Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files that websites can store on your browser or device. They allow a website or its service providers to remember certain information between page views or visits.

Cookies and similar technologies may be used for purposes such as maintaining website functionality, remembering privacy preferences, improving performance, protecting the website and understanding how visitors interact with content.

Similar technologies may include browser storage, tags, pixels or other technical mechanisms that perform functions comparable to cookies.

2. How We Use Cookies

Arostech uses cookies and similar technologies only where reasonably appropriate for the operation, security, management and improvement of our website.

Depending on the technology, your consent preferences and our current website configuration, cookies may be used to:

• Operate essential website functions.
• Maintain security and protect against misuse.
• Remember cookie and privacy preferences.
• Support website functionality and performance.
• Measure general website usage and engagement.
• Understand which pages and content are useful to visitors.
• Diagnose technical or performance issues.

3. Categories of Cookies

Cookies used on arostech.com may fall into one or more of the following categories.

4. CookieAdmin and Consent Management

We use CookieAdmin to provide cookie-consent controls and manage visitor preferences on arostech.com.

The consent interface allows visitors to accept, reject or manage optional cookie categories where those choices are available.

CookieAdmin may store information relating to your consent selection so that the website can remember and respect your preferences. Consent information may also be maintained for appropriate record-keeping and compliance purposes.

You can review or change your cookie preferences using the consent controls available on the website.

5. Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand general usage of arostech.com and to help improve website content, performance and usability.

Depending on your consent choices and our configuration, Google Analytics may process information such as:

• Pages viewed.
• Website interactions and navigation activity.
• Referral information.
• Browser and device information.
• Approximate geographic information.
• Technical measurement information.

We do not use general contact-form submissions to create advertising profiles.

6. Google Consent Mode

Our consent-management configuration may use Google Consent Mode v2 to communicate consent choices to supported Google technologies.

Google technologies can adjust their behaviour based on whether consent has been granted or denied for applicable forms of storage and data use.

Depending on whether basic or advanced Consent Mode is configured, Google tags may either be prevented from loading until consent is granted or may operate in a restricted state and transmit limited cookieless measurement signals when analytics storage has been denied.

Where analytics storage is denied, Google Analytics does not read or write first-party Analytics cookies through Consent Mode.

7. Website Performance and Management Technologies

We use technologies such as SpeedyCache for website caching, performance and optimization and SiteSEO for search engine optimization and website management.

These tools are primarily used for technical administration, optimization and website operation rather than behavioural advertising. Depending on their configuration, they may process limited technical information relating to website or server operation.

8. Advertising and Behavioural Profiling

Arostech does not currently use arostech.com to serve targeted or behavioural advertising based on individual visitor profiles.

If our use of advertising or tracking technologies materially changes, we will update this Cookie Policy and our consent controls as appropriate.

9. Third-Party Technologies

Some cookies or similar technologies may be provided by third-party services used to operate or measure the website.

These providers may process technical information under their own privacy policies and terms. Our current service providers may include providers supporting:

• Website analytics.
• Consent and preference management.
• Website hosting and infrastructure.
• Website security.
• Performance and caching.
• Search engine optimization and website management.

Further information regarding third-party processing is available in our Privacy Policy.

Session Cookies

Session cookies generally remain only for the duration of your browser session and are removed when the browser session ends.

Persistent Cookies

Persistent cookies may remain on your device for a defined period or until they are manually removed.

The duration of individual cookies may change as services, plugins and website configurations are updated.

11. Current Cookie Inventory

The specific cookies used on arostech.com may change from time to time as we update our website, analytics configuration, security tools, performance technologies or other services.

We use cookie-scanning and consent-management tools to help identify and categorize cookies currently active on the website.

Where available, details regarding current cookie categories and individual cookies can be reviewed through the cookie preferences interface presented on arostech.com.

Depending on the options available, you may be able to:

• Accept optional cookies.
• Reject optional cookies.
• Select which optional categories you wish to allow.
• Review or change a previous consent choice.

Changing your preferences will apply to subsequent use of cookies and similar technologies to the extent supported by our consent-management configuration.

13. Browser Controls

Most web browsers also allow you to review, block or delete cookies through browser settings.

Blocking all cookies may affect certain website features or prevent some functionality from operating correctly.

Browser controls operate independently from the consent preferences available through our website.
