Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function properly, improve user experience, and provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website you are visiting are called first-party cookies. Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called third-party cookies. Third-party cookies enable features or functionality provided by external services (e.g., analytics, advertising).
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies Arcbase uses, why we use them, and how you can control your cookie preferences. This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
Cookie Categories
We classify cookies into four categories based on their purpose. Under the GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive, only "Strictly Necessary" cookies may be set without your consent. All other categories require your explicit consent.
Strictly Necessary
Essential for the website to function. These cookies enable core functionality such as authentication, security (CSRF protection), and cookie consent management. They cannot be disabled as the platform would not function without them.
Functional
Enable enhanced functionality and personalisation, such as remembering your UI preferences (e.g., sidebar state). These cookies are not strictly necessary but improve your experience. They are only set with your consent.
Analytics
Help us understand how visitors interact with Arcbase by collecting information about pages visited, time spent, and errors encountered. All analytics data is aggregated and anonymised. These cookies are only set with your consent.
Marketing
Used to deliver relevant advertisements and measure the effectiveness of marketing campaigns. These cookies may track your activity across websites. They are only set with your consent.
