Cookie Policy
Effective 2026-05-04.
Welcome to the Manara Center website. Before going further, we want to share, in plain language, how we use cookies when you visit our pages. This policy explains what cookies are, why we rely on a few of them, and the choices available to you for accepting or declining their use. Manara Center is a Québec non-profit organization rooted in Brossard, serving families across the South Shore. The trust families place in us guides everything we do, and we want you to understand our practices clearly and stay in control of your online experience here.
