This website uses cookies, which are little files that are downloaded to your computer, just like practically all professional websites do. When you visit a website, text files called cookies are saved on your computer, mobile device, etc. Usually, they are made up of numbers and characters. Cookies are needed in order for you to utilize every feature of this website. The website and all of its features cannot be used without these cookies. We also use performance optimization cookies to enhance your online experience and analytic cookies to better understand our website visitors and our marketing, product, and service offerings.
This page explains what data they collect, how we use it, and why we occasionally need to keep these cookies active. We’ll also explain how to stop these cookies from being saved, though doing so might make some website features “break” or perform less well. If, as required by applicable law, you have checked the corresponding box in the Cookie Information Message that appears when you first visit our website, then we will only use performance and analysis cookies with your consent. If the relevant cookie is rejected or deleted, this message might occasionally reappear (see “Cookie Settings,” below).
You can turn off cookies in your browser’s settings. Please be advised that this may also have an impact on the strictly necessary cookies, which are essential to this website’s operation. As such, if you disable (all) cookies, some features of the website might not work as intended. Moreover, we couldn’t improve your online experience without cookies. For instance, each time you see the Cookie Information Message, you will be asked to select the language.

How One Uses Cookies
There are many reasons why we use cookies, some of which are outlined below. Unfortunately, most of the time, it is not possible to disable cookies on this website without also completely blocking all of the features and functionality that they offer using industry-standard methods. Even if you are unsure if cookies are necessary for a service you use, it is advised that you keep them enabled on all of your devices.
How we utilize tracking technologies and cookies
When talking about cookies and tracking technologies, TopCare HVAC of Mississauga brings up the following points:
Internet Beacons
We employ web beacons as a tool in our subscriber emails to improve content management. Tiny, individually recognizable images called web beacons are used to monitor an online user’s activity. Web beacons are invisible online elements that are embedded on websites, as opposed to cookies, which are kept on a user’s hard drive. They help us assess the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns by helping us identify which recipients of our HTML-based emails have clicked through.
Pixels
The code that is installed on your computer to cause a cookie to be set is called a pixel. We occasionally employ this technique to provide you with more pertinent messages.
Log Files
We use log files to document activities that take place on our websites. This could include a number of different things, like the type, content, or timing of any transactions you make with your device. We can examine activities on our websites because of these audit trails.
How and why cookies and tracking technologies are used
Depending on how they are set up, cookies come in two different varieties:
Cookies for Sessions
Are temporarily kept in your computer’s RAM when you visit websites, and they are deleted when your browser is closed.
Persistent Cookies
Stored on your computer for a set period of time and used to determine if we have already interacted with it.
Our websites may use cookies in one of two ways:
1st Party Cookies
Cookies that are established by the website domain (or one of its subdomains).
3rd Party Cookies
Cookies that come from a different domain on the internet. (For instance, by an outside web service or by one of our primary technology partners).
Classification of Cookies
The following categories apply to cookies that we and our primary technology partners have placed on the website:
Category 1: Cookies that are strictly necessary
These cookies are necessary because they let you navigate a website and take advantage of its features, like accessing secure areas. It would be impossible to provide you with the services you have requested (like access to areas that are restricted) without these cookies. These cookies don’t collect any personal data about you that could be used for marketing or tracking your online activities.
Category 2: Performance cookies
These cookies gather data about how you use the website, such as the pages you visit most regularly and the error messages you encounter on particular pages. These cookies do not collect any personally identifiable information. These cookies only gather anonymous data to enhance the functionality of our website.

Category 3: Functionality cookies
A website can remember your preferences (such as your user name, language, or location) and adapt its features and content to your needs with the use of these cookies.

In addition, they could be used to provide services that users have asked for, like viewing a video or commenting on a blog. In order to ensure that all of our services and communications are relevant to you, these cookies may be used. The information these cookies collect does not allow for the tracking of your online browsing activity on other websites. Without these cookies, a website cannot remember your previous preferences or alter how you browse.
Category 4: Targeting and advertising cookies
We use these to display ads on our websites that we believe are more relevant to you. Without these cookies, the online adverts you see will be less customized to your tastes and needs. Furthermore, we allow specific advertising partners to set cookies specifically so they can monitor the success of their campaigns.
