Cookies Settings

This page explains how bettinarothe.com uses cookies — small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. We believe in keeping things simple and transparent: our website uses only strictly necessary cookies. We do not use advertising cookies, tracking cookies, or analytics cookies that monitor your behaviour across the web.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files stored on your browser or device when you visit a website. They allow the website to remember certain information about your visit — such as whether you are logged in or have acknowledged a notice — so the site can function correctly.
Cookies can be first-party (set directly by the website you are visiting) or third-party (set by external services embedded in the page). They can also be session cookies, which expire when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a set period.
On bettinarothe.com, we use only first-party, strictly necessary cookies. No third-party tracking or advertising cookies are in use on this website.

2. Cookies We Use

The following describes the only category of cookies used on this website. Because these cookies are strictly necessary for the site to function, they are always active and cannot be disabled without affecting your ability to use the site.

Strictly Necessary Cookies — Always Active

These cookies are required for core website functionality. They do not collect any information that could be used to identify you personally or track your activity across other websites. Without them, certain features of the website — such as maintaining your session while browsing — would not work correctly.

Specific cookie names may vary depending on the platform powering the website. The purposes above are representative of strictly necessary cookies in common use.

No analytics. No advertising. No tracking. We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any other behavioural tracking or remarketing tools on this website. Your browsing activity on bettinarothe.com is not shared with advertising networks or data brokers.

3. Legal Basis for Cookies

Under British Columbia’s Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA), Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), and, where applicable, the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the ePrivacy Directive:

• Strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent, as they are essential to deliver the service you have requested. They are placed on the basis of legitimate interest and contractual necessity.
• Because we use no non-essential cookies, we are not required to present a cookie consent banner. However, we provide this page in the interest of full transparency.

4. How to Manage or Delete Cookies

While strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled without impairing the website’s functionality, you are always free to manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Please note that doing so may affect how the website behaves during your visit.

Instructions for managing cookies in common browsers:

• Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data
• Mozilla Firefox: Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
• Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
• Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions
• Safari on iPhone/iPad: Settings → Safari → Advanced → Website Data

You can also clear all cookies stored on your device at any time through your browser’s history or privacy settings.

5. Third-Party Services and Embedded Content

Our website may link to or embed content from third-party platforms — such as video hosting services, booking tools, or payment processors. When you interact with embedded content or follow a link to a third-party service, that service may place its own cookies on your device in accordance with its own privacy and cookie policy.

We encourage you to review the cookie and privacy policies of any third-party services you use in connection with our offerings. Common third-party services we may use include:

• Video conferencing (e.g., Zoom): Used to deliver online classes and coaching sessions — subject to Zoom’s own privacy policy
• Booking / scheduling platforms: Used to manage registrations — subject to the respective platform’s privacy policy
• Payment processors: Used to process service fees securely — subject to the processor’s own policies

We do not embed social media buttons, advertising networks, or third-party analytics scripts that would place cookies on your device when you visit our website.

6. Do Not Track

Some browsers allow you to enable a “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal, which requests that websites not track your browsing activity. Because bettinarothe.com does not track your behaviour or use third-party advertising or analytics cookies, our website already operates consistently with the intent of the DNT standard, regardless of whether your browser sends a DNT signal.

7. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Settings page if we change the cookies or similar technologies used on our website. Any updates will be reflected by a revised “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. If we introduce any non-essential cookies in the future, we will update this page, implement appropriate consent mechanisms, and notify you as required by law.
