Cookie Policy
Last Updated: March 30, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Les films Wakan Inc. (“Wakan,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website or use the Wakan application (the “Service”).
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files downloaded to your device that allow a site to recognize you. We also use "pixels" or "web beacons," which are tiny graphics that allow us to track usage patterns. For the purposes of this policy, we refer to all these technologies as “Cookies.”
2. Why does Wakan use Cookies?
In line with our "Museum Layer" philosophy, we use cookies to ensure a seamless, high-prestige viewing experience. They help us:
• Keep you securely logged into your account.
• Remember your language and playback preferences (e.g., subtitles).
• Analyze which "Programs" are resonating with our global audience.
• Optimize our "Low-Data" streaming delivery for different regions.
3. Categories of Cookies we use
We categorize our cookies based on their necessity:
• Strictly Necessary Cookies (Essential): These are required for the Service to function. They enable basic features like page navigation and access to secure areas. The Service cannot function properly without these. Under Quebec Law 25, these do not require prior consent.
• Functional Cookies: These allow Wakan to remember choices you make (such as your username or region) to provide enhanced, personalized features.
• Analytics Cookies: These help us understand how viewers interact with our Programs. We use this data to improve our "Wing" deployment strategy and curation.
• Targeting/Advertising Cookies: These may be used to deliver relevant sponsorship information or to track the effectiveness of our diaspora-focused marketing campaigns.
4. Consent and "Confidentiality by Default"
In compliance with Quebec’s Law 25 and the GDPR:
• Non-essential cookies (Analytics and Targeting) are disabled by default.
• They will only be activated if you explicitly click "Accept" or "Opt-in" via our cookie consent banner upon your first visit.
• You may withdraw your consent at any time through the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer of our website.
5. Managing Your Preferences
Beyond our internal settings, you can manage cookies through your browser:
• Firefox
6. Third-Party Cookies
As we utilize specialized video infrastructure, certain third-party suppliers (including our hosting and billing partners) may set cookies on your device to facilitate video playback and secure transactions. These partners are contractually bound to handle your data according to our privacy standards.
7. Global Opt-Outs
To opt-out of interest-based advertising globally, you may visit:
• Digital Advertising Alliance (US)
