Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies 416industrial.com uses, why, and how you can control them. The short version: we don’t use cookies for tracking, advertising, or analytics.

1. We Are Cookieless by Design

416industrial.com does not set advertising, retargeting, or cross-site tracking cookies. We do not:

• Use Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, or similar tracker cookies
• Set persistent identifiers for ad-tech retargeting
• Share visitor data with advertising networks
• Embed social media platform pixels (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, TikTok, etc.)
• Use session replay or heat-mapping tools (Hotjar, Mouseflow, FullStory, etc.)

2. Strictly Necessary Functionality

Our website may use minimal technical mechanisms required for the site to function:

• Form submission state — temporary in-memory state for our quote wizard and calculators (no cookies; cleared on page close)
• Honeypot anti-bot fields — hidden form elements that block spam (no cookies)
• Language preference — if you toggle between English and French, your choice may be stored locally on your device using browser storage (sessionStorage); this is not transmitted to us

None of the above require your consent under Canadian or EU consent frameworks.

3. Analytics — Plausible (Cookieless)

We use Plausible Analytics — a privacy-friendly, cookieless web analytics service hosted in the European Union. Plausible:

• Does not set cookies on your device
• Does not use persistent identifiers, fingerprinting, or cross-site tracking
• Collects only aggregate, de-identified metrics (page views, country, device type, referring page)
• Complies with GDPR, PECR, CCPA, and PIPEDA without requiring a consent banner

If you still prefer to opt out, you can install a privacy-focused browser extension such as uBlock Origin or Privacy Badger, or set your browser’s “Do Not Track” preference (Plausible respects DNT).

4. If Cookies Are Ever Added

If we ever add functionality that requires cookies (for example, a future logged-in customer portal), this Cookie Policy will be updated and you will be notified before the new cookies are set. We will also implement appropriate consent mechanisms in line with PIPEDA and CASL.

5. How to Control Cookies in Your Browser

Even though we don’t set tracking cookies, you can control cookies generally through your browser settings:

• Google Chrome
• Mozilla Firefox
• Safari
• Microsoft Edge
