A different banner for
every province & territory
Create a fully customisable banner for every Canadian region, then apply the appropriate Law 25, provincial PIPA, PIPEDA or health-law consent model to each one.
Quebec
Quebec Law 25
Law 25 requires prior notice before technology identifies, locates or profiles a visitor. Create a Quebec-specific opt-in banner and fully customise its design, content and bilingual English/French experience.
- Express opt-in
- Bilingual EN/FR
- Consent records
Alberta & British Columbia
Provincial PIPA
Create separate banners for Alberta and British Columbia. Their private-sector laws allow notice-and-decline for non-sensitive tracking when visitors have a clear, reasonable opportunity to opt out.
- Clear notice
- Easy decline
- Opt-in when sensitive
Other provinces & territories
PIPEDA + provincial health laws
Configure an independent banner for every remaining region. Apply PIPEDA's meaningful-consent baseline, use opt-out for non-sensitive advertising where the OPC's conditions are met, and switch to opt-in when tracking touches health or other sensitive data.
- Meaningful consent
- Persistent withdrawal
- Opt-in for health data
Configure every region your way
Use opt-in across all of Canada, or tailor each regional banner independently — opt-in for Quebec and sensitive contexts, opt-out for non-sensitive advertising where permitted, with unique branding and content for every audience.
Region-aware consent,
from first paint to audit trail
No manual routing tables. Target a banner at each region and Canadian visitors are automatically served the one you set for their province.
Detect the province
CookieChimp geolocates each visitor and resolves their Canadian region — right down to CA-QC, CA-ON, CA-BC and the ten other subdivisions — so the right banner loads first. With auto-blocking enabled and the CookieChimp tag placed first, non-essential scripts stay blocked until consent.
Apply the right model
Target a Law 25 opt-in banner (profiling off by default) at Quebec, and a clear opt-out banner where the OPC permits it. For sensitive or health-related contexts, use an opt-in banner to apply the stricter model.
Serve it bilingually
On a paid plan, add a French translation alongside English; browser language auto-detect serves each visitor their language, falling back to your account's default. Every banner stays accessible and in clear, simple language.
Log & prove consent
Every consent event is logged with a timestamp, each accepted and rejected purpose, the consent type, and the visitor's detected country and region — exportable as a CSV whenever a regulator asks.
Canadian consent, covered coast to coast
One platform for federal and provincial consent requirements, with the regional controls and bilingual experiences Canadian visitors expect.

Canadian cookie consent questions
Is a cookie banner legally required in Canada?
Canada has no single universal "cookie banner required" rule. The requirement comes from privacy-law consent obligations when cookies, pixels, or SDKs collect personal information. Because online behavioural advertising usually involves personal information, a banner or equivalent notice-and-choice mechanism is the practical way to comply.
How does CookieChimp target individual Canadian provinces?
You create and fully customise an independent banner for each province or territory. CookieChimp geolocates each visitor, resolves their Canadian region — for example CA-QC, CA-ON, or CA-BC — and automatically serves the banner you've targeted there.
Does Quebec require opt-in for all cookies?
Necessary cookies genuinely required to deliver the requested service are treated differently from advertising, retargeting, behavioural analytics, and profiling tools. For technologies that identify, locate, or profile a person, Quebec's Law 25 should be treated as opt-in. With auto-blocking enabled and the CookieChimp tag placed before other scripts, those tools stay off until the visitor consents.
Do Alberta and BC have stricter cookie rules than PIPEDA?
Alberta and British Columbia have their own private-sector privacy laws. For ordinary non-sensitive tracking, the practical banner can still look like a PIPEDA opt-out model: clear notice, a reasonable opportunity to decline, sensitivity analysis, and real withdrawal. Where the data use is sensitive, unexpected, or high risk, use an opt-in banner instead.
What about health-related sites in Ontario, Nova Scotia, or New Brunswick?
Those provinces add health-sector privacy laws. When tracking touches health information, use an opt-in banner, minimise vendors, and remove advertising trackers from sensitive pages like patient portals and booking pages. Manitoba (PHIA) and Saskatchewan (HIPA) have their own health-information rules too.
What is the safest Canada-wide setting?
Opt-in everywhere is the safest and simplest from a risk perspective — run a worldwide opt-in banner and it applies across Canada. A more tailored setting is opt-in for Quebec and sensitive contexts, with opt-out for non-sensitive online behavioural advertising elsewhere in Canada when the OPC's conditions are satisfied.
Are CookieChimp's Canadian banners bilingual?
Yes — bilingual banners are available on paid plans. CookieChimp supports English and French banners with automatic translations, so you can meet Quebec's French-language expectations. Add a French translation and browser language auto-detect serves French to French-speaking visitors, with your account's default language as the fallback.
Should US or international companies care about Canadian province targeting?
Yes, if they serve Canadian visitors and use cookies or tracking that collect personal information. Province targeting lets an international company avoid applying the wrong Canadian consent model — most importantly, avoiding an opt-out banner in Quebec where opt-in is expected.
