Margauxfood.ca uses cookies to help us measure the number of visits, average time spent, pages viewed and other statistics relating to the use of our Website. Our cookies pose no security risk to you, since they do not contain any personal information, only a string of special characters that informs the service that you have already used the Website.

Safety measures

Margauxfood.ca understands the importance of protecting your personal information and uses the latest Internet security protocols to protect personal information collected by the Website. However, you should be aware that the Internet is not a secure means of communication. Accordingly, margauxfood.ca makes no representations or warranties as to the absolute security of any personal information you provide to us through the Website. You understand that you provide this information at your own risk.

Also, keep in mind that the voluntary disclosure of personal information in chat sessions, comments, e-mail or bulletin boards is not covered by this privacy policy, so you should always be careful about giving out your personal information in these ways. You transmit this information at your own risk. This information may be collected and used by third parties without your prior consent.

Third-party services

To personalize your experience on margauxfood.ca and simplify the subscription process, we offer you the possibility to access or interact with third-party services such as Facebook and Twitter. When you connect to margauxfood.ca through these third-party services, we may transmit information about you to the providers of those services, and they in turn may transmit information about you to us.
When you allow us to access your data through a third-party service to create a Site profile, we may use that data for several purposes, including:

Create automatic links in our system. For example, if you connect with us through a service that has a public friends list, such as Twitter, we may check to see if any of the people who follow you on Twitter are also members of margauxfood.ca. If we find a match, we’ll copy your Twitter relationship with those members by allowing them to become your fans, subscribers or friends on our Site.
Suggest relationships. For example, if you connect via a service with a private list of contacts (such as Google and Yahoo!), we check who among your contacts is a member of the Site and suggest that you become a fan of these users. This process is not automatic: you must choose to become a fan of suggested users.
Fill in a list of possible friends to whom you can send e-mails. When users forward content to their friends using, for example, the Site’s “forward to a friend” feature, we may use friends lists from third-party services to create a list of contacts to whom you can send the e-mail.
Fill in a list of possible friends to whom you can send messages about specific services. For example, we could use the friends lists of third-party services to create a list of contacts to whom you could send an invitation to watch an interactive presentation.
Improve and personalize your experience on the Site. When you log in through a third-party service, we may access certain account information, such as your profile picture, popular news stories on your network and what your friends are saying about certain articles or blog posts in order to enhance and personalize your experience on margauxfood.ca.

Guidelines for children

We do not intentionally collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under the age of 13 without verifiable parental consent, we will delete that information from our database as quickly as possible. If you believe that we may have collected information from a child under the age of 13, please contact us.

Changes to the privacy policy

We use cookies to improve your user experience and offer you enriched, personalized content.

A cookie (hereinafter referred to as the “Cookie(s)”) is a text file that may be stored on a terminal (computer, tablet, smartphone) when a browser is used to consult a Service. During its period of validity, a Cookie enables its issuer to recognize the terminal concerned each time this terminal accesses digital content containing Cookies from the same issuer.

The User is informed that, when connecting to the Site or the Applications and using the Services, Cookies are installed on the User’s receiving terminal (computer, tablet, smartphone, etc.) for the proper functioning of the Services, or on the User’s browser subject to the User’s expressed choice concerning Cookies; this choice may be modified at any time.

1) WHAT ARE THE PURPOSES OF COOKIES?

More specifically, these browsing cookies allow us to:

To adapt the presentation of the Site and the Applications to the display preferences of the terminal (language used, display resolution, operating system used, etc.) during Users’ visits to the Site and the Applications, depending on the display or reading hardware and software that the terminal is equipped with;
To memorize information relating to the form that the User has filled in on the Site and the Applications or to information that the User has chosen on the Site or the Application; To offer the User access to his/her account or to any other reserved area thanks to his/her identifiers;
To implement security measures, for example when the User is asked to reconnect to content or a Service after a certain period of time has elapsed.

b) Audience measurement cookies :

Audience measurement cookies are used to compile statistics and volumes of visits to and use of the various components of the Site and Applications (sections and content visited, path taken), enabling the Publisher to improve the interest and ergonomics of the Services.

c) Advertising cookies :

Advertising Cookies are used to determine in real time which advertisement to display based on the User’s recent browsing on the Site and Applications in order to limit the number of times the User has seen an advertisement and to help measure the effectiveness of an advertising campaign.

d) Behavioral analysis cookies :

Behavioral analysis cookies are used to identify what information on the Site and Applications might be of most interest to the User, to help improve browsing and make it more interesting.

Insofar as the User has provided the Publisher with Data concerning him or her, in particular when registering for the Services, the Publisher may, subject to the User’s choices, associate browsing information processed by Cookies issued by the Publisher with the User’s Data in order to send him or her, for example, electronic prospecting or to display personalized advertising on his or her terminal within advertising spaces containing Cookies.

The User may at any time request that he no longer receive advertising or prospecting tailored to his terminal’s browsing information, by contacting the Publisher directly and free of charge, or by using the unsubscribe link included in any prospecting that the Publisher may send him by e-mail. If the User chooses to refuse behavioral advertising, this does not mean that he or she will no longer receive advertising on the Internet. This only means that the advertising displayed on the Site or Application will no longer correspond to the User’s centers of interest or preferences on the web browser used by the User.

In the event that the Publisher intends to obtain the User’s browsing information from a third party that the Publisher could associate with the Data provided by the User, the Publisher will first seek the User’s explicit consent before proceeding with such association and sending the User targeted advertising or prospecting. The explicit agreement will consist in checking a box proposed on the Services to which he is registered as follows: “I wish to see or receive advertising tailored to my browsing by passionmlb.com partners.

2) HOW CAN THE USER MANAGE COOKIES?

The User is firstly informed that the Publisher’s partners and any other third parties may place Cookies on the Site. Only the sender of a Cookie is likely to read or modify the information contained therein, and the Publisher has no access to or control over Cookies that third parties may use. The issue and use of Cookies by third parties are subject to the privacy policies of these third parties in addition to the provisions of this Charter. Consequently, the User is invited to visit the websites of these third parties for more information on the Cookies they record and how the User can manage them.

a) Cookies agreement

The User is presumed to have given his consent:

by clicking on the “X” icon or the “I understand” button on the information banner visible when first connecting to the Site;
by continuing to browse, i.e. when the User has clicked on an element of the Site (image, link, “search” button, etc.) or has gone to another page of the Site.
If the User accepts the storage of Cookies in his/her terminal, the Cookies integrated in the pages and content he/she has consulted may be stored temporarily in a dedicated space in his/her terminal. They can only be read by the sender.

The consent given by the User is only valid for a period of thirteen (13) months from the first deposit in the User’s terminal equipment, following the expression of the User’s consent.

b) Refusing Cookies

If the User refuses to accept cookies on his/her terminal or browser, or if he/she deletes the cookies stored there, the User is informed that his/her browsing and experience on the Site or Application may be limited. This may also be the case when the Publisher or one of its service providers is unable to recognize, for technical compatibility purposes, 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.

Where applicable, the Publisher declines all responsibility for the consequences of the degraded operation of the Services resulting from (i) refusal of Cookies by the User (ii) the impossibility for the Publisher to record or consult the Cookies necessary for their operation due to the User’s choice.

The User may configure his or her browsing software so that Cookies are stored in the terminal or, conversely, so that they are rejected, either systematically or depending on the sender.
