This Cookie Policy explains how ARPHost, LLC (“Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our“) uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website at https://www.arphost.com (“Website“). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
In some cases we may use cookies to collect personal information, or that becomes personal information if we combine it with other information.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, ARPHost, LLC) are called “first-party cookies.” Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called “third-party cookies.” Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.
Why do we use cookies?
We use cookies for a few reasons. Some are strictly necessary or functional: they keep our website secure and working properly, and remember choices such as your preferred theme. Others help us understand how visitors use our website (analytics) and measure the results of our advertising (advertising). The specific cookies we use are listed in the table below.
Cookies we use
The table below lists the cookies and similar technologies (such as your browser’s local storage) used on our website, grouped by the service that sets them. Where a cookie name ends in an asterisk (*), the remaining characters vary.

|---|---|---|---|---|

How can I control cookies?
Cookies are set when you use our website, as explained in the cookie notice shown on your first visit. You can block or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings (see below). We honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals: if your browser sends one, we treat it as a request to opt out of the sharing of your personal information for advertising. You can also opt out of Google Analytics with Google’s browser add-on, and manage Google ad personalization in your Google account’s ad settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect how parts of our website work.
How can I control cookies on my browser?
As the means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser to browser, you should visit your browser’s help menu for more information. The following is information about how to manage cookies on the most popular browsers:

What about other tracking technologies, like web beacons?
Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called “tracking pixels” or “clear gifs”). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enables us to recognize when someone has visited our Website or opened an email including them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within a website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to the website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of email marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.
Do you serve targeted advertising?
We do not display third-party advertising on our website. We do advertise ARPHost services through Google Ads, and we use Google Ads cookies and tags to measure which ads lead to visits and sign-ups and to show our ads to people who have previously visited our website. Under some US state privacy laws, this may be considered “sharing” personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. To opt out, you can block or delete cookies in your browser, enable Global Privacy Control, or adjust your ad personalization settings in your Google account.
How often will you update this Cookie Policy?
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please therefore revisit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
The date at the top of this Cookie Policy indicates when it was last updated.
