Cookie Policy

Last updated: April 28, 2026

This page explains what cookies and similar technologies traztech.ca uses, why we use them, and how you can control them. We aim to be straightforward. No fine print buried under legalese.

What is a cookie

A cookie is a small text file a website stores on your device. Cookies are how a browser remembers things between page loads: your login session, your preferences, what page you came from. We also use related browser storage (localStorage, sessionStorage) for the same purpose.

What we set ourselves

traztech.ca sets a small number of first-party items on your browser:

  • tt-theme, stored in localStorage. Remembers your light/dark mode choice. Not a cookie. We never read it server-side.
  • Session cookies on logged-in apps. If you sign in to /clarity or /reskillix, those products set standard session cookies so you stay logged in. They expire when you close your browser or log out.

We do not set first-party tracking, advertising, or analytics cookies on the marketing site itself.

Third parties that may set cookies

A few third-party services run on our pages. They may set their own cookies under their own privacy policies. We don't control them, but we'll tell you who they are and why they're here:

  • Cloudflare is our CDN and edge security layer. It sets cookies like __cf_bm and cf_clearance to distinguish humans from bots and protect against abuse. Cloudflare cookie policy.
  • HubSpot handles our contact-form submissions and tells us whether the site is converting. It may set cookies like __hstc, hubspotutk, __hssc. HubSpot cookie policy.
  • Tawk.to powers the live chat widget at the bottom of the page. It sets cookies to maintain your chat session and remember chat history. Tawk.to privacy policy.
  • Google Fonts and CDN assets. We load fonts from Google and Bootstrap/Font Awesome from public CDNs. Standard CDN logging applies.

Why we don't show a cookie banner

We don't run advertising trackers, retargeting pixels, or analytics that profile you across sites. The cookies that do get set are functional (CDN security, chat session, form submissions). Under most privacy regimes (including GDPR and PIPEDA) those don't require a consent banner, and we'd rather not interrupt you with one. If that ever changes, we'll add a real consent flow.

How to control cookies

You're in charge of your browser. Every modern browser lets you clear cookies, block them per-site, or block third parties entirely:

Blocking everything won't break the marketing site. It may break the chat widget and form submissions.

Do Not Track

If your browser sends a Do Not Track signal, we honour it. None of our analytics or behaviour-tracking calls fire. Most of our third parties also honour DNT; for the ones that don't, blocking third-party cookies in your browser is the more reliable route.

Changes to this policy

If we add a new third-party service or change how something works, we'll update the date at the top of this page. We don't email about cookie policy changes. Checking back here is the canonical source.
