LAST UPDATED: SEPTEMBER 23, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Octave Design and Build Inc. (“Octave”, “we”, “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal information more generally.
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, phone or tablet when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device, remember your preferences and understand how the site is used.
We also use similar technologies, such as local storage, pixels, tags and scripts, which work in a comparable way. In this policy, “cookies” refers to all of these technologies.
First-party cookies are set by our website. Third-party cookies are set by other organisations whose services we use, such as analytics providers or embedded maps and videos.
Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.

Where we use non-essential cookies, you can accept, reject or change your preferences at any time using the cookie settings link in the footer of our website.
Most browsers let you view, block and delete cookies. Blocking all cookies may affect how our website works. Guidance is available in the help section of your browser, including Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge.
Some analytics providers offer browser add-ons that let you opt out of their measurement across all websites.
If you disable cookies in your browser, we treat that as a refusal of consent for the cookies concerned.
We use cookies in accordance with PIPEDA’s requirement for meaningful consent and Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL), which regulates the installation of computer programs, including certain scripts and cookies, on a visitor’s device. For visitors in Quebec, non-essential cookies are disabled by default until you opt in, as required by Law 25.
Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies are kept for the period set by each cookie, generally no longer than 13 months, unless you delete them sooner. Your cookie preference choice is stored for up to 12 months, after which we will ask you again.
We may update this Cookie Policy when we add or change website tools or when the law changes. The updated policy will be posted on this page with a new “Last updated” date.
