Cookies and Tracking

Canadian privacy law asks for meaningful consent, not for a particular pop-up. We have chosen to state plainly what we do, here, rather than put a barrier in front of the site that most people click through without reading.

If you would rather we did not track your visit at all, section 5 gives you the switches, and you can email info@tavial.ca and we will exclude you from advertising measurement.

• NEXT_LOCALE — remembers whether you are reading the site in English or French. About a year.
• Login session (Supabase) — set only if you sign in to your account. Keeps you signed in. Cleared when you sign out.
• Booking form contents— stored in your browser’s session storage, not a cookie, so that refreshing the page does not lose what you typed. This includes your name, address, phone, email and access notes while you are filling the form in. It is deleted when you close the tab, and it never leaves your device until you press Confirm.
• Postal code lookup — remembers the postal code you checked, for 7 days, so you do not have to type it again.

These cannot be switched off without breaking the site.

• Vercel Web Analytics — page counts with no cookie and no cross-site tracking.
• Google Analytics 4 (_ga, _ga_*) — traffic, pages viewed, and where people abandon the booking form. Up to two years.

• tavial_attr — our own cookie. Records how you arrived (campaign tags, Google or Meta click identifiers, the page you landed on) so that a booking can be attributed to the ad that produced it. 90 days.
• Meta Pixel (_fbp, _fbc) — measures ad performance and builds remarketing audiences.
• Google Ads (_gcl_*) — measures which ads lead to bookings.

When a booking completes, a one-way hashed version of your email and phone number may be sent to Google and Meta so they can match the booking to an ad click. Your IP address and browser identifiers are sent unhashed. Nothing about the property or the service is sent.

• Block cookies for this site in your browser settings, or browse in a private window. Everything in sections 3 and 4 stops.
• Install the Google Analytics opt-out add-on.
• Adjust Google ad settings and Meta ad preferences.
• Reset or limit your device’s advertising identifier in iOS or Android settings.
• Any ad blocker stops the Meta Pixel and Google tags outright.
• Email info@tavial.ca and ask to be excluded — we will do it by hand.

Blocking any of this has no effect on your booking, your price, or the service you get.

If you are in Quebec, the European Union or the United Kingdom, stricter opt-in rules may apply to you than the ones we operate under. Email info@tavial.ca and we will honour an opt-out request without argument.
