Website Cookie Policy
Effective Date: August 2026
This Cookie Policy applies to the Mount Zion Early Learning Centre website at mountzionelc.ca. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the website function properly (for example, by remembering that you are logged in).
Cookies We Use
Our website uses only essential cookies. These are strictly necessary for the website to function. We do not use any optional, tracking, or advertising cookies.
Essential Cookies
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| mtzion_sess | Maintains your browsing session | Session (deleted when browser is closed) | Essential |
| mtzion_auth | Remembers your login after authentication | Up to 30 days | Essential |
These cookies are set by our content management system and are required for:
- Logging into the parent portal (when available)
- Securing form submissions against cross-site request forgery (CSRF)
- Maintaining page navigation state
We do NOT use:
- Analytics cookies (e.g., Google Analytics)
- Advertising or marketing cookies
- Third-party tracking cookies
- Social media cookies or tracking pixels
- Behavioural profiling cookies
- Any cookies that follow you across websites
No Cookie Consent Banner
Because we use only essential cookies necessary for the website to function, no cookie consent banner is displayed on our site. Canadian privacy law (PIPEDA) does not require consent for cookies that are essential to website operation.
If we ever introduce non-essential cookies, we will update this policy and provide a clear consent mechanism before enabling them.
Managing Cookies
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you:
- View stored cookies
- Delete some or all cookies
- Block cookies from specific or all websites
- Be notified when a cookie is being set
Note that blocking essential cookies may affect website functionality, particularly login and form features.
Third-Party Websites
Our website may contain links to external websites (centralized wait list, parent portal, social media sites, community resources, etc.). These sites may set their own cookies, which are outside our control. We recommend reviewing their cookie and privacy policies.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
