Last updated: September 12, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how EG Aluminum (operating as EG Pergola) ("EG Pergola", "we", "us" or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on https://egpergola.ca (the "Services"). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which describes how we handle personal information in accordance with PIPEDA and applicable provincial privacy laws, including Québec's Law 25.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your computer or mobile device when you visit. They allow the site to recognize your browser, keep items in your cart, remember your preferences and understand how the site is used. Similar technologies include pixels (tiny images or code snippets that record when a page is loaded or an action is taken), local storage and software development kits. In this policy we refer to all of these as "cookies".

Cookies may be "session" cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or "persistent" cookies, which remain on your device for a set period. They may be "first-party" (set by egpergola.ca) or "third-party" (set by another company whose services we use, such as Google or Meta).

2. Types of Cookies We Use

a. Essential cookies

These cookies are necessary for the store to work and cannot be switched off. They are set by Shopify, the platform that hosts our store, and enable the shopping cart, secure checkout, customer login, fraud prevention, load balancing and the storage of your cookie preferences. Without them you could not add products to your cart or complete a purchase.

b. Analytics cookies

We use Google Analytics, connected through Shopify's Google & YouTube app, to understand how visitors find and use our site: which pages are viewed, which products are popular, how long people stay and where visitors come from. Shopify also collects anonymized store analytics. This information helps us improve product pages, the configurator and the checkout process. Analytics data is aggregated and does not identify you by name.

c. Marketing cookies

Where enabled and where you have accepted marketing cookies, we use advertising pixels from Google Ads, Meta (Facebook and Instagram), TikTok and Pinterest. These cookies record that you visited our site or viewed a product, allow us to show you relevant EG Pergola ads on those platforms (retargeting), and measure whether our ads led to a quote request or purchase. The advertising platforms may combine this information with data they hold about you under their own privacy policies.

d. Functional cookies

These cookies remember choices you make so the site works better for you, such as your language, region or currency, products you have recently viewed, and whether you have already seen a notice. Judge.me, our product review provider, uses cookies to display reviews, prevent duplicate submissions and remember whether you have left a review.

3. Third-Party Cookies

The following third parties may set cookies on your device when you use the Services. Each is responsible for its own use of cookies and personal information:

Shopify – store hosting, cart, checkout, customer accounts, fraud prevention and store analytics. See Shopify's cookie policy.
Google – Google Analytics and Google Ads (including remarketing and conversion measurement). See how Google uses cookies.
Meta Platforms – Meta Pixel for Facebook and Instagram advertising. See Meta's cookie policy.
TikTok – TikTok Pixel for advertising measurement, where enabled. See TikTok's cookie policy.
Pinterest – Pinterest Tag for advertising measurement, where enabled. See Pinterest's cookie policy.
Judge.me – product reviews. See Judge.me's privacy policy.

Some of these providers process data on servers outside Canada, including in the United States. See our Privacy Policy for more information about transfers outside Canada.

4. How Shopify Uses Cookies

Because our store is hosted on Shopify, Shopify places its own cookies to enable secure checkout, authenticate customers, prevent fraud, analyze traffic and performance, and, where you have consented, support Shopify's advertising and audience features. Shopify's cookie banner and privacy settings are integrated with our store. To learn more, visit https://www.shopify.com/legal/cookies.

5. Your Consent

Essential cookies are set automatically because the store cannot operate without them. Analytics, marketing and functional cookies are set only after you accept them through the cookie banner shown on your first visit, or as otherwise permitted by law. For visitors in Québec, non-essential cookies that track your activity are disabled by default until you activate them, in accordance with Law 25. You can change your choice at any time as described below.

6. How to Manage Cookies

Store cookie preferences

You can review and change your cookie choices at any time by opening the cookie preferences link in the footer of our website or by clearing your cookies and revisiting the site to see the banner again.

Browser settings

Most browsers let you block all cookies, allow cookies only from certain sites, delete existing cookies or receive an alert when a cookie is set. Instructions are available in the help section of Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge and other browsers. If you block essential cookies, the cart and checkout will not work properly.

Google Analytics opt-out

To prevent Google Analytics from collecting data about your visits to this and other websites, you can install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

Advertising opt-outs

Google: https://adssettings.google.com
Meta (Facebook and Instagram): ad preferences in your account settings
TikTok and Pinterest: privacy and ad settings in your account
Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada: https://youradchoices.ca/

Opting out of advertising cookies does not mean you will see fewer ads, only that they will be less relevant to you. Some browsers support the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal; where we can recognize it, we treat it as a request to decline non-essential cookies for that browser.

7. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when we add or remove tools, or when legal requirements change. The current version is always available on this page with the "Last updated" date above.
