This Cookie Policy explains how MAD Design USA uses cookies and similar technologies on this website and related online services when they are accessed from Canada.
MAD Design USA is the trading name used by EcoSmart Inc., a California corporation, for its North American operations, including sales into Canada. In this Cookie Policy, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to MAD Design USA and, where legally necessary, EcoSmart Inc.
This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions, which explain how we process personal information and how you may use this site.
2. What cookies and similar technologies are
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They are used to make websites work, to keep them secure, to remember your preferences, and to help website operators understand how their sites are used.
We may also use similar technologies, including local storage, session storage, pixels, web beacons, scripts and SDKs. In this Cookie Policy, these are referred to collectively as “cookies” unless a distinction is needed.
3. How we classify cookies
Cookies and similar technologies used on this site may include:
Strictly necessary cookies
These are essential for the operation of the site and related services, such as logging in, maintaining a shopping basket, processing transactions, remembering security settings or submitting forms. These cookies do not require consent because they are strictly necessary for the service you have requested.
Preference or functionality cookies
These remember choices you make, such as language, region or display preferences, and provide enhanced site features. These cookies are only used where you have given consent, unless a particular cookie is strictly necessary for a service you requested.
Analytics and performance cookies
These help us understand how visitors use the site, which pages are popular, and where technical issues arise. These cookies are only used where you have given consent.
Advertising and social media cookies
These may be set by advertising partners, social media platforms or similar providers to support advertising, campaign measurement, audience building, remarketing or content sharing. These cookies require consent before they are set.
4. Cookies used on this site
The specific cookies used on this site may change over time as our website, integrations and services change. We maintain a current cookie list through a cookie settings tool, cookie banner or similar mechanism.
For each cookie or similar technology, we aim to provide:
- the cookie name or identifier;
- its category;
- who sets it, whether us or a named third party;
- its purpose in plain language; and
- its retention period or duration.
Typical examples may include session cookies for account login, basket cookies, functionality cookies for storing preferences, analytics cookies for website measurement, and advertising or social media cookies where third-party tools or content are used.
5. How we obtain and manage consent
When you first visit the site, you will be shown a cookie banner that gives you a clear choice to accept all non-essential cookies, reject them, or manage your preferences by category.
Strictly necessary cookies remain active because they are required for the operation of the site or a service you request. All other cookies remain inactive until you give consent through a clear positive action — continuing to browse the site does not amount to valid consent.
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time through the cookie settings, privacy choices or similar link made available on the site.
We keep a record of your cookie consent choices, including when they were given, which categories were selected, and the version of the banner shown, so that we can demonstrate compliance if asked.
6. Third-party cookies and tracking
Some cookies and similar technologies on this site may be set by third parties whose services, tools or content are used on our site. This can include analytics providers, advertising networks, social media platforms and embedded media providers.
These third parties may collect information about your interactions with our site and, in some cases, about your activity across different sites or services over time. Where appropriate, more information about these practices and your choices will be provided in our Privacy Policy, cookie settings tool or other notices on the site.
7. Managing cookies in your browser
Most web browsers allow you to view, delete and block cookies. Browser settings can give you additional control over how cookies are handled on your device.
Blocking or deleting cookies may affect the functionality of some parts of the site. For that reason, browser controls are best used together with the cookie settings or privacy choices tools available on the site.
8. Cookies and personal information
Some information collected through cookies and similar technologies may constitute personal information under applicable Canadian privacy law, particularly where it can be linked to an identifiable individual or device.
Where cookies involve personal information, that information is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable law. Depending on your location and the applicable law, you may have rights relating to access, correction, withdrawal of consent or other privacy choices described in the Privacy Policy.
Because this site is operated from the United States, information collected through cookies and similar technologies may be transferred to, stored in or accessed from the United States or other jurisdictions. More information about cross-border processing is provided in our Privacy Policy.
9. Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our site, our service providers, applicable law or our data practices. When we do, we will update the relevant date shown at the top of the Policy.
Where appropriate, we may also provide additional notice, such as updating a banner, notice or settings tool on the site.
