Cookies serve various purposes, from facilitating essential website functions to analyzing how our users interact with our site.
Types of Cookies We Use
Our website, Barrie Web Design, uses different categories of cookies, each serving a specific function:

Performance Cookies: These collect information about how visitors use a website, for instance, which pages visitors go to most often, and if they get error messages from web pages. These cookies do not collect information that identifies a visitor; all information collected is aggregated and therefore anonymous. They are used only to improve the performance of the website.
-
Functionality Cookies: These allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. These cookies can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts, and other parts of web pages that you can customize.
-
Targeting/Advertising Cookies: These are used to deliver content that is more relevant to you and your interests. They may be used to deliver our ads to visitors that have previously visited the site or to target advertisements on this and other websites based on your activities, such as pages visited and items purchased.
