Cookies do not in any way risk damaging the User’s terminal.

https://tackinthebox.ca may process the User’s information regarding their visit to the Site, such as the pages viewed and the searches performed. This information allows https://tackinthebox.ca to improve the content of the Site and the User’s navigation.

Cookies facilitate navigation and/or the provision of services offered by the Site. The User can configure their browser to allow them to decide whether or not to accept them so that Cookies are stored on the terminal or, on the contrary, are rejected, either systematically or according to their sender. The User can also configure their browsing software so that the acceptance or refusal of Cookies is offered to them occasionally, before a Cookie is likely to be stored on their terminal. https://tackinthebox.ca informs the User that, in this case, it is possible that not all the features of their browsing software will be available.

If the User refuses to store Cookies on their terminal or browser, or if the User deletes those that are stored there, the User is informed that their navigation and experience on the Site may be limited. This could also be the case when https://tackinthebox.ca or one of its service providers cannot recognize, for technical compatibility reasons, the type of browser used by the terminal, the language and display settings, or the country from which the terminal appears to be connected to the Internet.

In such cases, https://tackinthebox.ca declines all responsibility for the consequences related to the degraded operation of the Site and the services possibly offered by https://tackinthebox.ca, resulting (i) from the User’s refusal of Cookies (ii) from the impossibility for https://tackinthebox.ca to record or consult the Cookies necessary for their operation due to the User’s choice. For the management of Cookies and the User’s choices, the configuration of each browser is different. It is described in the help menu of the browser, which will allow the User to know how they can modify their wishes regarding Cookies.

At any time, the User can choose to express and modify their wishes regarding Cookies. https://tackinthebox.ca may also use the services of external providers to help collect and process the information described in this section.

Finally, by clicking on the icons dedicated to the social networks Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Google Plus on the Site of https://tackinthebox.ca or in its mobile application, and if the User has accepted the deposit of cookies by continuing their navigation on the Internet Site or the mobile application of https://tackinthebox.ca, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Google Plus may also deposit cookies on your terminals (computer, tablet, mobile phone).

These types of cookies are only deposited on your terminals if you consent to them by continuing your navigation on the Internet Site or the mobile application of https://tackinthebox.ca. At any time, however, the User can withdraw their consent to https://tackinthebox.ca depositing this type of cookie.

Article 9.2. INTERNET TAGS (“TAGS”)

https://tackinthebox.ca may occasionally use internet tags (also called “tags”, or action tags, one-pixel GIFs, transparent GIFs, invisible GIFs, and one-to-one GIFs) and deploy them through a web analytics specialist partner who may be located (and therefore store the corresponding information, including the User’s IP address) in a foreign country.

These tags are placed both in online advertisements allowing internet users to access the Site, and on the various pages of the Site.

This technology allows https://tackinthebox.ca to evaluate the responses of visitors to the Site and the effectiveness of its actions (for example, the number of times a page is opened and the information consulted), as well as the use of this Site by the User.

The external provider may possibly collect information about visitors to the Site and other websites through these tags, compile reports on the activity of the Site for https://tackinthebox.ca, and provide other services related to the use of the Site and the Internet.
