Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognize your device, remember your preferences, and collect information about how you use the site.
Cookies are widely used to make websites function efficiently, to provide information to website owners, and to improve user experience. Some cookies are strictly necessary for the site to work — others are optional and are only placed with your consent.

Currently, TRC does not use any third-party advertising networks, social media tracking pixels, or external analytics platforms beyond those provided natively by Squarespace. If this changes, this Cookie Policy will be updated before any new third-party cookies are placed.
External links on our site (for example, links to U.S. government immigration websites or Canadian government portals) will take you to third-party websites that have their own cookie policies. TRC is not responsible for cookies placed by those sites.
Our website is hosted on Squarespace. As our platform provider, Squarespace places certain essential cookies automatically for site security, performance, and functionality. These are not optional and cannot be disabled while you use our Site. Squarespace's data processing is governed by its own Privacy Policy.
Squarespace's built-in Cookie Consent Banner (activated in our site settings) manages consent for optional analytics cookies in accordance with GDPR and ePrivacy requirements. Our custom cookie banner integrates with and defers to Squarespace's native consent management system.
You have several options for managing cookies:
- Cookie banner: When you first visit our site, you can choose to accept all cookies or essential cookies only. You can revisit this choice by clearing your browser cookies and reloading the page.
- Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to view, delete, or block cookies through their settings menu. Note that blocking all cookies may affect how our Site functions.
- Browser-specific guides: Instructions for managing cookies in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge.
Disabling analytics cookies will not affect your ability to apply to TRC programs or access any content on our Site.
When you first visit our website, a cookie banner will appear giving you the choice between accepting all cookies or essential cookies only. By selecting "Accept All," you consent to the placement of analytics cookies in addition to essential cookies. By selecting "Essential Only," only strictly necessary cookies will be placed.
Your consent applies to this website only and does not affect cookies placed by any external websites you navigate to from our links.
For EU, EEA, and UK visitors, your rights under GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive (Cookie Law) are fully respected. We do not place non-essential cookies without your prior consent.
For California residents, our use of cookies does not constitute a "sale" of personal data under CCPA.
