1. Introduction

Welcome to Household Thread. This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website dedicated to Canadian wedding financial planning. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

In accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the Data Protection Act 2018, and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) 2003, we are committed to being transparent about the data we collect and how it is used.

2. What are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Household Thread) are called "first-party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies". Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics).

3. Why do we use Cookies?

We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Website to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Online Properties. Third parties serve cookies through our Website for advertising, analytics, and other purposes.

5. Legal Basis for Processing

Under UK law, we require your consent to use cookies, except for those that are "strictly necessary" for the operation of the website. When you first visit our site, you are presented with a cookie banner that allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies.

If you reside in the UK or the European Economic Area (EEA), the legal basis for our use of analytical and marketing cookies is your explicit consent. You have the right to withdraw this consent at any time.

6. How Can I Control Cookies?

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie rights by setting your preferences in the Cookie Consent Manager. The Cookie Consent Manager allows you to select which categories of cookies you accept or reject.

You can also set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website, though your access to some functionality and areas of our website may be restricted. As the means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser to browser, you should visit your browser's help menu for more information.

7. International Data Transfers

Household Thread may transfer data collected via cookies to servers located outside the UK or the EEA, specifically to Canada and the USA. Where we do so, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, such as the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework or Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).
