Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Arlivra ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit arlivra.com. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device when you visit them. They allow the site to recognize your device on subsequent visits, store your preferences, and provide functionality that requires identifying you across page loads. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, web beacons, and pixel tags — we refer to all of these as "cookies" in this policy.

2. Categories of cookies we use

Essential cookies

Required for the platform to function. These cannot be disabled. Examples include:

• Session cookies that keep you logged in.
• Security cookies that detect fraudulent activity.
• Load balancing cookies that route requests efficiently.
• Theme preference (light/dark mode).

Analytics cookies

Help us understand how members use the platform so we can improve it. We use Google Analytics 4, which sets the following cookies:

• _ga — distinguishes unique users (2 years).
• _ga_* — session state (2 years).
• _gid — distinguishes unique users (24 hours).

IP addresses are anonymized before being processed. You can opt out by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Advertising cookies

We display advertisements through Google AdSense and similar advertising networks. These networks may set cookies to:

• Serve ads that may be relevant to your interests.
• Limit the number of times you see the same advertisement.
• Measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at www.aboutads.info.

Functional cookies

Remember your preferences (language, country, display settings) so you don't have to set them every visit. Disabling these will not break the platform but may reduce convenience.

3. Third-party cookies

Some cookies are set by third-party services that appear on our pages. We use:

• Google Analytics — usage analytics.
• Google AdSense — advertising delivery.
• Survey providers — to track survey completion and prevent fraud (only set when you start a survey).
• PayPal and payment processors — only when you initiate a payout.

Each third party has its own privacy and cookie policies, which apply when their cookies are used.

4. Managing your cookie preferences

You can control cookies in several ways:

• Our cookie banner: when you first visit, you can accept or reject non-essential cookies. Your preferences are saved and respected on future visits.
• Your browser: most browsers let you view, manage, and delete cookies from the settings menu. You can also block cookies entirely, though this may break some functionality.
• Opt-out tools: for advertising cookies, see the links in section 2.

5. Do Not Track signals

Some browsers transmit "Do Not Track" signals. Because there is no industry consensus on how to interpret these signals, we currently do not respond to them. We do respect the opt-outs you make through our cookie banner and through third-party opt-out tools.

6. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy periodically. The "Last updated" date at the top indicates when changes were last made. Significant changes will be communicated through a notice on our website.
