Cookies Policy
This Cookies Policy explains how Arviloqecho uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on arviloqecho.cloud, in line with the EU ePrivacy Directive and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognise your browser, remember preferences, and gather anonymised statistics. Cookies do not contain executable code and cannot, by themselves, identify you personally — though combined with other data they may form part of personal information under GDPR.
2. Categories of Cookies We Use
We use a deliberately minimal set of cookies, grouped as follows:
Strictly Necessary Cookies
Required for the Site to function — for example, session continuity, form submission integrity, and load balancing. These cannot be disabled without affecting the basic operation of the Site, and they do not require consent under EU law.
Functional Cookies
Remember choices such as language preference, viewport, or that you have already dismissed the cookie banner. They improve your experience but are not essential. Lifetime: up to 12 months.
Analytics Cookies
Help us understand, in anonymised aggregate, how visitors discover and interact with our editorial and concierge content. We use privacy-respecting analytics that mask IP addresses and do not build cross-site profiles. Lifetime: up to 13 months.
Marketing Cookies
Currently, Arviloqecho does not employ third-party advertising or retargeting cookies. Should this change, you will be asked for explicit consent before any such cookie is placed.

4. Third-Party Cookies
Embedded content — such as the OpenStreetMap iframe on our Contact page or any future video or social embeds — may set cookies controlled by the third party. These providers operate under their own privacy notices, which we encourage you to review. We do not share personal data with them beyond what is technically required to display the content.
5. Your Consent Choices
On your first visit, our cookie banner invites you to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or choose a custom preference per category. Strictly necessary cookies are always active. You may revisit your preferences at any time via the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer banner or by clearing cookies in your browser.
6. Managing Cookies in Your Browser
Most browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies through their settings menu. Useful guides:
- Google Chrome — Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data.
- Apple Safari — Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data.
- Mozilla Firefox — Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data.
- Microsoft Edge — Settings → Cookies and site permissions.
Please note that disabling cookies entirely may impact the functionality of the Site, including form submission and saved preferences.
7. Do Not Track
Where browsers transmit a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal, we honour the spirit of that request: no analytics or functional cookies will be set until explicit consent is obtained.
8. Data Transfers
Our preferred analytics provider hosts data within the European Economic Area. Where any cookie partner is located outside the EEA, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place under the GDPR (Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent).
9. Updates to This Cookies Policy
We review this policy regularly and update it whenever we add, remove, or change cookies in a way that affects your privacy. The "Last updated" date above reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be communicated through a refreshed cookie banner.
