Cookie Policy

Last updated: 1 January 2025

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how Arqelitho uses them on arqelitho.com, and how you can manage your cookie preferences. Please read this policy in conjunction with our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function correctly, improve user experience, and provide information to website owners.

Cookies can be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (remaining on your device for a set period or until you delete them). Cookies can also be "first-party" (set by the website you are visiting) or "third-party" (set by a different website).

2. Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies:

2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the Website to function. They enable core functionality such as navigation and access to secure areas. The Website cannot function properly without these cookies. Because they are essential, they do not require your consent.

  • arq_cookie_consent — Stores your cookie consent decision so we don't ask repeatedly. Duration: 12 months.

2.2 Analytics Cookies (Optional)

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our Website by collecting and reporting anonymised information. This helps us improve our content and user experience. These cookies require your consent.

  • We may use anonymised analytics tools to understand page popularity, referral sources, and session durations. No personally identifiable information is collected through these tools.

2.3 Functionality Cookies (Optional)

These cookies allow the Website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personalised features. For example, remembering display preferences or language settings.

2.4 Cookies We Do NOT Use

Arqelitho does not use:

  • Advertising or targeting cookies.
  • Social media tracking cookies from third parties.
  • Any cookies that track your browsing behaviour across other websites.
  • Cookies that build user profiles for commercial profiling purposes.

3. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

When you first visit our Website, you will be presented with a cookie consent notice. You can choose to accept or decline optional cookies at that point. You can also change your preferences at any time using the following methods:

  • Browser settings: Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically find these in the "Options", "Settings", or "Privacy" menus. Note that blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of some websites.
  • Clearing cookies: You can delete cookies that have already been set through your browser settings.
  • Contact us: You can contact us at info@arqelitho.com to request that we delete any data associated with your consent record.

4. Browser-Specific Instructions

For guidance on managing cookies in popular browsers:

  • Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data
  • Mozilla Firefox: Options > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
  • Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Cookies and website data
  • Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Cookies and site data

5. Do Not Track

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal to indicate that users do not wish to be tracked. There is currently no universally agreed standard for responding to DNT signals. We do not currently alter our data practices in response to DNT signals, but we do not use third-party tracking cookies.

6. Impact of Disabling Cookies

If you choose to disable strictly necessary cookies, parts of the Website may not function correctly. Disabling optional analytics cookies will not affect your ability to access content, but we will have less information available to improve the Website.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated date. We recommend reviewing this page periodically.
