Cookie Notice
Last updated: May 1, 2026
This Cookie Notice explains what cookies and similar technologies are, which ones we use on sentinelidentity.ca, and how you can manage or opt out of them. It supplements our Privacy Policy.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit it. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, pixels, and SDK identifiers. They allow a site to remember information between page loads or visits — for example, to keep you signed in, to remember your preferences, or to measure how the site is used.
2. Categories of cookies on this site
Strictly necessary
Required for the Site to function correctly — for example, to remember your theme preference (light/dark) and to protect form submissions from cross-site forgery. These cannot be disabled through this site.
Analytics
We use Vercel Analytics which is cookieless — it measures page views and basic interaction patterns without persistent identifiers. We also maintain a small server-side visitor counter that stores anonymous, truncated IP-derived event data in our Neon Postgres database for traffic measurement.
Advertising
When Google AdSense is enabled, Google and its advertising partners may set cookies (including the DoubleClick DART cookie) to serve ads based on prior visits to this and other websites. You can review Google's use of advertising cookies in the Google Advertising Technologies notice and in the How Google uses information from sites notice.
3. Opting out of advertising cookies
You can opt out of personalized advertising in several ways:
- Google Ad Settings: adssettings.google.com to turn off personalized advertising for your Google account.
- YourAdChoices (DAA, United States): youradchoices.com.
- YourAdChoices Canada: youradchoices.ca.
- NAI consumer opt-out (US): optout.networkadvertising.org.
- EDAA Your Online Choices (Europe): youronlinechoices.eu.
4. Managing cookies in your browser
All major browsers let you view, delete, and block cookies. Refer to your browser's help documentation for Chrome, Edge, Safari, Firefox, or Brave. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may break parts of the Site.
5. Do Not Track
Browsers can send a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. There is no industry consensus on how to honor DNT. We do not currently respond to DNT signals but we use minimal first-party tracking by default.
6. Changes to this notice
We may update this Cookie Notice as the site, vendors, or law change. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates the most recent revision.
7. Contact
