ClimateRoad Inc. (“ClimateRoad”, “we”, “us” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on climateroad.ca. This Cookie Policy explains what these technologies are, why we use them and how you can manage your choices.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on a device when a website is visited. They can support website functions, remember choices and provide information about website activity. Similar technologies may include pixels, tags, local storage and software development tools that perform related functions.

2. How we use these technologies

ClimateRoad may use cookies and similar technologies to:

• operate essential website features and maintain security

• remember cookie consent selections

• understand which pages and resources are useful

• measure website performance and diagnose errors

• support optional functionality or communications where implemented

3. Cookie categories

Strictly necessary

These technologies are required for core operation, security, network management or storage of your privacy choices. They cannot usually be disabled through our preference tool because the website may not function properly without them.

Analytics and performance

These technologies help us understand page activity, resource downloads, referral sources and website performance. Where consent is required, they remain inactive until you choose to allow them.

Functional

These technologies remember optional settings or enable enhanced features. ClimateRoad will use them only if such features are implemented and in accordance with applicable consent requirements.

Marketing

These technologies can measure campaigns or support advertising based on activity or inferred interests. ClimateRoad does not plan to use behavioural advertising cookies for the V1 launch. If that changes, this Policy and the Cookie Declaration will be updated and the required choice will be provided before activation.

4. First-party and third-party technologies

First-party cookies are set by ClimateRoad’s website. Third-party technologies are provided by another organization such as a hosting, analytics, security or embedded-content provider. Third parties may process information under their own terms and privacy practices. The Cookie Declaration identifies the providers confirmed on the live website.

5. Managing your choices

When you first visit the website, the cookie notice will provide available choices. You can select “Accept all”, “Reject non-essential” or manage categories through “Cookie Preferences”. The choices must be equally clear and non-essential technologies must remain inactive until any required consent is received.

You can return to Cookie Preferences through the website footer to change or withdraw a choice. You may also control cookies in your browser. Browser controls may not manage every similar technology and blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect website operation.

6. Information collected

Depending on the technology, collected information may include an internet protocol address, browser and device information, operating system, approximate region, pages viewed, referral source, date and time, session interactions, resource downloads and cookie or consent identifiers. Please see our Privacy Policy for more information about how we handle personal information.

7. Retention

Cookies may last only for a browsing session or remain for a stated period. Information produced through these technologies is retained only as long as reasonably necessary for its purpose and applicable legal or operational requirements. Specific cookie durations appear in the Cookie Declaration.

8. Updates and contact

We may update this Policy when our website, providers or legal obligations change. The revised version will be posted with a new “Last updated” date.

Questions about cookies or privacy choices may be sent to the Privacy Officer at [email protected] or mailed to ClimateRoad Inc., 255 Brookdale Avenue, Toronto, Ontario M5M 1P6, Canada.
