This Cookies Policy explains how SUOOG™ ("we") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit suoog.ca or use any related services. It works alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They let the site remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, accessibility settings) so you don’t have to re-enter them each time. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixel tags — we use "cookies" throughout this policy to refer to all of them.
SUOOG uses cookies for a narrow set of functional and analytics purposes. We do not serve third-party advertising, we do not use social-media tracking pixels, and we never sell your cookie data.

| Functional | Remember preferences (recently viewed listings, browse filters). | SUOOG state cookies + sessionStorage. | Session (cleared when you close the tab). |

Some browsers transmit a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. Because no single industry standard exists for DNT, SUOOG does not currently respond to DNT signals. You can limit tracking at any time by blocking or deleting cookies with the controls above and by opting out of Google ad personalization at adssettings.google.com.
We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the technologies we use or applicable law. Any material change will be posted on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date.
