Last Updated: June, 17, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which cookies we use on our website (the "Website"), why we use them, the legal basis for each category of cookies, and how you can control your cookie preferences. This Policy forms part of our Privacy Policy and should be read alongside it.
Cookies are small text files that a website placed on your computer or device when you visit it. They allow the Website to recognize your device on subsequent visits, to remember your preferences, and to facilitate the functions described below. Cookies can also be used to record how you navigate a website and to analyze usage patterns.
In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies such as pixel tags (web beacons), local storage (HTML5), and session storage. References to "cookies" in this Policy include all such technologies unless otherwise stated.
Cookies help us recognize repeat users and allow us to track web usage behavior. Aggregated cookie data helps us enhance our products and services. For example, the data helps us learn which content is popular. Most importantly, Cookies are used for the functionality of the website such as remembering your login status and user preferences. These cookies will enable us to customize the materials we provide to you based on your online interests and preferences. Cookies may also assist with our promotional, event, contest and marketing efforts. (including behavioral advertising)
We use both first-party cookies as well as third-party cookies to enhance your online experience by allowing us to display relevant content and advertising. First party cookies are placed on a website directly by the owner of the site, in this case,Stake Canada Ltd. Third party cookies are placed on a website by third party providers (for example, by companies that provide advertising tracking or web analytics services) and by advertisers on the website. This data collection takes place on our sites, apps and emails, and on third party websites and apps.

Performance
These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies we will not know when you have visited our site, and will not be able to monitor its performance.

They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not then work. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.
How to manage your cookie preferences
Targeting
These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They do not store directly personal information, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.
Our performance, functionality and targeting Cookies are not strictly necessary for the website to work but will provide you with a better browsing experience. You can block these Cookies, but if you do this, you may have to manually adjust some preferences every time you visit our website and some features of the site may not work as intended.
Before using our website, you will be presented with a cookie banner where you can choose to 'allow all cookies', 'reject all' or 'adjust your preferences' for a more tailored approach to cookie management.
If you do consent to the use of non-essential cookies, you can customize and withdraw your consent at any time (except concerning strictly necessary cookies) in our Cookies Preference Center where you can specify which cookies and tracking technologies you consent to.
You can also manage your cookie preferences by clicking on the Cookie Settings link located in the website footer.
For cookies and similar technologies that are classified as strictly necessary, due to the essential nature of such technologies in our application, you will not be able to disable them in our Preference Center. The banner and Preference center has the objective of providing you with notice and transparency about our usage of strictly necessary cookies or similar technologies used in order to provide the service requested.
