About us

The Vaudreuil-Soulanges Community Development Corporation (CDC-VS) invites you to read its privacy policy to learn about the rules it applies to protect personal information.

Use of cookies

This website does not place any permanent cookies on visitors’ computer hard drives, only a temporary cookie required to improve the performance of certain site features.

Use of Google Analytics

CDC-VS uses Google Analytics on this website, a web analytics tool. Google Analytics collects information about your browsing activity on this site, which is stored on servers located primarily in the United States. Google may disclose this information to third parties when required by law or when such third parties process data on Google’s behalf.

The information collected includes, for example, the pages you view, the date, time, duration, and frequency of your visits, as well as the links you click. The type and language of your computer’s operating system, the name of your Internet service provider, and your geographic location (region) are also collected. Your IP address is also gathered, but it is anonymized (truncated) to ensure the confidentiality of your personal information. IP anonymization prevents the identification of users through their IP address.

Google uses the collected information solely to generate statistics and reports about website usage, helping CDC-VS improve its digital service delivery. Google will never link the information collected on this site with any other data it holds.

If you wish, you may prevent Google from collecting information about your browsing by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on on your computer.

Automatic information exchanges

When you access the CDC-VS website, your computer and the website’s server automatically exchange information. This communication is necessary for the server to send a file compatible with your computer equipment. The information exchanged includes:
  • the domain name of your Internet service provider;
  • your IP address, a unique number assigned to your computer when connected to the Internet;
  • the type of browser (Explorer, Firefox, etc.) and operating system (Windows, Mac OS, etc.) you use;
  • the date and time of your visit;
  • the pages you visit;
  • the referring website address, if you accessed the CDC-VS site from another site.
This information is stored and used by CDC-VS for technical and statistical purposes. It helps track the number of visits, the most viewed pages, the technology used by visitors, referring sites, and the country of origin of visitors.

Information provided by email or form

CDC-VS is committed to protecting the confidential information you provide. If you voluntarily share personal or otherwise confidential information via email or a form—for example, to subscribe to the newsletter or submit a request—we use only the information needed to respond to your message or follow up on your request. Electronic correspondence is treated with the same confidentiality measures as other written documents.

Links to other websites

The CDC-VS website contains hyperlinks to other websites and external documents that belong to those sites. Information exchanged on those external websites is not covered by this privacy policy but rather by the external site’s own privacy policy, if one exists.
