We use cookies to improve your experience on http://samara.ca. This cookie policy is part of Samara's privacy policy and covers the use of cookies between your device and our site. We also provide basic information on third-party services we may use, which may also use cookies as part of their services, although they are not covered by our policy.

A cookie is a small data file that a website stores on your device when you visit it, typically containing information about the site itself, a unique identifier that allows the site to recognize your browser during subsequent visits, additional data serving the purpose of the cookie, and its lifespan. Cookies are used to enable certain features (e.g., login), to track site usage (e.g., analytics), to store your user settings (e.g., time zone, notification preferences), and to personalize content (e.g., advertising, language). Cookies set by the site you are visiting are normally called «first-party cookies» and generally track your activity only on that particular site. Cookies set by other sites or companies (i.e., third parties) are called «third-party cookies» and can be used to track your activity on other websites using the same third-party service.
Essential cookies are crucial for your website experience, enabling basic features such as user logins, account management, shopping carts, and payment processing. We use these essential cookies to enable certain functions on our site.
Performance cookies are used to track how you use a website during your visit, without collecting personal information about you. Generally, this information is anonymous and aggregated with data from all site users to help companies understand visitor usage trends, identify and diagnose problems or errors their users may encounter, and make better strategic decisions to improve their audience's overall experience on the site. These cookies may be set by the site you are visiting (first-party) or by third-party services. We use performance cookies on our site.
Functional cookies are used to collect information about your device and any settings you configure on the website you are visiting (such as language and time zone settings). This information allows websites to provide you with personalized, enhanced, or optimized content and services. These cookies may be set by the site you are visiting (first-party) or by a third-party service. We use functional cookies for certain features on our site.
Targeting/advertising cookies are used to determine the promotional content that is most relevant and appropriate for you and your interests. Websites can use them to deliver targeted advertising or to limit the number of times you see an ad. This helps companies improve the effectiveness of their campaigns and the quality of the content presented. These cookies can be set by the site you are visiting (first-party) or by third-party services. Targeting/advertising cookies set by third parties may be used to track you across other websites that use the same third-party service. We use this type of cookie on our site.
We may employ third-party companies and individuals on our websites, such as analytics providers or content partners. We grant these third parties access to certain information to perform specific tasks on our behalf. They may also set third-party cookies to provide the services they offer. Third-party cookies may be used to track you across other websites that use the same third-party service. Since we have no control over third-party cookies, they are not covered by Samara's cookie policy.
We review the privacy policies of all our third-party vendors before using their services to ensure their practices comply with our own. We will never intentionally use third-party services that compromise or violate our users' privacy.
If you do not wish to accept cookies from us, you can configure your browser to refuse them on our website. Most browsers are set up to accept cookies by default, but you can change these settings to refuse them or to be notified when a website attempts to set or update a cookie. If you browse websites from multiple devices, you may need to update your settings on each device. Although some cookies can be blocked without significantly impacting your browsing experience, blocking all cookies may prevent you from accessing certain features and content on the sites you visit.
