Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how Growthpointpro uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website. Cookies are small text files that get stored on your device—your computer, phone, or tablet—when you browse websites. They help sites remember things about your visit.
We use cookies for a few reasons. Some are essential. Without them, the website simply wouldn't work properly. Others help us understand how people use our site so we can make it better. And some remember your preferences so you don't have to set them every time you visit.
This policy covers what types of cookies we use, what they do, how long they stick around, and how you can control them. It's your device, after all.
Types of cookies we use
Necessary/Essential cookies
These cookies are required for the website to function. They handle things like keeping you logged in during a session, remembering items in a form you're filling out, and basic security features. You can't really opt out of these—if you block them, parts of the site will break. We keep these to the minimum needed for the site to work.
Functional cookies
Functional cookies remember choices you make to give you a better experience. For example, they might remember your language preference or which region you're browsing from. They can also remember if you've already dismissed a popup so you don't see it repeatedly. These aren't strictly necessary, but they make using the site more pleasant. They typically last longer than a single session.
Analytics cookies
We may use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our website. What pages do people visit most? Where do they spend time? Where do they leave? This information is aggregated and anonymous—we're looking at patterns, not tracking individuals. Analytics help us figure out what's working and what needs improvement. If you'd rather not contribute to these statistics, you can opt out.
Marketing/Advertising cookies
These cookies track your browsing activity to help show you relevant advertisements. We only set marketing cookies if you give explicit consent. If you decline them, you'll still see ads—they just won't be tailored to your interests based on your browsing history. These cookies may be set by third-party advertising partners.
Specific cookies we use
Here are the main cookies you might encounter on our site:
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration | |-------------|---------|----------| | session_id | Maintains your session while browsing. Technical necessity. | Expires when you close your browser | | consent_v1 | Stores your cookie consent preferences so we don't ask every visit. | 12 months | | lang_pref | Remembers your language selection. | 6 months | | csrf_token | Security token to prevent cross-site request forgery attacks. | Session | | visited | Notes that you've been here before; may affect welcome messaging. | 30 days |
This list covers cookies we directly control. Third-party services may set additional cookies, which we describe in the next section.
Third-party cookies
Some pages on our site include content or functionality from third-party services. For instance, we might embed a map to show our studio location at 10355 82 Ave NW, Edmonton. These services may set their own cookies according to their own policies.
We don't control third-party cookies. If you want details about what they collect and why, you'll need to check the privacy and cookie policies of those specific services. Common third parties include mapping providers, social media platforms, and analytics tools.
We try to limit third-party integrations to what's genuinely useful. But once you interact with embedded content—clicking a map, playing a video—that third party may set cookies on your device.
Managing cookies
You have control over cookies. Every major browser lets you view and delete cookies, block them entirely, or block only certain types.
Here's the general approach:
- **Chrome**: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- **Firefox**: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- **Safari**: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- **Edge**: Settings → Cookies and site permissions
You can also set your browser to notify you whenever a site tries to set a cookie, giving you a chance to accept or reject it in real time.
A word of caution: blocking essential cookies will affect how our website works. Forms might not submit properly. Sessions might not persist. We can't guarantee full functionality if necessary cookies are disabled.
Your consent
When you first visit our website, you'll see a cookie consent notice. This gives you the choice to accept or reject non-essential cookies—the analytics and marketing ones. Essential cookies don't require consent because they're necessary for basic operation.
Your choice is stored in a cookie (ironic, we know) so we don't have to ask you every single time. If you change your mind later, you can clear your cookies through your browser settings and you'll see the consent prompt again on your next visit. Or adjust your browser settings to block specific cookie categories going forward.
We respect your choice either way.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Maybe we'll start using a new analytics tool. Maybe regulations will change. When we make changes, we'll update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
For significant changes—like introducing new categories of cookies—we may also display a notice on our website. But it's a good idea to check this policy occasionally if you want to stay informed.

We're happy to explain anything that isn't clear. It's your data and your device—you deserve to understand what's happening with both.
