🍪 COOKIE POLICY

Last updated: November 2, 2025

This Cookie Policy explains how Divergent North (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on divergentnorth.ca. It also describes how you can manage or remove them if you wish.

We keep this simple: we use cookies to make the website work smoothly, understand which pages are most useful, and keep things secure. We do not use cookies for advertising or tracking across other sites.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device. They help websites remember information about your visit—like keeping you logged in, saving your preferences, or helping us measure which pages people read most often.

Some cookies are essential for a website to work. Others are optional and help with things like analytics or embedded content (for example, a YouTube video).

2. How we use cookies

We use only a small number of cookies, primarily for:

  • Essential functions: to keep the site secure and display properly on your device.

  • Performance and analytics: to understand which pages are visited most and how people find the site (through Squarespace’s built-in analytics).

  • Embedded content: if you view a YouTube video or other embedded media, that service may place its own cookies. These are controlled by the third-party platform and not by Divergent North.

We do not use marketing, advertising, or remarketing cookies.

3. Managing cookies

You can manage or delete cookies any time through your browser settings.

  • To learn how, visit your browser’s help page (for example: Chrome > Settings > Privacy > Cookies).

  • If you’d like us to reset any cookie consent on this site, email hello@divergentnorth.ca.

Disabling cookies will not stop you from using the site, but some pages may display slightly differently.

4. Data storage and location

All website data and cookies are hosted on servers located in Canada.
No cookie or analytics information is transferred outside Canadian jurisdiction.

5. Accessibility and UDL commitment

We design our website with accessibility and neurodivergent-friendly principles in mind: plain language, low visual clutter, and minimal pop-ups.
If you require this policy in an alternative format (large print, plain text, or audio), contact hello@divergentnorth.ca and we’ll provide it.

6. Updates

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect new tools or legal requirements. The “last updated” date above shows the most recent version. Major changes will be noted on the site.

TL;DR Summary

  • We use only essential and simple analytics cookies.

  • You can manage or delete cookies through your browser.

  • All data stays in Canada.

  • No advertising or cross-site tracking cookies are used.

  • Accessible versions available on request.
