Privacy

Oh Maple Canada is designed to collect as little visitor data as practical for an independent publication.

Analytics

On the production website, we use Google Analytics 4 to understand aggregate readership patterns such as page views, traffic sources, device/browser categories, approximate geography and engagement with the site.

Google Analytics does not load unless you choose “Allow analytics.” If you choose “No thanks,” the Google Analytics tag is not requested by the site. Your choice is stored locally in your browser so we can remember it.

Our Analytics configuration disables Google Signals and advertising-personalization signals. We do not intentionally send names, email addresses or other directly identifying form data to Google Analytics.

You can change your choice at any time using Analytics settings in the website footer. A changed preference applies on subsequent page loads.

Google describes how it safeguards Analytics data and how sites using Analytics should inform visitors about data collection in its Analytics privacy documentation.

Essential site functions

The website may use local browser storage for functions that are necessary to remember a setting you selected, including your analytics preference. These settings are not used to build advertising profiles.

Advertising features

This Google Analytics implementation is configured with Google Signals and advertising-personalization signals disabled. If the site’s advertising or measurement practices change, this notice should be reviewed before those changes are enabled.

External links

Articles link to government, academic, media and other external sources. Those websites have their own privacy practices, which are outside Oh Maple Canada’s control.

Changes

If our data practices materially change, this page should be updated before the new collection is enabled.
