Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, tablet, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website operators to make websites work more efficiently, to remember user preferences, and to provide analytical information about how a site is used.

In addition to cookies, we may use other similar tracking technologies, including:

• Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny transparent image files embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to track whether a page has been viewed or an email has been opened;
• Log Files: Records of activity on the Platform that are automatically created by the server and stored on our systems;
• Local Storage Objects (LSOs): Data stored in your browser's local storage rather than as a traditional cookie file;
• Scripts: Small pieces of JavaScript code that are used to collect data about how the Platform is used.

References to "cookies" in this Policy include all such similar technologies unless otherwise specified.

Who We Are

Alphait Ltd. is the data controller responsible for cookies set directly by the Platform. For cookies set by third-party services, those third parties act as independent data controllers. Please refer to Section 6 for further information on third-party cookies.

Why We Use Cookies

Alphait Ltd. uses cookies and similar tracking technologies for the following general purposes:

• Platform Functionality: To ensure the Platform operates correctly and core features are available to users;
• Performance and Analytics: To collect anonymized or aggregated data about how users interact with the Platform, enabling us to identify areas for improvement;
• User Preferences: To remember settings and preferences you may have selected to improve your experience on future visits;
• Security: To help identify and prevent fraudulent activity, unauthorized access, and other security threats;
• Compliance: To record and manage your cookie consent preferences in compliance with applicable Canadian privacy law.

Alphait Ltd. does not use cookies to collect sensitive personal health information, build personal profiles for targeted advertising, or sell cookie data to third parties.

Types of Cookies We Use

We classify the cookies used on PhysiotherapyNear.ca into four categories:

Detailed Cookie Reference

The table below provides a detailed reference of the specific cookies that may be set when you use PhysiotherapyNear.ca:

Note: The above table reflects cookies in use as of the Last Updated date of this Policy. The specific cookies deployed on the Platform may change over time. We will update this table when material changes occur.

Third-Party Cookies

Certain features of PhysiotherapyNear.ca rely on third-party services that may set their own cookies on your device. Alphait Ltd. does not control the cookies set by these third parties, and they are governed by the respective third party's own privacy and cookie policies.

We encourage you to review the privacy and cookie policies of any third-party service providers listed above. Alphait Ltd. is not responsible for the content or privacy practices of third-party services.

Cookie Duration — Session vs. Persistent

Cookies used on the Platform fall into one of two duration categories:

• Session Cookies: These cookies are temporary and are automatically deleted from your device when you close your browser. They are used to maintain your session and ensure the Platform functions correctly during a single visit. Session cookies do not collect information from your device and are erased when you end your browsing session.
• Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a defined period of time (as specified in the Detailed Cookie Reference in Section 5) or until you manually delete them. They are used to remember your preferences, recognize you on return visits, and provide consistent functionality across multiple sessions.

All persistent cookies used by Alphait Ltd. are set with a defined expiry period appropriate to their function. We do not set persistent cookies with unnecessarily long durations.

How to Manage and Disable Cookies

You have the right to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can manage your cookie preferences at any time through the following methods:

8.1 — Through Your Web Browser

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. The steps below outline how to access cookie settings in the most commonly used browsers:

8.2 — Opting Out of Google Analytics

You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This add-on prevents the Google Analytics JavaScript from sharing information about your visit with Google Analytics.

8.3 — Mobile Devices

If you are accessing the Platform on a mobile device, please refer to your device's operating system settings to manage cookie and tracking preferences. Most mobile browsers offer similar controls to desktop browsers within their settings menus.

Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not wish to be tracked across websites. At this time, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals in Canada or internationally.

PhysiotherapyNear.ca does not currently alter its data collection practices in response to DNT browser signals. However, you may use the cookie management methods described in Section 8 to limit tracking on this Platform.

We will continue to monitor developments in this area and update our practices if a recognized Canadian standard for DNT compliance is established.
