Cookie policy

The short version

This website does not use advertising cookies, analytics cookies, social-media tracking pixels or any other technology designed to follow you around the web or build a profile of you. That's why you don't see a cookie banner asking for permission: there is nothing of that kind to consent to.

The rest of this page explains, in more detail, what cookies are, what the site does and does not store in your browser, and what infrastructure-level technology may still be involved in delivering it.

What cookies and browser storage are

Cookies are small text files that a website asks your browser to store, so that the site — or a third party — can recognise your browser later. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage and tracking pixels. Some are strictly necessary for a site to work, such as those that keep you logged in or protect a form from abuse. Others are used for analytics, personalisation or advertising.

Canadian privacy law expects organisations to be open about how they collect information online, including through cookies, and to obtain meaningful consent for non-essential tracking.

What this website stores

The website itself does not set cookies. It has no user accounts, no shopping cart, no personalisation and no analytics, so it has no need to remember your browser between visits.

Fonts, images, styles and scripts are served from our own domain rather than from third-party content networks, so loading a page does not send your details to font or script providers.

Technology used by our infrastructure

The website is delivered through Cloudflare, which protects it against attacks and abuse. To do that job, our hosting provider may, in some circumstances, set strictly necessary security cookies or perform checks on incoming traffic. These are used to distinguish legitimate visitors from malicious traffic, not to track you or show you advertising.

The contact form does not load a third-party anti-automation check. Its protection against automated submissions is a hidden field that people leave empty, and it stores nothing in your browser.

What we do not use

For clarity, this website does not use:

• analytics or statistics cookies
• advertising or retargeting cookies
• social-media pixels or embedded tracking
• third-party chat widgets
• embedded videos or maps that set cookies before you interact with them
• fingerprinting or cross-site tracking techniques

Categories of cookies, and where this site stands

Cookies are usually grouped by what they do. Here is how each category applies to this website:

• Strictly necessary — required to deliver and protect a site. This site does not set its own; its hosting provider may set security cookies when needed to protect it from abuse.
• Preferences — remember choices such as language or region. Not used: the site has one language and nothing to remember.
• Statistics or analytics — measure how visitors use a site. Not used.
• Marketing or advertising — track visitors across sites to target adverts. Not used.
• Social media — set by embedded share buttons or feeds. Not used: the site embeds no social-media content.

How you can check for yourself

You don't have to take our word for it. Most desktop browsers include developer tools that show exactly what a website stores. In Chrome, Edge or Firefox, open the page, open the developer tools (usually with the F12 key), and look under Application or Storage for the Cookies, Local Storage and Session Storage entries for cysolutionsinc.com. In Safari, enable the Develop menu in the advanced settings first. You can also review and clear the data stored for this site from your browser's privacy settings at any time.

If you ever see something stored by this website that doesn't match this policy, please tell us so we can investigate.

Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control

Some browsers can send a Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signal asking websites not to track or sell your information. Because this website does not track visitors or sell personal information in the first place, it behaves the same way whether or not your browser sends these signals.

Links to other websites

Our guides link to external sources such as government publications. When you follow those links, you leave this website, and the other site's own cookie and privacy policies apply. We don't control the cookies set by other websites.

How to control cookies yourself

Every modern browser lets you see, block and delete cookies and other stored data, either for all websites or for specific ones. You'll usually find these options under Privacy or Security in your browser's settings. You can also use private browsing, which clears cookies when you close the window. Blocking strictly necessary security cookies can occasionally stop a protected form from working; if that happens, you can email us instead.

If this changes

If we ever add technology that stores information on your device for a purpose other than delivering and protecting the website — for example, analytics — we will update this policy first and, where consent is required, ask for it before any such technology runs. The date at the top of this page shows when the policy was last revised.
