Cookie Policy

Effective Date: March 10, 2026 · Last Updated: March 10, 2026 · Governing Law: Province of British Columbia, Canada

What Is a Cookie?

A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your browser or device when you visit. Cookies serve different purposes — some keep you logged in, some remember your preferences, and some help website owners understand how their site is being used. Cookies do not typically contain your name or personal information on their own. They are generally identified by a randomly generated ID number.

Cookies We Use

The Terrastone website uses a minimal set of cookies. We do not use advertising cookies, social media tracking pixels, retargeting cookies, or any cross-site tracking technologies.

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our Site — which pages are most visited, where visitors come from (by general region, not precise location), and how long visits last. This helps us improve the Site over time. Google Analytics data is aggregated and anonymized and does not identify you as an individual.

Google Analytics places three cookies on your browser: ga, which assigns a unique anonymous ID to distinguish your browser from other visitors and calculates visitor counts and session statistics (kept for 2 years); gid, which distinguishes users for session tracking and helps identify repeat visits within a 24-hour window (kept for 24 hours); and _gat, which throttles the request rate to Google's servers to prevent overloading their data collection endpoints (kept for 1 minute).

Our web server may also set a temporary session cookie to maintain your browsing session, such as remembering form data while you navigate the Site. This cookie contains no personal information and is automatically deleted when you close your browser.

We do not use advertising or retargeting cookies, social media tracking cookies, cross-site tracking or fingerprinting technologies, cookies that store your personal information, or any cookies from data brokers or third-party ad networks.

Google Analytics & Your Data

Google Analytics is operated by Google LLC. When you visit our Site, Google Analytics collects anonymized data about your visit and sends it to Google's servers, which may be located outside Canada. Terrastone has enabled IP anonymization in Google Analytics so that your full IP address is never stored by Google in connection with our property. For more information on how Google processes analytics data, see Google's Privacy Policy at policies.google.com/privacy.

How to Control or Opt Out of Cookies

You have several options for controlling cookies. Note that disabling certain cookies may affect how the Site functions.

To opt out of Google Analytics specifically, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-On, available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This prevents data from being sent to Google Analytics on all sites you visit.

You can also control cookies through your browser settings. In Chrome, go to Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data. In Firefox, go to Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data. In Safari, go to Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data. In Edge, go to Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data. Blocking all cookies will prevent Google Analytics from tracking your visit and may also affect basic site functionality such as form session handling.

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. At this time, our Site does not respond to DNT signals differently from other requests, as there is no industry-standard protocol for doing so. Google Analytics does not alter its behaviour based on DNT signals.

Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy if we add new features to the Site that require different cookies, or if laws or industry standards change. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date. Continued use of the Site after any change constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
