Cookie Policy
Plain-Language Summary. When you visit https://www.kaboommontreal.com/, our site places small text files called cookies on your device. Some are strictly necessary to make the store work (for example, to keep your cart and process your payment). Others are optional and help us understand how the site is used or remember your preferences. Under Québec’s Law 25 and other applicable laws, we ask for your consent before setting any non-essential cookies. The first time you visit, a banner powered by CookieYes lets you Accept, Reject, or Configure these optional cookies. You can change your choices at any time by reopening the banner from the cookie-settings link in the footer.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your computer, tablet, or phone when you visit it. They allow the site to recognize your device, remember information about your visit (such as language preference or items in your cart), and gather statistics about how the site is used. Similar technologies — such as web beacons, pixels, local storage, and SDKs — work in a comparable way and are covered by this Cookie Policy.
Why We Use Cookies
Kaboom Auto-Tamponneuse inc. (“Kaboom Montréal”) uses cookies and similar technologies to:
- operate the online store and process your ticket purchase securely;
- remember your preferences (such as language or cookie choices);
- measure how visitors use the Website, in order to improve it;
- where you give consent, deliver and measure promotional campaigns.
Types of Cookies We Use
Strictly Necessary
Purpose: site security, load balancing, shopping-cart retention, checkout, and authentication of payment sessions. Without these cookies the Website cannot function properly, so they cannot be switched off through the consent banner.
Legal basis: our legitimate interest in providing a working website (no consent is required under Law 25 for cookies strictly necessary to provide a service that you have explicitly requested).
Performance / Analytics
Purpose: measuring traffic and usage of the Website (for example, number of visitors, pages viewed, time spent, traffic sources) so that we can improve the user experience.
Legal basis: your prior, express consent, which you may withdraw at any time.
Functionality
Purpose: remembering your preferences (such as your chosen language) and personalizing certain non-essential aspects of your experience.
Legal basis: your prior, express consent, which you may withdraw at any time.
Targeting / Advertising
Purpose: delivering personalized advertisements on the Website or on third-party platforms, and measuring the performance of those campaigns.
Legal basis: your prior, express consent, which you may withdraw at any time.

Cookie Consent & Management
We use CookieYes as our consent-management platform.
- The first time you visit the Website, a banner is displayed with three options: Accept all, Reject all, or Customize.
- No non-essential cookie is set on your device before you make a choice. Strictly necessary cookies are set automatically because the Website cannot function without them.
- Your choices are recorded in a first-party cookie named
cookieyes-consent(or an equivalent token) with an expiry of approximately 12 months, along with a log of the date and version of the policy you consented to. - You can change or withdraw your consent at any time, just as easily as you gave it, by clicking the “Cookie settings” link in the footer of the Website. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.
- Refusing non-essential cookies will not prevent you from buying tickets, but some features (such as analytics-based improvements) may be limited.
Controlling Cookies in Your Browser
In addition to the consent banner, you can manage cookies directly in your browser settings — for example, to block all cookies, accept only first-party cookies, or delete cookies that have already been stored. Most browsers also offer a “private browsing” or “incognito” mode that limits cookie storage to the current session.
You can usually find instructions in the Help or Privacy & Security section of your browser. Useful resources include:
- The browser’s built-in help (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, Opera, etc.).
- General guides such as https://www.allaboutcookies.org or https://youronlinechoices.eu.
Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent the Website (and especially the checkout) from working properly.
International Transfers
Some of our cookie providers (for example analytics or advertising providers) may be located outside Québec, including in the United States and the European Union, and may process data from cookies in those countries. Before disclosing personal information outside Québec, Kaboom Montréal carries out a privacy-impact assessment as required by Law 25 and relies on appropriate safeguards (such as contractual clauses) to provide an adequate level of protection.
Changes to This Cookie Policy
We review this Cookie Policy and the cookies used on the Website quarterly, and update it whenever we add, change, or remove cookies, or whenever the legal framework changes. Material changes will be communicated through the cookie banner (which will request fresh consent where required) or through a notice on the Website. The “Effective Date” below indicates when this policy was last updated.
