Cookies
In order to improve our site on an ongoing basis, we use cookies to track your visit. The Canadian Cancer Society also uses cookies to provide users with certain features (for example, customized delivery of information based on your choice of language and your preferred province/territory) available on our website.
A cookie is a small amount of data that is transferred to your browser by a web server and can only be read by the website that gave it to you. It functions as your identification card. It is not a program and cannot be executed as code or deliver viruses.
Cookies can also customize the site to your particular interests or store your personal information – like passwords or user IDs. If a site ever greets you with your name, chances are it’s using a cookie to do so.
Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies. You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie – this gives you the chance to decide whether to accept it. To learn more about cookies and how to change your settings, please use the help function in your browser. The alerts will be quite frequent, however, and may eventually become annoying.
You can use the On your feet challenge website without cookies, but you may have to re-enter information each time you visit.
Information we collect and how we use it
Two types of information are collected from our website:
- Personal or “individually identifiable” information you provide to us.

Personnal information
You do not need to give personal information to receive information from this site.
There are instances online, however, when the Canadian Cancer Society requests individually identifiable information from you. Please note that we do give our web visitors options wherever necessary and practical. Such choices include:

This information allows us to process your family registration.
The personal information collected can also be used for research and/or service quality evaluation purposes. Such evaluations and/or research could be conducted by the Canadian Cancer Society or by a third party (research or polling firm).
