Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognize your device and remember information about your visit, such as your preferences or login status.

We also use similar technologies such as local storage and session storage for certain platform functions. This policy covers all such technologies used by SafeChecker.

SafeChecker uses the following types of cookies:

• Strictly necessary cookies: Required for the platform to function. These include session cookies that keep you logged in while you use the verification portal, maintain your security context, and enable secure access to verification reports. Without these cookies, core features such as authentication and secure document access would not work.
• Functional cookies: Remember your preferences (e.g., language, region) and improve usability. These help personalize your experience on our platform.
• Analytics cookies: Help us understand how visitors use our marketing website (e.g., pages viewed, time spent). We use this information to improve our site and services. These cookies do not track activity within the secure verification portal where sensitive data is processed.

We do not use advertising cookies or sell cookie data to third parties. Our verification platform prioritizes security; session cookies for secure access are essential and cannot be disabled if you wish to use the service.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

• View which cookies are stored and delete them individually or in bulk.
• Block third-party cookies.
• Block cookies from specific sites.
• Block all cookies (though this may prevent the platform from functioning properly).

For our marketing website, you may be able to adjust analytics cookie preferences via a cookie banner or settings link, where provided. For the secure verification portal, session cookies are required for authentication and cannot be disabled without losing access to the service.

Instructions for managing cookies in popular browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) can be found in your browser's help section.

We may use third-party services that set their own cookies:

• Analytics: We may use analytics providers (e.g., Google Analytics) on our marketing website to understand traffic and usage. These providers may set cookies subject to their own privacy policies.
• Security and reCAPTCHA: We may use reCAPTCHA or similar services to protect forms from abuse. These services may set cookies to perform their function.

We select third-party providers that comply with Canadian privacy law (PIPEDA) and require appropriate data handling. We do not use third-party advertising cookies on our platform.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. We will post the updated policy on this page and indicate the date of the last update. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.

Continued use of the SafeChecker platform after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Cookie Policy.
