See our Privacy Policy.

Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information which are downloaded to your device (e.g. computer, mobile phone etc) when you visit a website. Cookies are then sent back to the originating web domain on your subsequent visits to that domain. Most web pages contain elements from multiple web domains so when you visit bigwavedave.ca or windisgood.com, your browser may receive cookies from several sources.

Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognise a user’s device. They allow you to navigate between web pages efficiently, remember preferences and analyse how you use websites and online services. They can also be used to tailor advertising to your interests through tracking your browsing across websites. Note: all cookies for Google Ads and Analytics have been removed as of February 2025.

We use cookies for various purposes, such as to:

  • analyse trends
  • administer services
  • remember your preferences
  • track users’ movements around our website
  • gather demographic information about our user base as a whole
  • enable you to navigate between webpages more efficiently
  • help us understand how our website is used so we can improve it
  • record information about your visit to help target advertising and content specific to you.

What types of cookies do we use and how long will they stay on my device? We use the following types of cookies: necessary cookies; analytics cookies; functional cookies; and marketing cookies. Each type of cookie has a different purpose, as described further below.

Some cookies are set by us (known as first-party cookies). Other cookies are set by another organisation’s website (known as third-party cookies). For third-party cookies, we do not have access or control over these technologies. We do not tie the information gathered by third parties to our client’s or users’ personal information.

A cookie can either be a session cookie or a persistent cookie. A session cookie is stored temporarily on your computer or device while you use the website, and is deleted when you close your internet browser. A persistent cookie remains on your computer or device after you have closed your browser, so we can remember if you have visited our website before or your preferences. The period of time a persistent cookie stays on your computer or device varies and is set out below.

In addition to this, different browsers provide different methods to block and delete cookies used by websites. You can change the settings of your browser to block/delete the cookies.
