Not so fast. The cookies we speak of are chocolate-free online cookies and similar tracking technologies. They are placed on your computer and other devices by website owners in the form of small pieces of computer code and hold tiny crumbs of information about you.
Just like real cookies, these cookies come in different shapes and sizes. Some are used by us to make our Flying Dance Community website work, or work more efficiently, as well as provide reporting information. Others provide us with information important for the optimization of the Flying Dance Community website design, operations and efficiency, while still others are used to recognize you and remember your preferences and choices. Because we want to show you content you are really interested in, we also use cookies which allow us to build up a profile about you based on your wishes, preferences and habits and show you personalized content and advertisements tailored to your needs and wishes.
No, these are, unfortunately, not the yummy kind of cookies. So, if you’re hungry, we suggest you visit your local bakery, but if you are thirsty for knowledge, you are welcome to read through this Cookie Policy which explains how Flying Dance Community, 16 Wyndham Street N, unit# 3, Guelph, Ontario (“FDComm” or “we”) uses cookies and similar technologies, such as web beacons, pixels or tags, (collectively “cookies”) to recognize you and collect information from you when you visit www.fdcommunity.com (“Website”), how and why we use the information collected via cookies, what types of cookies we use, and how to control our use of cookies.
If any of your questions remain unanswered you can contact us at legal@fdcommunity.com.
Cookies are made up of tiny text snippets placed on your computer and other devices when you visit the Website. They may be set on your device either by FDComm or by a third party via a third-party server or code loaded on the Website. The former are called first-party cookies and the latter third-party cookies. Through cookies, we collect and store different information about you, your device, and the way you use the Website. This information is then used for several different purposes from remembering items in your shopping cart to delivering advertisements tailored to your interests on other platforms. Based on the purpose for which the information collected through a cookie is obtained, we distinguish between four types of cookies; necessary or technical cookies, functionality cookies, performance or analytical cookies and marketing cookies.
Necessary cookies are technical cookies that are essential for you to browse the Website and use its features. They enable the Website’s technical functionality as well as the accessibility and security of the Website.
These cookies are essential for the functioning of the website and cannot be disabled. You can block or delete them by changing your browser settings, however, this may cause functions and services on the Website to either not function correctly or not function at all.
Functionality cookies are used to recognize you and remember your choices, preferences, and previously selected options when you return to our Website.
As functionality cookies are not essential to the functioning of the Website, you can refuse them by selecting the correct option in our Cookie Management Tool available below. Alternatively, you can refuse particular types of cookies through your browser settings. You can find out more about these alternative options in the “How to accept or refuse cookies” section below.
Cookies measuring how often you visit our Website and how you navigate and interact with it are called performance cookies. They show us an aggregate statistic of how our Website is doing by measuring, for example, the number of visits to our Website, from where our customers are visiting, and at what time of day as well as how long they stay on our Website. Performance or analytical cookies are also used by us to determine the most popular areas of our website and how frequently particular product pages are visited.
As performance cookies are not essential to the functioning of the Website you can refuse them by selecting the correct option in our Cookie Management Tool available below. Alternatively, you can refuse some third-party cookies relevant to marketing universally for all websites or refuse particular types of cookies through your browser settings. You can find out more about these alternative options in the “How to accept or refuse cookies” section below.
Marketing cookies help us understand you, your wishes, interests and preferences by helping us to get to know you, see what you like and help us track your browsing habits and activities. By installing marketing cookies on your device(s), you are allowing us to collect information about you (for example, your User ID), information about your device (such as IP address and browser info) and information on how you interact with our Website (for example, information on the fact that you have visited our website, which product Websites you have visited and information on whether you have initiated the ordering process on our Website). We then use this information to prevent the same advertisements from continuously reappearing and ensure that advertisements are properly displayed. By using marketing cookies, we also build up advertising profiles about you and people with interests similar to yours, which enables us to select and offer you and others advertisements more suitable to your interests, preferences and browsing patterns.
