ThornMarket uses a single first-party cookie to store your cookie consent preference (key: tm_cookie_consent). This cookie is stored locally in your browser and is not transmitted to any external server. No tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or analytics cookies are set by default.
If you reject the cookie consent banner, no cookies are written beyond what is strictly necessary for the site to function.

We do not use Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, or any behavioral advertising network.
Contact form submissions are retained for 12 months, after which they are deleted. Server log data is deleted after 90 days. Cookie preference records exist only in your browser's local storage and can be cleared at any time through your browser settings.
You have the right to request access to any personal information we hold about you, to request corrections, and to withdraw consent for its use. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at info@thornmarket.org or by mail at 145 King Street West, Suite 400, Toronto, ON M5H 1J8.
