Cookie Policy

ArchFrontline uses cookies to make the site work, remember your preferences, and, with your consent, understand how the site is used. This policy explains which cookies we use and how to control them.

What are cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember information about your visit — such as your language choice or whether you are signed in — so you don't have to re-enter it every time.

Categories of cookies we use

Strictly necessary

Required for the site to function. These cannot be switched off. Examples: session cookies (login state), language preference, dark/light theme, cookie consent record itself.

Analytics (optional, opt-in)

Help us understand which articles are read and how readers navigate the site. Data is aggregated and does not identify individual users. These cookies are only set if you consent through the cookie banner.

Marketing / advertising

Not used. ArchFrontline does not run ads and does not set advertising, retargeting, or cross-site tracking cookies. We do not embed social media pixels.

Third-party cookies

We do not embed third-party trackers by default. Occasional embedded content (e.g., a YouTube or Vimeo video within an article) may set its own cookies from the third-party provider. Such embeds are used sparingly and only where editorially relevant.

How long cookies stay

• Session cookies — deleted when you close the browser.
• Preference cookies (language, theme, cookie consent) — up to 12 months.
• Analytics cookies — up to 24 months, if you have consented.

Managing your cookies

You can withdraw or change consent at any time via the Cookie Settings link in the site footer. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings; note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the site from working.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Material changes will be announced on the site.