As marketing cookies are not essential to the functioning of the Website you can refuse them by selecting the correct option in our Cookie Management Tool available below. Alternatively, you can refuse third-party advertising cookies universally for all websites or refuse particular types of cookies through your browser settings. You can find out more about these alternative options in the “How to accept or refuse cookies” section below.
Cookies help us and our partners collect and retrieve information about you, your devices and your interaction with our Website. Some of the information we collect gives us information concerning your use of our Website, your choices, preferences and technical specifications without enabling us to directly or indirectly identify you. Other information allows us and our partners to identify you, either directly or through links to other information (the “Personal Information” or “Personal Data”).
When you use our Website, we or third parties may set cookies on your computer or other devices in order to enable special features and functionalities of the Website, for example, interactive content like YouTube videos and Facebook posts, website analytics and advertising. As some of those features and functionalities are developed and provided by our partners, some of the cookies set on your devices through our Website (first-party cookies) may transmit information collected directly to our partners.
The first- and third-party cookies we use, are categorized by type, specified and described in the table below which also provides links to our partners’ websites, where you can learn more about their use of cookies.

We usually delete non-personal information collected via cookies after the cookie duration period has expired, unless the purpose for which we collected information still exists. In such cases, we delete the information as soon as the purpose of the collection of the information ceases. We retain Personal Information collected through cookies for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which the Personal Information was collected unless otherwise required by our legal obligations under commercial and other laws or if we require Personal Information to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights. Once no business need or no obligation exists to process your Personal Information, we either delete it or, if we are unable to delete it or if said information is required for statistical purposes, we anonymize it.
You are free to decide whether to accept or refuse the installation and use of all cookies that are not necessary for the Website to function. Please note, that necessary cookies are essential for the functioning of the website and cannot be disabled.
The installation and use of non-necessary cookies may be managed in our Cookie Management Tool contained in the cookie banner on the website and in the section below, where you can decide, specific to our Website, whether to accept or refuse the installation and use of cookies by cookie type. Please note that your preferences set in the Cookie Management Tool will apply only to cookies used on our Website, that the preferences must be set for each device used to access the Website separately and that, when amended, your preferences apply only to our and our partners’ future use of the cookies on the Website.
You can also set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you wish to amend your web browser cookie controls, please visit your browser’s help menu for more information as the means by which you can refuse cookies through your browser vary from browser to browser. Please note, that when refusing cookies in your web browser settings, some functionalities of the Website may not function properly.
Alternatively, you may opt out of the use of our third-party advertising cookies universally by visiting the following websites and choosing the appropriate options: the Digital Advertising Alliance website, the Network Advertising Initiative website, and the Your Online Choices website (for EU visitors only).
Individuals located in the European Union or European Economic Area, please note that your Personal Data collected via cookies is collected, processed, and stored in the United States and may, therefore, be afforded a lower level of protection than the protection afforded by the laws of your country. By accepting the use of a particular type of cookies, you consent to the transfer of your Personal Data collected via that particular type of cookies to the United States.
We may share your Personal Data collected via cookies with entities listed in “Who else can access the information collected through cookies?“ section of this Cookie Policy and with regulatory authorities responsible for the enforcement of data protection laws or other law enforcement authorities upon their request. We transfer Personal Data outside of the European Economic Area (“EEA”), only where such transfer is of a type authorized by the EU data protection laws, for example, in the case of transfers from within the EEA to a country or scheme which is approved by the European Commission as ensuring an adequate level of protection or if the transfer of Personal Data is subject to the appropriate safeguards or if the transfer is otherwise allowed under the GDPR.
You have multiple rights in relation to our use of your Personal Data collected via cookies, including the right to request access to your Personal Data, the right to the correction of your Personal Data, the right to request the erasure of your Personal Data, the right to request the restriction of the processing of your Personal Data or to transfer your Personal Data to another party and the right to object to the processing of your Personal Data.
