<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>This Cookie Policy explains how OurOpenMedia (“Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our“) uses cookies and</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website at vitalmind.ca (“Website“). It</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>In some cases we may use cookies to collect personal information, or that becomes personal information if we</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>combine it with other information.</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>What are cookies?</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website.</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>well as to provide reporting information.</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, OurOpenMedia) are called “first-party cookies.” Cookies</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>set by parties other than the website owner are called “third-party cookies.” Third-party cookies enable third-</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content,</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Why do we use cookies?</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>We use first- and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>order for our Website to operate, and we refer to these as “essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies. Other</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Online</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Properties. Third parties serve cookies through our Website for advertising, analytics, and other purposes. This</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>is described in more detail below.</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>How can I control cookies?</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie rights by setting</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>your preferences in the Cookie Consent Manager. The Cookie Consent Manager allows you to select which</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>categories of cookies you accept or reject. Essential cookies cannot be rejected as they are strictly necessary</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>to provide you with services.</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>The Cookie Consent Manager can be found in the notification banner and on our website. If you choose to</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>reject cookies, you may still use our website though your access to some functionality and areas of our website</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>may be restricted. You may also set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies.</span>

<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>How can I control cookies on my browser?</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>As the means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser to</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>browser, you should visit your browser’s help menu for more information. The following is information about</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>how to manage cookies on the most popular browsers:</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Chrome</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Internet Explorer</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Firefox</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Safari</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Edge</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Opera</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>In addition, most advertising networks offer you a way to opt out of targeted advertising. If you would like to find</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>out more information, please visit:</span>

<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>What about other tracking technologies, like web beacons?</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called “tracking pixels” or “clear gifs”). These are tiny graphics</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>files that contain a unique identifier that enables us to recognize when someone has visited our Website or</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>opened an email including them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>page within a website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>come to the website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>performance, and to measure the success of email marketing campaigns. In many instances, these</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Do you use Flash cookies or Local Shared Objects?</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Websites may also use so-called “Flash Cookies” (also known as Local Shared Objects or “LSOs”) to, among</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>other things, collect and store information about your use of our services, fraud prevention, and for other site</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>operations.</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>If you do not want Flash Cookies stored on your computer, you can adjust the settings of your Flash player to</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>block Flash Cookies storage using the tools contained in the Website Storage Settings Panel. You can also</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>control Flash Cookies by going to the Global Storage Settings Panel and following the instructions (which may</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>include instructions that explain, for example, how to delete existing Flash Cookies (referred to “information” on</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>the Macromedia site), how to prevent Flash LSOs from being placed on your computer without your being</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>asked, and (for Flash Player 8 and later) how to block Flash Cookies that are not being delivered by the</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>operator of the page you are on at the time).</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Please note that setting the Flash Player to restrict or limit acceptance of Flash Cookies may reduce or impede</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>the functionality of some Flash applications, including, potentially, Flash applications used in connection with</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>our services or online content.</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Do you serve targeted advertising?</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Third parties may serve cookies on your computer or mobile device to serve advertising through our Website.</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>These companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide relevant</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>advertisements about goods and services that you may be interested in. They may also employ technology that</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>is used to measure the effectiveness of advertisements. They can accomplish this by using cookies or web</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>beacons to collect information about your visits to this and other sites in order to provide relevant</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>advertisements about goods and services of potential interest to you. The information collected through this</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>process does not enable us or them to identify your name, contact details, or other details that directly identify</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>you unless you choose to provide these.</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>How often will you update this Cookie Policy?</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please therefore revisit this Cookie Policy regularly to</span>
