This Cookie Policy explains how 3C Projects uses cookies and similar storage technologies on www.3cprojects.ca. For a full overview of how we handle personal data, see our Privacy Policy.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences and how you interact with them. We also use localStorage — a similar browser-based storage mechanism that is not transmitted with every request.
What We Use
We use the absolute minimum. Here is a complete list:
| Key | Storage | Category | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
3cp.consent | localStorage | Strictly Necessary | Stores your cookie consent decision so we don't ask again on every page | Until you clear browser storage or change your preference |
3cp.theme | localStorage | Strictly Necessary | Remembers your light / dark mode preference | Until you clear browser storage |
_ga | Cookie | Analytics (consent only) | Google Analytics — distinguishes unique visitors without storing personal data | 2 years |
_ga_* | Cookie | Analytics (consent only) | Google Analytics — persists session state | 2 years |
Cloudflare Web Analytics is also active on this site. It collects completely anonymous, cookieless page-view data — no personal information, no cookies, no consent required. Learn more.
Strictly Necessary Storage
The 3cp.consent and 3cp.theme localStorage keys are essential for the site to function as you expect. They cannot be switched off without breaking core features (cookie preference memory and theme preference memory). They are never shared with third parties.
Analytics Cookies (Optional)
If you accept analytics cookies, Google Analytics 4 cookies are set. These help us understand how visitors use our site in aggregate — which pages are most popular, where visitors come from, and whether improvements are needed. The data is:
- Anonymised — we cannot identify you as an individual
- Not sold or shared with advertisers
- Processed under Google's Privacy Policy
If you decline analytics cookies, these are never set and no GA4 data is collected.
How to Manage Your Preferences
You have several options for managing cookies:
- Cookie banner — use the Accept / Decline / Manage buttons that appear when you first visit the site.
- Cookie Settings — click “Cookie Settings” in the footer at any time to review or update your preferences.
- Browser settings — most browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies and localStorage data. This may affect how the site behaves (e.g. your theme preference will reset on each visit).
- Google opt-out — use the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on to prevent all GA4 tracking across websites.
Third-Party Cookies We Do NOT Use
To be clear, we do not use:
- Advertising or retargeting cookies
- Social media tracking pixels (Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.)
- Cross-site tracking cookies of any kind
- Any cookies from advertising networks
Changes to This Policy
If we add or change the cookies we use, we will update this page and the “Last updated” date. Significant changes will be communicated via the cookie banner on your next visit.
