Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Arthatech uses cookies, local storage, pixels, tags, SDKs, log files, and similar technologies on this website and, where applicable, in client portals or project-related systems operated by Arthatech.

This policy should be read together with the Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use, disclose, retain, and protect personal information more broadly.

Cookies are small text files placed on your browser or device when you visit a website. Similar technologies can store or read information from your browser, device, or session to keep a service working, remember preferences, measure usage, detect security issues, or support marketing and advertising.

Cookies may be first-party cookies set by Arthatech or third-party cookies set by service providers. They may be session cookies that expire when you close your browser or persistent cookies that remain for a defined period unless deleted earlier.

Arthatech may use cookies and similar technologies to:

• Operate the website, route traffic, load pages, maintain sessions, and remember cookie choices.
• Protect the website from spam, abuse, fraud, automated attacks, credential misuse, and unauthorized access.
• Measure website traffic, performance, page journeys, errors, conversion points, and content effectiveness.
• Remember user preferences such as consent choices, display settings, or form state where supported.
• Support contact forms, scheduling, embedded media, maps, payments, client portals, authentication, or other third-party features.
• Understand whether business communications or campaigns are effective, where permitted by law.

Essential cookies are required for the website or requested service to function. These may include security, load balancing, session, form, authentication, accessibility, and cookie-preference technologies. You can block them in your browser, but parts of the site may stop working properly.

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the site, which pages are useful, where errors happen, and how performance can be improved. Where required by law or our banner settings, analytics cookies are used only after consent.

Functional cookies remember optional preferences or enable enhanced features such as embedded scheduling, video, maps, chat, or client portal conveniences. Some of these features may be provided by third parties.

Marketing and advertising cookies, if used, may help measure campaigns, limit repeated messages, attribute inquiries, or support advertising. Arthatech does not currently use these technologies to sell personal information, and any use for cross-context behavioural advertising will be disclosed and controlled as required by applicable law.

In Canada, consent for cookies and tracking depends on the context, sensitivity, reasonable expectations, and applicable privacy or anti-spam rules. In the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, and some other regions, non-essential cookies generally require consent before they are placed or accessed.

Where a cookie banner or preference tool is available, you can accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or choose available categories. You can change your browser settings to block, delete, or alert you about cookies. If you clear cookies, use a different browser, or use another device, you may need to set your preferences again.

If you decline non-essential cookies, you can still use the website, but some optional features, embedded services, personalization, analytics, or campaign measurement may be limited.

Arthatech may use third-party providers for hosting, analytics, performance monitoring, forms, scheduling, email, security, payments, embedded content, maps, fonts, video, CRM, and project delivery. These providers may set or read cookies or similar technologies under their own terms and privacy policies.

Third-party tools can change over time as our services, infrastructure, and client needs evolve. We aim to choose providers that support reasonable privacy and security practices.

Analytics data may include pages viewed, links clicked, referring pages, approximate region, device and browser information, timestamps, session information, and technical diagnostics. We use analytics to improve site content, performance, accessibility, user journeys, and service planning.

Where possible, we prefer privacy-conscious configuration, such as aggregation, limited retention, reduced identifiability, and avoiding unnecessary tracking across unrelated websites.

Security technologies may be used to identify unusual traffic, block spam, protect forms, enforce rate limits, maintain audit logs, prevent abuse, and investigate incidents. These technologies are generally treated as essential because they help keep the site and related services available and secure.

Some browsers offer Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signals. Because industry standards for Do Not Track remain inconsistent, this website may not respond to every Do Not Track signal. Where applicable law requires recognition of Global Privacy Control or similar opt-out preference signals, Arthatech will treat those signals as an opt-out from sale, sharing, or targeted advertising for that browser or device.

Some US privacy laws treat certain cookies, pixels, or advertising identifiers as personal information. If Arthatech ever uses tracking technologies that constitute sale, sharing, targeted advertising, or profiling under an applicable US state privacy law, we will provide required notices and opt-out choices.

Arthatech does not knowingly sell or share personal information of children or use cookie data to discriminate against users who exercise privacy rights.

Arthatech operates from Canada, but cookie and analytics providers may process information in Canada, the United States, the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, India, or other jurisdictions. Cross-border processing is addressed in more detail in the Privacy Policy.

Most browsers let you view, delete, block, or limit cookies. You can usually find these controls in your browser's privacy or security settings. Mobile devices may also provide advertising ID, tracking, or app privacy settings.

Browser controls are device- and browser-specific. Blocking all cookies may affect login, forms, preferences, security checks, embedded content, and other website features.

We may update this Cookie Policy when our website tools, analytics practices, service providers, legal obligations, or business operations change. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised date.

Questions about cookies, tracking, analytics, or privacy choices can be sent through the contact page or your existing Arthatech project email thread.
