This Cookie Policy explains how Budget Basket (Budget Basket Canada Limited) uses cookies on our website. We use cookies to improve your browsing experience, understand how you interact with our content, and deliver personalized features. By continuing to use our site, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this policy.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They contain information about your browsing activity and preferences, allowing websites to recognize you on return visits. Cookies are widely used across the internet to enhance user experience, track website performance, and provide targeted content.

There are two main categories: session cookies, which expire when you close your browser, and persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a set period. We use both types to ensure our website functions properly and meets your needs. Cookies themselves are not harmful—they cannot execute code or deliver viruses—but they do help us understand your behavior and optimize our services.

Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies: These cookies are necessary for our website to function properly. They enable core functionality such as page navigation, security features, and access to secure areas. Without these cookies, our site cannot operate as intended.

Performance Cookies: We use these to analyze how visitors interact with our site, including which pages are most popular, how long you spend on each page, and what content interests you most. This data helps us improve our website's functionality and user experience.

Preference Cookies: These cookies remember your choices and settings, such as language preferences or layout options, so you don't need to reconfigure them each time you visit.

Marketing Cookies: We may use these to track your activity across websites and deliver content relevant to your interests, though we respect your privacy choices.

Why We Use Cookies

We use cookies to provide you with a seamless and personalized experience. Essential cookies keep you secure and ensure our website works correctly. Performance cookies help us understand how you use our site so we can make improvements that benefit all visitors. Preference cookies save your settings, eliminating the need to repeat your choices.

Additionally, we use cookies to measure the effectiveness of our content and marketing efforts. This helps us deliver more relevant information about grocery budgeting tips, meal planning strategies, and bulk buying advice tailored to Canadian families. We never use cookies to collect sensitive personal information like passwords or payment details.
