8. Changes

We reserve the right to update this policy. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.

I will also need a banner on my site because:

Yes, according to Quebec's Bill 25 and the recommended practices for compliance with data protection legislation, a cookie consent banner is required if your site uses cookies that are not strictly necessary for the basic operation of the site (such as tracking or analytics cookies).

The banner informs visitors about the use of cookies and gives them the opportunity to consent or refuse. It must appear as soon as they arrive on the site, before any data is collected through non-essential cookies. Here are the principles to follow to be compliant:

1. Clarity and transparency: The banner must clearly indicate what types of cookies are used and their purpose.

2. Prior consent: Non-essential cookies should not be placed on the user's browser without their consent.

3. Easy opt-out: Users should be able to manage and withdraw their consent at any time, with easy access to cookie settings.

A consent banner is therefore required to comply with the law.
