| Category of cookies | The Use of these Cookies |
| Strictly necessary cookies | These cookies are vital to the proper functioning of our Website and cannot be disabled in our systems. They are generally set only in response to actions you take, such as requests for services. Strictly necessary cookies are generally connection cookies, session identification cookies, language preference cookies and security cookies. |

Given that they are intended to enhance and personalize your experience on our Website, we use cookies and other tracking technologies to collect information about your preferences and interests so that we can deliver ads and marketing campaigns tailored to your interests.
Without interest-based advertising, you would still be subject to ads as you browse the web. However, these ads would not be personalized to your preferences and interests. In simpler terms, they would be less relevant to you and less effective for us.
Here are some examples of how we use interest-based advertising:
Facebook and Meta Platforms – We use the Facebook tracking pixel to identify visitors for personalized advertising purposes. These cookies allow us to serve relevant ads about our products to repeat visitors on our Website and to those who may re-engage with our Website. This way, you will be able to see advertisements about products that interest you and you won’t forget an item in your shopping cart. In Facebook advertising campaigns, the use of advanced auto-matching allows Facebook to collect hashed customer data (e.g., email addresses) on our Website during processes such as checkout, account opening or registration. Hashing is the process used by Facebook to transform data for security purposes. Facebook can then use the hashed identifiers to better match people who visit our website with those on Facebook, which can lead to more targeted suggestions from our Facebook campaigns and expand our personalized audiences. The Facebook pixel uses a secure “https” connection, so that all data transmitted by Décors Véronneau reaches Facebook’s servers securely. This Policy describes the information Meta Platforms uses to process and operate Facebook, Messenger, Instagram, and other features and products offered by Meta Platforms Inc.
API Conversion Meta – We use Meta’s API, which is designed to comply with privacy regulations while optimizing ad personalization. By relying on first-party data and avoiding third-party cookies, it helps businesses adhere to current standards, including those related to iOS 14 updates and data protection laws.
Additionally, it enables the sharing of anonymized and hashed data, ensuring user privacy while maintaining effective ad targeting.
Google Ads – We use Google Ads and Google DoubleClick to serve ads based on your browsing history and search queries. We also use Google AdSense to test the effectiveness of advertising across multiple channels. In addition, we use the Remarketing feature of Google Ads to show website users on other websites in the Google Ads network (e.g., in Google Search or on YouTube, “Google Ads” or on other websites) ad displays based on their interests. To do this, we analyze how you interact as a user of our Website so that we can show you ads directed to other websites, even after you have visited our website. To enable us to perform this analysis, Google stores cookies on your device when you visit Google Services or websites in the Google Display Network. You can block the display of certain ads by following the steps on this page.
We may also use the following Google Analytics advertising features:
– Remarketing with Google Analytics;
– Reports on impressions on the Google Display Network;
– Demographic and interest reports from Google Analytics;
– Integrated Services that require Google Analytics to collect data for advertising purposes, including collecting data via advertising cookies and identifiers.
We use Google’s advanced conversion tracking to receive internal customer data such as an email address, first and last name, mailing address, or phone number. This data may be stored in our conversion tracking tags, hashed, sent to Google in hashed form, and then used to help improve our conversion measurement in our online ads.

Hotjar uses cookies and other technologies to collect data about the behavior of our users and their devices.
