What this policy covers
This Cookie Policy explains the categories of cookies and similar technologies that may be relevant when you use the Arcivue website, why they are used, and how you can control optional categories. The term “cookies” is used here in a practical sense and also covers comparable browser or device technologies where the same privacy rules apply.
Under UK rules, storage or access that is strictly necessary for a service requested by the user can be treated differently from optional analytics or marketing technologies. Optional categories should only be used where the required choice or consent has been obtained.
Necessary technologies
Necessary technologies support functions that a visitor expects the site to provide. On this site, that includes remembering the privacy choice made through the cookie controls so that the same notice does not need to be presented repeatedly on every page view.
Necessary technologies are not used simply to build a marketing profile. Because they support core operation or a privacy choice requested by the visitor, they remain enabled even when optional categories are rejected.
Analytics category
Analytics technologies, if enabled, can be used to understand how visitors interact with pages, which sections are used, whether technical errors occur and how website performance can be improved. Depending on the tool, this may involve information such as page views, approximate device characteristics, referring information and interaction events.
Analytics is treated as optional for the compatibility-enquiry experience. The site can be used and the enquiry can be submitted without accepting optional analytics. Where an analytics provider requires storage or access on the user's device that is not strictly necessary, it should not be activated before the relevant consent is obtained.
Marketing category
Marketing technologies, if enabled, can be used to measure advertising activity, understand whether an advertisement led to a visit or enquiry, or support the delivery of advertising based on permitted signals. Such technologies may involve third-party advertising services and can operate across more than one website or service.
Marketing technologies are optional. Rejecting them should not prevent a visitor from reading the website or submitting the compatibility form. If a marketing technology is introduced, its use should be reflected in the site's consent controls and privacy information before it is activated where UK law requires consent.
Duration and retention
Some technologies last only for the browser session and are removed when the session ends. Others can remain for a defined period so that a preference can be remembered on a later visit. The appropriate duration depends on the purpose of the technology and should not be longer than reasonably necessary for that purpose.
Because optional providers and technologies can change, current browser storage information may provide additional detail about a particular item. Where a third-party optional tool is used, its own documentation may describe the exact lifetime of identifiers it sets, subject to the consent choices available on this site.
Third-party resources
Presentation resources such as the fonts and icon assets used on the website are served from the site itself. These local resources are distinct from optional advertising or analytics cookies.
If additional third-party analytics or marketing providers are used in future, the purpose and consent status of those technologies should be reviewed before deployment. Visitors should receive clear information about optional tracking and a practical way to refuse it where consent is required.
How to manage your choices
The cookie banner provides controls to accept all categories, reject optional categories or open the settings panel. Within settings, necessary functions remain enabled while analytics and marketing categories can be selected separately.
You can also use browser controls to delete stored data or block certain technologies. Browser-level blocking may affect how some site features remember preferences, so the site's own controls are generally the most direct way to express your choice for the optional categories described here.
If you clear browser data, use a different browser or use a different device, the site may not be able to recognise a privacy choice made previously and you may be asked to choose again.
