Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to site owners and advertisers. Similar technologies include web beacons (pixels), local storage, and device identifiers; in this policy we refer to all of them collectively as “cookies”.

Cookies may be “first-party” (set by ayshacanada.com) or “third-party” (set by another domain, such as an advertising or analytics provider). They may be “session” cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or “persistent” cookies (which remain for a set period).

Why We Use Cookies

We use cookies to:

• Make the site function and remember your preferences (e.g. theme)
• Understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it
• Measure the performance of our content and campaigns
• Serve and measure advertising, including through Google AdSense

Types of Cookies We Use

• Strictly necessary cookies. Required for the site to operate (security, load balancing, basic preferences). These cannot be switched off in our systems.
• Preference cookies. Remember choices such as your light/dark theme and campaign attribution.
• Analytics cookies. Help us understand traffic and usage on an aggregated basis.
• Advertising cookies. Set by us or our advertising partners (including Google) to deliver and measure ads and, where permitted, to personalise them.

Google AdSense & DoubleClick Cookies

We use Google AdSense to display advertising on ayshacanada.com. As part of this:

• Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on our site. Google’s use of advertising cookies — including the DoubleClick cookie — enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to ayshacanada.com and/or other sites on the Internet.
• Third-party vendors and ad networks may also serve ads on our site and may themselves use cookies to measure ad effectiveness and to serve ads relevant to your interests.
• These cookies may collect data such as your IP address, device information, and the pages you view, in accordance with the providers’ own privacy policies.

You can control or opt out of personalised advertising:

• Manage Google ad personalisation at Google Ads Settings.
• Opt out of many third-party advertising cookies at aboutads.info/choices (US) and youronlinechoices.eu (EU).
• Learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

Analytics Cookies

We may use analytics services such as Google Analytics to understand how the site is used. These services set cookies that collect information such as how often users visit, what pages they view, and what other sites they used before arriving. We use this information to improve the site. You can opt out of Google Analytics with the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Managing & Opting Out of Cookies

Most browsers let you view, manage, delete, and block cookies. Look in your browser’s settings or help menu. Useful links:

• Google Chrome
• Mozilla Firefox
• Apple Safari
• Microsoft Edge

Please note that if you disable cookies, some parts of the site may not function as intended. Blocking advertising cookies will not remove ads but may make them less relevant to you.

Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal. Because there is no common industry standard for DNT, our site does not currently respond to DNT signals. You can still control advertising and analytics cookies using the options described above.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, law, or our practices. The “Last updated” date above shows the latest revision.
