Who is the Controller of your data?

ESG.AI Technologies Inc. established at 1021 W Hastings St, 9th floor, Vancouver, BC V6E 0C3 Canada is the data controller for the processing activities described in this Cookies Notice.

What do we mean by “Cookies and similar technologies”?

Cookies are small pieces of data – usually text files – placed on your device when you use that device (such as a computer, phone or tablet) to visit our Services. They are designed to hold a modest amount of data specific to a particular device and website, and can be accessed either by our servers or your device. Cookies allow our servers to deliver our Services and our websites in a manner that is tailored to a particular user. 

You can find more information about the different types of Cookies below in the section “which cookies do we use”.

Can I choose whether and which cookies are placed on my device?

YES – when you enter our website, you can freely choose which types of Cookies will be placed on your device (except essential cookies which are necessary for the access to our website and for the provision of our Services).  Later on, you can at all time modify your Cookies preferences in the console displayed at the top of this Cookies notice which is available at the bottom of each page of our website.   

Besides, there are a number of ways you can opt-out of certain interest-based advertising and other online tracking activities, which we have summarized below.

  • Blocking Cookies in your web browser. Most web browsers let you remove or reject Cookies, including Cookies used for interest-based advertising. Many web browsers accept Cookies by default until you change your settings. Please note that changing your cookie preferences in or for one web browser does not change your cookie preferences for all web browsers.
  • Blocking advertising identifier use in your device settings. Your device may offer settings that enable you to make choices about the collection, use, or transfer of an advertising identifier associated with your device for interest-based advertising purposes.
  • Using privacy plug-ins or browsers. You can block our Services from setting Cookies used for interest-based advertising by using a browser with privacy features or installing browser plugins and configuring them to block Cookies/trackers. 
  • Platform opt out. Some third-party ad networks, including third-party advertisement agencies, advertisement technology vendors, and research firms, allow you to opt-out directly by using their opt-out tools. Some of these providers, and links to their opt-out tools, are:
    • Google (AdWords): adsettings.google.com;
    • Microsoft (Bing): about.ads.microsoft.com/en-us/resources/policies/personalized-ads; and

Some of these opt-out features are Cookie-based, meaning that when you use these opt-out features, an “opt-out” Cookie will be placed on your device indicating that you do not want to receive interest-based advertising from certain companies. If you delete your Cookies, use a different browser, or use a different device, you will need to renew your opt-out choice.

Do we use third party Cookies?
