Cookie Policy of Arlington Consulting Solution
This document provides information to Users about the technologies that assist this Website in achieving the purposes described below. These technologies enable the Owner to access and store information (such as using a Cookie) or utilize resources (such as running a script) on a User’s device during their interaction with this Website.
For the sake of simplicity, all these technologies are referred to as “Trackers” within this document – unless differentiation is necessary. For instance, while Cookies are usable in both web and mobile browsers, it is inaccurate to discuss Cookies within the context of mobile apps, as they are a browser-specific Tracker. Therefore, in this document, the term Cookies is only used when it specifically refers to this type of Tracker.
Some of the purposes for which Trackers are used may also necessitate the User’s consent. Once given, consent can be freely withdrawn at any time by following the instructions provided in this document.
This Website employs Trackers managed directly by the Owner (so-called “first-party” Trackers) and Trackers that facilitate services provided by a third-party (so-called “third-party” Trackers). Unless otherwise specified within this document, third-party providers may have access to the Trackers managed by them. The validity and expiration periods of Cookies and other similar Trackers may vary depending on the lifetime set by the Owner or the relevant provider. Some may expire upon the termination of the User’s browsing session.
In addition to what’s specified in the descriptions within each of the categories below, Users can find more precise and updated information regarding the lifespan of Trackers, as well as any other relevant details, in the linked privacy policies of the respective third-party providers or by contacting the Owner.
