Lowe’s Canada and our business partners use them for different purposes. These technologies can uniquely identify your browser and log information, such as your device type, system and browser information, IP address, system language, location, and your interactions with the site. Like other websites, we need some essential cookies for our website to function properly. We also use some functional cookies to pre-populate your log-in ID to make it easier for you or to help us remember where you left off when you shopped, so you do not have to restart all over again. We may use browser cookies, flash cookies, and other types of local storage. Lowe’s Canada and our business partners also use cookies with other technologies, such as tags, beacons, or pixels. They allow us to count visitors to our webpages, evaluate the effectiveness of our promotional campaigns, or recommend relevant products and services to you when you browse social media or other websites.

Interest-Based Advertising Lowe’s Canada may collect data about your activities on our websites for use in providing advertising tailored to your individual interests, and we may share your online activities information, such as cookie ID, device ID, IP address and clickstream on our websites with advertising networks administered by third parties. These ad networks track your online activities over time and across websites by collecting information through automated means, and they use this information to show you advertisements that are tailored to your individual interests. The information they collect includes information about your visits to our websites, such as the pages you have viewed. This collection and ad targeting take place both on our websites and on third-party websites that participate in the ad network, such as sites that feature advertisements delivered by the ad network. As a result, you may see certain ads on other websites based on prior activity on our websites, and vice versa. The Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada (DAAC) has created guidance for online advertisers and provided a mechanism for such advertisers to comply with users' choices regarding interest-based ads. Visit the DAAC website to learn more about ad networks, including how to opt out of interest-based ads. Social Media Widgets Lowe’s Canada websites and applications may include social media features (for example, a Facebook "Like" button or sign in with Facebook or Google). These features are connected to third-parties and may allow such third parties to collect certain information, such as your IP address and which pages you visit on our websites. These social media features are not operated by Lowe’s Canada. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policies of the company providing the features. Links to Other Websites Lowe’s Canada websites and applications may provide links to third-party websites for your convenience and information. For instance, they may link to websites of product suppliers, manufacturers, and service providers. If you access those links, you will leave the Lowe’s Canada website. Lowe’s Canada does not control those sites or their privacy practices, which may differ from Lowe’s Canada practices. Lowe’s Canada does not endorse or make any representations about third-party websites. The personal data you choose to provide to or that is collected by these third parties is not covered by the Lowe’s Canada Privacy Statement.
