Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how GoHive Rideshare ("Company," "we," "us," and "our") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website at https://gohive-ride.ca ("Website"). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

In some cases we may use cookies to collect personal information, or that becomes personal information if we combine it with other information.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, GoHive Rideshare) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.

Why do we use cookies?

We use two kinds of cookies, and nothing else:

• Essential cookies — required for the Website to work and to remember your cookie choice. These cannot be switched off.
• Analytics cookies — Google Analytics (_ga, _ga_*), which count visits and show us which pages people find useful. These are off until you accept them. Nothing is set if you decline or ignore the banner.

We do not use cookies for advertising, profiling, or building a picture of you across other websites, and we do not sell any information collected through them.

How can I control cookies?

When you first visit the Website, a cookie banner asks whether you accept analytics cookies. Analytics stays switched off unless you accept — we use Google Consent Mode, so the analytics tags are blocked from writing cookies until you agree.

You can change your mind at any time using the Cookie settings link at the bottom of every page. Switching analytics off also deletes the Google Analytics cookies already stored on your device.

Declining analytics does not limit anything on this Website — every page works the same either way. You may also set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies.

How can I control cookies on my browser?

As the means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser to browser, you should visit your browser's help menu for more information. The following is information about how to manage cookies on the most popular browsers:

• Chrome
• Internet Explorer
• Firefox
• Safari
• Edge
• Opera

Do you serve targeted advertising?

No. GoHive does not serve advertising on this Website and sets no advertising or profiling cookies. Google's advertising signals are held in a denied state at all times, and we do not run remarketing, ad-personalisation, or cross-site tracking.

What about other tracking technologies?

Google Analytics may use a tracking pixel alongside its cookies to record a page view. It is covered by the same choice: if you decline analytics, it does not run. We do not use tracking pixels in email, and we do not use Flash cookies or Local Shared Objects.

How often will you update this Cookie Policy?

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please therefore revisit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.

The date at the top of this Cookie Policy indicates when it was last updated.
