Last Updated: 2024

1. Regulatory Context

In accordance with Canadian federal and provincial legislation, specifically the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and British Columbia's Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA), Orvinzalo is committed to transparency regarding data collection.

This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our guide on starting to invest in Vancouver with small capital. By continuing to navigate our site, you acknowledge our use of cookies as described herein, subject to your specific preferences.

2. Defining Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They serve as a memory for the website, allowing it to recognize your device upon return, remember your preferences, and provide a more personalized experience.

"In the context of Vancouver's digital financial ecosystem, cookies allow us to tailor investment insights—from REITs to TFSA strategies—based on your previous interactions with our architectural guide."

3. Categories of Cookies We Use

We categorize our cookies into four functional groups:

A. Strictly Necessary Cookies

These are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences or logging in.

Lifespan: Session to 1 year

B. Analytical/Performance Cookies

They allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us know which pages are the most and least popular (e.g., our Section on Micro-Investment Entry Points) and see how visitors move around the site.

Lifespan: 24 hours to 2 years (Google Analytics standard)

C. Functional Cookies

These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages.

Lifespan: Up to 12 months

D. Targeting/Marketing Cookies

These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites based on your interest in Vancouver real estate or Canadian equity markets.

Lifespan: Variable, typically 30-90 days

4. Third-Party Cookies

In some special cases, we also use cookies provided by trusted third parties. The following section details which third-party cookies you might encounter through Orvinzalo:

  • Google Analytics: To understand how you use the site and ways that we can improve your experience.
  • Social Media Plugins: To allow you to connect with your social networks in various ways.
  • Financial Data Aggregators: To provide real-time market snapshots of the TSX or Vancouver housing trends.

5. Legal Basis for Processing

Under PIPEDA and PIPA, the legal basis for our use of non-essential cookies is your implied or express consent. When you first visit Orvinzalo, we request your consent via our Cookie Banner. You have the right to withdraw this consent at any time by adjusting your settings. Essential cookies are processed based on our legitimate interest in providing a functional and secure digital platform.

6. Managing Your Preferences

You can manage your cookie preferences through several channels:

On-Site Settings

Use our built-in configuration tool to toggle specific categories of cookies.

Browser Controls

Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies via the "Privacy" or "Security" settings menu.

7. Data Retention & Security

Data collected through cookies is stored securely and retained only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy. We employ encryption and access controls to protect any identifiable information derived from tracking technologies.
