Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognize your device, store certain information about your preferences or past actions, and help improve your experience.

In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies such as pixels, tags, scripts, and local storage. These technologies work together to help us understand how the Site is used, improve performance, and support certain features.

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies on the Site for several purposes, including to:

• Help the Site function properly and securely;
• Remember certain choices or preferences you make;
• Understand how visitors use the Site (which pages are most visited, how people navigate, etc.);
• Measure and improve the performance and user experience of the Site; and
• Support limited marketing, analytics, or traffic attribution efforts.

We do not use cookies to sell cannabis products, process orders, or store payment card information. THC City Guides is an informational guide only.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the Site to function correctly and securely. They are typically set in response to actions you take, such as navigating the Site, loading pages, or managing basic security.

Without these cookies, some parts of the Site may not work as intended.

3.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors use the Site. They provide aggregated information such as:

• Which pages are most frequently visited;
• How long visitors stay on certain pages;
• How visitors arrived at the Site (for example, from search or a link);
• General information about devices and browsers.

We use this information to improve the Site’s layout, content, and overall experience. Where required by law, we will obtain any necessary consent before using analytics cookies.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies remember choices you make—such as language settings, location preferences, or form inputs— so we can provide a more tailored experience. If you disable these cookies, some features may be less convenient or may not function as smoothly.

3.4 Targeting or Advertising Cookies

From time to time, we may use cookies that support basic advertising or traffic attribution, such as understanding which campaigns or sources led visitors to the Site. If we use these cookies, they are generally designed to be privacy-conscious and focused on aggregated insights rather than tracking individual behavior across unrelated sites.

If we integrate third-party advertising or tracking tools, we will update this Policy and, where required, obtain your consent in accordance with applicable law.

4. First-Party and Third-Party Cookies

Cookies on the Site may be set by:

• First-party cookies: placed directly by THC City Guides; and
• Third-party cookies: placed by service providers that assist us with hosting, analytics, security, or other functions.

Third-party service providers may use their own cookies and technologies to collect information about your online activities over time and across different websites, in accordance with their own privacy and cookie policies. We do not control third-party cookies once they are set.

5. Examples of Tools and Services We May Use

Depending on the configuration of the Site at any given time, we may use tools and services such as:

• Website hosting and security services;
• Analytics providers (for example, website traffic and behavior analytics);
• Form, contact, or email delivery tools.

These tools may set cookies or use similar technologies to provide their services. For details about how those providers handle data and cookies, please refer to their respective privacy and cookie policies.

6. Your Choices and How to Manage Cookies

You have several options for controlling or limiting how cookies are used on the Site:

6.1 Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to:

• View which cookies are stored on your device;
• Delete some or all cookies;
• Block cookies from specific sites; and
• Block third-party cookies.

Instructions for managing cookies can usually be found in your browser’s “Help,” “Settings,” or “Privacy” sections.

6.2 Device Settings

Mobile devices may include settings that allow you to limit tracking or reset advertising identifiers. The exact options depend on your device and operating system.

6.3 Impact of Disabling Cookies

If you choose to block or delete cookies, some features of the Site may not work properly, and your browsing experience may be less smooth or personalized.

7. “Do Not Track” Signals

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) setting, which sends a signal to websites that you do not wish to be tracked. There is currently no universal standard governing how websites should respond to DNT signals, and the Site does not respond to all DNT signals at this time.

You can use the cookie and privacy controls described in this Policy to manage how cookies and similar technologies are used on the Site.

8. Local Laws and International Considerations

Cookie and tracking rules vary by jurisdiction. Depending on where you are located, you may have specific rights or requirements related to cookie consent, opt-outs, or disclosures. We strive to configure our use of cookies in a way that is consistent with applicable law and best practices.

If you believe our use of cookies does not align with local regulations in your region, please contact us using the information below so we can review and address your concern.

9. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time—for example, if we change the cookies we use, add new tools or integrations, or if applicable laws change. When we make material changes, we will update the “Effective Date” at the top of this page and may provide additional notice where appropriate.

Your continued use of the Site after any changes become effective means that you accept the updated Policy, subject to any applicable legal requirements.
