A more comprehensive summary of our privacy policies generally is available from us on request.

TERMINOLOGY

Personal information means information about an identifiable individual. This does not include information of an aggregate or anonymous nature where a specific individual or individuals cannot be identified, nor does it include business contact information used to contact an individual in their capacity as an employee or official of an organization.

COOKIES

Like most websites, we place small bits of data called cookies onto your computer or device. Cookies are small data files that websites save to your computer’s hard disk or to your browser’s cache or memory. Cookies help your browser navigate our Website but the cookies themselves cannot collect any information or other files stored on your computer or device. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer or device. Cookies are uniquely assigned to your computer or device and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

Through the use of cookies, CAPP collects anonymous information about your actions when you navigate or view this Website. No personally identifiable information is collected from you or any visitor. CAPP uses both session cookies and persistent cookies. Session cookies are used only for the period of your specific visit to our Website. Persistent cookies remain available to your browser until deleted by your browser or their expiry date, and allow our Website, without identifying you personally, to recognize you as a returning visitor.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can modify your browser setting to decline cookies or to notify you when a cookie is being placed on your computer. If you choose to decline cookies, you will still be able to visit our Website but some of the functions may not work correctly or at all.

Even with our use of cookies, simply visiting our Website does not result in our collecting any personal information from you.

Privacy
and this Website

You should be aware that most web servers do collect some information about visitors, such as the browser software and version you are using, your operating system, and your “IP” or Internet address, which may identify your Internet Service Provider, or general geographic area or location.

Online
Behavioral Advertising

CAPP works with trusted third parties to manage our advertising on other websites. These third parties use cookies and web beacons to recognize your computer each time participating websites display one of our ads, which helps us select and display targeted ads that may be of interest to you.

CAPP uses remarketing to serve adds to people who have previously visited this Website in an attempt to persuade them to return to this Website to drive ongoing engagement with CAPP and our campaign content. On some pages of our site, we may allow third party advertising partners to set web tracking tools to collect anonymous, non-personally identifiable information regarding your activities on those pages, such as your IP address, page(s) visited, time of day, and similar information. We may also share such information we have collected with third party advertising partners, who may use this information (and similar information collected from other websites) for the purposes of delivering future targeted advertisements to you when you visit other (non-CAPP) sites within their networks. This practice is commonly referred to as “interest-based advertising” or “online behavioural advertising”.
