Cookie Policy
Last Updated: March 12, 2026
How this policy fits with our Privacy Policy
This Cookie Policy supplements our Privacy Policy, which describes how we handle personal data more broadly. This page focuses on cookies and similar technologies used on the TATY Community Learning website, including how you can control optional categories.
“Cookies” are small text files stored on your device by your browser. We also use similar technologies that behave like cookies, such as pixel tags and server-side event signals. When we refer to “cookies” in this policy, we include these related identifiers unless noted otherwise.
Who we are
This website is operated by TATY Community Learning Inc. (“TATY Community Learning”, “we”, “us”). We provide Canada-focused lifelong learning programs, community workshops, and educational resources for adult learners.

What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies help websites remember information between pages or between visits. Some cookies are required for core site functionality (for example, maintaining session continuity). Others help us understand which pages are most useful, and which content needs improving. Some cookies can also support advertising measurement and remarketing, where permitted by your preferences and applicable law.
Cookies can be classified in a few ways:
- By lifespan: session cookies (deleted when you close your browser) and persistent cookies (stored for a set period).
- By origin: first-party cookies (set by this website) and third-party cookies (set by another domain through embedded services).
- By purpose: essential, analytics, and marketing categories described below.
In addition to browser cookies, our site may rely on pixel tags (small requests that transmit limited technical data) and server-side signals used to measure whether a request or form action occurred. These tools are used only when allowed by your consent choice, except where strictly necessary for security or site operation.
Cookie categories used on this website
We group cookies into three categories so you can make a clear choice. You can change your selection at any time using “Manage cookie preferences” in the footer. If you choose to reject non-essential cookies, the website will still work, but some measurement and advertising features may not operate.
1) Essential cookies (always active)
These cookies are required for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our preference tool. They support basic operations such as page navigation, session continuity, and saving your cookie preference selection. They may also be used for limited security purposes, such as detecting abusive traffic patterns.
Without essential cookies, key features like form submission and preference storage may not work properly.
2) Analytics cookies (optional)
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use our website so we can improve content structure, accessibility, and navigation. When enabled, we may use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) with IP anonymization to measure aggregated usage metrics such as page views, time on page, and referral sources.
We use analytics to improve educational materials and reduce friction in the learning information request process. Analytics data does not include your contact form message content.
3) Marketing cookies (optional)
Marketing cookies help measure advertising effectiveness and can support relevant advertising, including remarketing. When enabled, these may include cookies set by Google Ads and Meta platforms, such as the Google conversion linker and Meta Pixel identifiers.
Marketing cookies may be used to (a) attribute a form submission to an ad interaction, (b) limit how often you see the same ad, and (c) build audiences for showing learning program information to people likely to be interested. We do not use marketing cookies to make decisions about eligibility, credit, employment, or similar sensitive determinations.

Third-party providers
When optional cookies are enabled, third-party services may place or read cookies through our site. We use these services to operate and improve our educational content and to measure advertising performance where applicable.

- Meta Platforms, Inc. (Meta Pixel and related tools): https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy/
- Cloudflare, Inc. (security and content delivery, where used): https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/
We do not permit these providers to use site data for their own independent commercial purposes. Any processing by third parties is governed by their terms and privacy documentation, as well as the configuration choices we apply.
Managing your cookie preferences
You can manage your preferences in three practical ways:
- Use our site tool: select “Manage cookie preferences” in the footer to accept, reject, or customize optional categories.
- Change browser settings: most browsers let you block or delete cookies. Note that blocking essential cookies may reduce site functionality.
- Use provider opt-outs: Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. Google Ads settings: https://adssettings.google.com. Meta ad preferences: https://www.facebook.com/adpreferences. European interactive advertising choices: https://www.youronlinechoices.eu.
If you clear your cookies, your cookie preferences may be reset and you may see the cookie banner again on your next visit.
Updates to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in the cookies we use, changes in service providers, or changes in legal requirements. When we make material updates, we will post the revised version on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date.
