At Maple Bear Global (“MBGS”, “we,” “us,” or “our”), we value the privacy of who accesses and uses our Website (“Data Subject”, “User” or simply “you”), and are committed to protecting your personal information, as defined by Section 2 of PIPEDA.

This Cookie Policy (“Policy”) explains how we use Cookies in compliance with the applicable privacy and personal data protection legislation in force, including but not limited to, the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (“PIPEDA”) of Canada, the Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL) and the General Data Protection Regulation of the European Union (“General Data Protection Regulation” or “GDPR”), and other laws described in this Policy.

In this policy, we use the term “Cookies” to refer to cookies, web beacons and other similar technologies.

This Policy applies to all services and content available on our Website https://www.maplebear.ca/ (“Website”). For more information about our use of personal data, please read our Privacy Policy.

1. What are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They help us improve your user experience by remembering your preferences, enhancing functionality, and ensuring security.

We also use similar technologies like web beacons, pixels, and local storage — all referred to here as “Cookies.”

2. Does MBGS use Cookies?

Yes. MBGS uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to offer the best possible experience on our Website. By continuing to browse or use our services, you agree to the use of cookies as described in this Policy.

Please be aware that restricting cookies may impact on the functionality of the Maple Bear Global Schools’ website and could mean that key features do not work properly. We strongly recommend allowing cookies from this website so that we can provide you with a full service.

To help you make an informed decision, we have categorized the cookies used into four categories:

1. Essential cookies – these cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off. 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, logging in or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not then work. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.
2. Performance cookies – these cookies help us track how you use the website so that we can improve the information and experience provided to you. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies we will not know when you have visited our website and will not be able to monitor its performance.
3. Targeting cookies – these cookies may be set through our website 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. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.
4. 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 page.
5. What types of Cookies does MBGS use?
   We use two main types of cookies:

• Session Cookies: Temporary cookies that last only while your browser is open and are automatically deleted when you close your browser. These help us remember you during your current visit.
• Persistent Cookies: Remain on your device after your browser is closed, helping us remember your preferences or actions across multiple visits.
  
  
  

4. Why does MBGS use Cookies?

Cookies help us:

• Recognize and remember you when you return to our Website;
• Maintain security and verify your identity;
• Personalize your experience based on your preferences;

• Deliver relevant content and educational resources;
• Support learning and progress tracking in educational contexts.

Some cookies may also be used for advertising purposes, though we do not use cookies for advertising directed at children under the age of 13.

5. How can you control the Cookies?

Most web browsers allow you to manage your cookie preferences through their settings. However, if you choose to limit the use of cookies, you may not enjoy the full experience we have prepared for you, as certain personalized features will no longer be available.

You may also prevent customized settings from being saved, such as your username and password.
