Cookies Policy
Last Updated: September 29, 2026
This Cookies Policy explains how dailypulsepo.com uses cookies and similar technologies on our website dedicated to sharing Stories From The Street through photography, people and memorable places. As a non-commercial informational site based in Canada, we operate in accordance with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and related provincial privacy laws. This policy details the types of cookies employed, their purposes, and the choices available to visitors.
What Cookies and Similar Technologies Are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember actions and preferences over time. Similar technologies include web beacons, pixels and local storage. These tools can store or access information such as your browser type, device identifiers, pages visited, and interaction patterns without necessarily collecting personal details.
Why the Site Uses Cookies
dailypulsepo.com employs cookies to ensure the website functions reliably, to understand how visitors engage with travel stories presented through images and narratives, and to maintain basic performance standards. Because the site is non-commercial and informational, cookies help deliver content consistently without unnecessary tracking.
Cookie Categories in Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies enable core functions such as page navigation, form submissions on the Contacts page, and security features. Without them the site cannot operate properly.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies remember preferences like language settings or display options for photo galleries, improving usability during a single visit or across sessions.
Analytics or Performance Cookies
These measure visitor interactions with stories and photography to identify popular content and improve site structure. They operate in aggregated form.
Advertising or Targeting Cookies
The site does not deploy advertising cookies given its non-commercial nature.
Social-Media Cookies
No social-media sharing plugins are integrated, so no related cookies are placed.
First-Party Versus Third-Party Cookies
First-party cookies originate directly from dailypulsepo.com and support essential site operations. Third-party cookies may come from service providers such as hosting or analytics platforms that assist with performance monitoring. All third-party uses remain limited to necessary operational support.
Session Versus Persistent Cookies
Session cookies exist only while the browser is open and are deleted upon closing. Persistent cookies remain on the device for a defined period, typically up to twenty-four months, to retain preferences or analytics data across visits. Retention periods are set to the minimum required for each purpose.
Data Handled and Purpose of Each Category
Necessary cookies handle technical identifiers and session tokens to enable form submissions and navigation. Functional cookies store preference flags for content display. Analytics cookies collect aggregated page-view counts and referral paths to refine story presentation. No personal identifiers are processed beyond what is strictly needed for these functions.
Consent or Exemption Basis Under Canadian Law
Under PIPEDA, strictly necessary cookies are exempt from consent requirements because they are essential for service delivery. Functional, analytics and other non-essential cookies rely on implied or express consent obtained through the site-wide cookie banner. Visitors may withdraw consent at any time without affecting access to core content.
Cookie Providers and Durations
- Essential session identifier: provider dailypulsepo.com, category necessary, duration session only.
- Preference storage: provider dailypulsepo.com, category functional, duration twelve months.
- Aggregated analytics token: provider third-party analytics service, category performance, duration twenty-four months.
How the Consent Manager Works
The cookie banner presented on first visit allows selection of cookie categories. Choices are recorded and can be revised by revisiting the banner controls or clearing browser data. Withdrawing consent stops non-essential cookies from future placements while preserving site functionality.
Browser-Level Controls and Consequences
Most browsers permit blocking or deleting cookies through settings menus. Disabling necessary cookies may prevent use of the contact form or proper page loading. Disabling analytics cookies reduces our ability to improve content delivery but does not restrict access to stories and photography.
International Transfers
Some service providers may process data outside Canada. Such transfers occur under contractual safeguards consistent with PIPEDA. For complete details on data handling please refer to the Privacy Policy available on this site.
Policy Changes and Contact Route
