Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the site operators. Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting (first-party cookies) or by third-party services that provide content or functionality on the page.

How We Use Cookies

Homard Cloud uses cookies to ensure the proper functioning of our platform, to keep you signed in, to remember your preferences such as language settings, and — only with your explicit consent — to analyze how our service is used so we can improve it. We categorize our cookies into three types: strictly necessary, analytics, and marketing.

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the operation of our platform. They cannot be disabled because the service would not function properly without them. They do not require your consent under Quebec Law 25. Strictly necessary cookies include:

  • Session and authentication cookies — to keep you securely signed in and maintain your session across pages
  • CSRF protection cookies — to protect your account against cross-site request forgery attacks
  • Locale preference cookie — to remember your chosen language (English, French, Japanese, or Chinese) across visits

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our platform by collecting information anonymously. These cookies are only activated after you have given your explicit opt-in consent. They allow us to measure:

  • Page views and navigation patterns — to understand which features are most useful and where users encounter difficulties
  • Usage patterns and session duration — to identify performance issues and improve the overall user experience

Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies may be used to deliver advertisements that are relevant to you and your interests. These cookies are only placed on your device if you explicitly opt in through our cookie consent banner. We do not currently use marketing cookies, but we reserve the right to introduce them in the future. If we do, they will always require your prior consent before being activated.

Your Consent

In compliance with Quebec's Law 25 (Act to modernize legislative provisions as regards the protection of personal information), non-essential cookies require your explicit opt-in consent before they are placed on your device. When you first visit our platform, a cookie consent banner will appear, allowing you to accept or decline each category of non-essential cookies individually. No non-essential cookies are activated by default, and no checkboxes are pre-selected. You may use our platform without consenting to non-essential cookies — only strictly necessary cookies will be used in that case.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You can change your cookie preferences at any time through our cookie consent banner, which is accessible from the footer of every page. You may also manage cookies through your browser settings by deleting existing cookies or configuring your browser to block certain types of cookies. Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the platform from functioning correctly.

Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on our platform are set by third-party services that we use to provide certain features. Stripe, our payment processor, may set cookies when you interact with payment forms to process transactions securely and prevent fraud. If analytics cookies are enabled with your consent, third-party analytics providers may also set cookies. These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies, and we encourage you to review them.

Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. When we make significant changes, we will notify you by updating the date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, by displaying a notice on our platform. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
