01 What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies, such as local storage, work in comparable ways. Together they let a Service remember information between requests, such as your session or your preferences.
We use only the cookies described below. We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles. This policy forms part of, and should be read with, our Privacy Policy.
02 Cookie categories we use
We group cookies into the following categories. Strictly necessary cookies are always active; all others are set only with your consent.
Required for core functionality such as session management, security, and remembering consent choices. Includes the client portal session cookie (client_token) and admin session cookie (admin_token). These cannot be switched off.
Retention: Session, or up to 30 days for authenticated client portal sessions (7 days for admin sessions).
Remember preferences and settings to provide enhanced, personalized functionality.
Retention: Up to 12 months.
Help us understand how the platform is used, in aggregated and privacy-respecting form, so we can improve it.
Retention: Up to 12 months.
Reserved for future use. No marketing cookies are currently set. If introduced, they will only run with explicit consent.
Retention: Not applicable; currently disabled.
The Platform uses two authenticated session cookies, both of which are strictly necessary:
- admin_token: set when an administrator logs in to the admin dashboard. It is httpOnly, Secure, SameSite=Strict, and expires after 7 days. It is never accessible to client-side scripts and is scoped to the admin dashboard only.
- client_token: set when a Client User authenticates to the Client Portal. It is httpOnly, Secure, SameSite=Lax, and expires after 30 days. It is scoped to the Client Portal only.
03 Consent management
For any non-essential cookie, we ask for your consent before it is set, in line with the AVG / GDPR and applicable e-privacy rules. Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent because the Service cannot function without them.
When consent is needed, you can accept or decline each optional category. Your choice is remembered using a strictly necessary cookie so that we do not ask again unnecessarily.
04 Withdrawing consent
You can withdraw your consent at any time, with the same ease as giving it. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.
- Update your choices wherever the Service presents its cookie preferences.
- Clear cookies through your browser settings, as described in section 5.
- Contact legal@arcnode.dev if you need help exercising this right.
05 Managing cookies in your browser
Most browsers let you view, block, or delete cookies through their settings. You can usually choose to be warned before a cookie is stored, or to refuse cookies entirely.
Blocking necessary cookies
Strictly necessary cookies keep core features such as sessions and security working. If you block them, parts of the Arcnode Network Platform at arcnode.dev may not function as intended.
06 Changes to this policy
We may update this policy if the cookies we use change or when required by law. The effective date above reflects the current version. Where a change affects optional cookies, we will ask for your consent again where required.
