Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow that website (and others in some cases) to remember information about your visit — for example, your settings, whether you've already dismissed a banner, or anonymous statistics about how the site is used.

Similar technologies, such as localStorage, pixels, and IP-based fingerprints, perform comparable functions and are covered by the same rules in this policy.

Cookies are commonly classified into four categories: strictly necessary (without which the site cannot function), analytics (which help us understand usage),functional (which improve your experience), and marketing (which are used for advertising or campaigns). We use the same classification below.

The first time you visit arbosfolk.com we show a cookie banner. You can:

• Accept All — allow all cookie categories;
• Only Necessary — allow only strictly necessary cookies;
• Customise — open a preferences panel and toggle individual categories.

Your choice is stored locally on your device under the key arbos_cookie_consent together with a version number and timestamp. We will not show the banner again unless you clear that record, the consent expires (12 months), or we change our cookie practices and need to re-ask.

You can change your preferences at any time:

• Open Cookie Preferences
• Through your browser's "Settings" or "Privacy" menu, where you can delete existing cookies or block new ones.

Strictly necessary cookies cannot be turned off; if you reject them you will not be able to use the Site at all, so the law allows us to set them without consent.

3.1 Strictly necessary

Required for the Site to function. These are set whether or not you give explicit consent.

3.2 Analytics

Help us understand how visitors find and use the Site so we can improve it. Set only with your consent.

3.3 Functional

Used to remember preferences (e.g. a theme choice or dismissed banner) across visits. Set only with your consent.

3.4 Marketing

Used to deliver targeted advertising or to measure campaign effectiveness. Set only with your consent.

Some pages may embed or link to third-party content. Those services may set their own cookies, which are governed by their own cookie policies and consent flows. Examples relevant to this Site:

For a full picture of what data each of these services may process, see the corresponding entries in our Privacy Policy.

Most browsers let you view, manage, and delete cookies through their settings. Common entry points:

• Chrome — Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data.
• Firefox — Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data.
• Safari — Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data.
• Edge — Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies.

We also respect the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal. If your browser or extension sends GPC, we treat it as an opt-out of any sale or sharing of personal data.

For older "Do Not Track" signals, we honour them where reasonably possible, but the W3C DNT specification has been discontinued and is no longer broadly maintained.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. When we make changes that affect the categories or providers we use, we will bump the consent version, which causes the banner to reappear so you can re-confirm your choices. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page always reflects the most recent revision.
