ARM HOLDING
COOKIES POLICY
Website: https://armholding.org
Effective date: [INSERT DATE]
Last updated: [INSERT DATE]
Website operator: [INSERT FULL LEGAL NAME]
1. About This Policy
This Cookies Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies are, which categories the website uses, why they are used, who provides them, how long they operate, and how you can accept, reject or withdraw consent.
The website is operated by [INSERT FULL LEGAL NAME], a [INSERT LEGAL FORM] incorporated in [INSERT JURISDICTION], registration number [INSERT NUMBER], with registered office at [INSERT ADDRESS] (“ARM”, “we”, “us” or “our”). Privacy enquiries may be sent to [INSERT PRIVACY EMAIL/PORTAL].
This Policy forms part of the ARM privacy framework together with the Privacy Policy at [INSERT PRIVACY POLICY URL] and Website Terms of Use at [INSERT TERMS OF USE URL].
2. What Cookies and Similar Technologies Are
A cookie is a small text file stored by a website on a browser or device. It can contain an identifier and other information that the website or the domain that placed it can read later. Session cookies expire when the browser session ends; persistent cookies remain until their stated expiry or deletion.
Similar technologies include local and session storage, software development kits, pixels, web beacons, tags, scripts, device identifiers and server-side measurement. They can store or access information, recognise a browser or device, remember settings, measure use, protect services or support other functions.
A first-party technology is set by armholding.org. A third-party technology is set or accessed by another domain or provider. Third parties may process data under their own privacy terms or as ARM’s contracted processor, depending on the arrangement.
3. The Categories We Use
ARM classifies each technology according to its actual purpose. A provider can supply technologies in more than one category.
| Category | Purpose | Consent position |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Enable core transmission, security, consent records, load balancing and functions requested by the user | Used without optional consent only where legally exempt; cannot be disabled through the consent tool |
| Preferences/functionality | Remember display, language, accessibility, region or other choices | Consent required where applicable unless the storage is strictly necessary for a requested feature |
| Analytics/performance | Measure visits, navigation, errors, performance and aggregate website use | Disabled until consent where required; [INSERT POSITION IN OTHER MARKETS] |
| Advertising/targeting | Build profiles, personalise or measure advertising, track across websites or combine activity | Not used unless [INSERT CONFIRMED POSITION]; prior consent and opt-out mechanisms required where applicable |
| Social media/external content | Enable embedded media, sharing or third-party content that can recognise users | Blocked until consent where required unless activated only by a user’s specific request |
4. How We Ask for and Record Consent
On a user’s first visit, the website must display a consent interface that gives a genuine choice before non-essential technologies are activated. The interface must allow the user to accept all optional technologies, reject all optional technologies, or make granular category choices with comparable prominence and effort.
Silence, continued browsing, pre-ticked boxes or a design that obstructs refusal does not constitute valid consent where affirmative consent is required. Necessary technologies must not be bundled with optional categories.
ARM records the consent choice, policy or vendor-list version, timestamp, region or applicable rule and a pseudonymous consent identifier for [INSERT RETENTION PERIOD]. The consent record itself is treated as strictly necessary to remember and demonstrate the choice.
You can change or withdraw your choices at any time through [INSERT ‘COOKIE SETTINGS’ LINK/CONTROL]. Withdrawal must be as easy as giving consent and will stop future optional access or storage. It does not make earlier consent-based processing unlawful.
5. Technologies Currently Identified on armholding.org
The Website uses the technologies listed below. The register is updated when a provider, purpose or duration changes.
| Name/identifier | Provider | Purpose/category | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| armf-theme | ARM / armholding.org | Preference storage used to remember the selected website theme | [INSERT CONFIRMED DURATION OR ‘UNTIL CLEARED’] |
| G-NTB7S74QVC | Google Analytics / Google LLC | Analytics measurement identifier; this identifier is configuration data and is not itself a cookie | Configuration identifier |
| _ga | Google Analytics / Google LLC | Analytics used to distinguish browsers for statistical measurement | [INSERT CONFIRMED DURATION] |
| _ga_[INSERT PROPERTY SUFFIX] | Google Analytics / Google LLC | Analytics used to maintain session state for the configured property | [INSERT CONFIRMED DURATION] |
| [INSERT CONSENT COOKIE OR STORAGE KEY] | [INSERT PROVIDER] | Strictly necessary storage of consent choices and policy version | [INSERT DURATION] |
| [INSERT ADDITIONAL TECHNOLOGY OR ‘NONE’] | [INSERT PROVIDER] | [INSERT PURPOSE AND CATEGORY] | [INSERT DURATION] |
6. Google Analytics
The Website uses Google Analytics, subject to the consent choice described in section 4, to measure visits and interactions. The service processes information including pages viewed, approximate location derived from IP address, browser and device characteristics, referral source, session information and interaction events.
Google Analytics configuration: measurement ID G-NTB7S74QVC; consent mode [INSERT CONFIGURATION]; IP handling [INSERT CONFIGURATION]; Google signals [ENABLED/DISABLED]; advertising features [ENABLED/DISABLED]; retention [INSERT PERIOD]; user-ID [USED/NOT USED]; server-side tagging [USED/NOT USED]; cross-domain measurement [INSERT DOMAINS OR ‘NOT USED’].
Google’s privacy information is available at [INSERT CURRENT GOOGLE PRIVACY URL]. International-transfer information is provided in the Privacy Policy.
7. Local Storage and Website Preferences
The Website uses the local-storage key “armf-theme” to remember the selected theme. It stores [INSERT CONFIRMED VALUE], is created [INSERT TRIGGER], and remains for [INSERT DURATION OR ‘UNTIL CLEARED’].
8. Third-Party Content and Links
Pages may link to or embed third-party websites, videos, maps, social media, forms or other content. A simple link ordinarily does not place the destination’s cookies before you follow it. Embedded content can allow the third party to collect device and usage information when the page loads.
ARM will identify embedded providers in the register and, where required, block them until consent or use a click-to-activate mechanism. Once you open or activate third-party content, that provider’s cookie and privacy terms apply.
9. Managing Cookies and Similar Technologies
You can manage optional technologies through [INSERT COOKIE SETTINGS LINK]. Your choice applies to the browser and device on which it is made unless the consent system supports cross-device preferences. You may need to choose again after clearing storage, using another browser or device, or when the policy or vendor list materially changes.
Most browsers allow you to view, block or delete cookies and site data. Browser controls differ, and blocking all storage can impair preferences, security or other requested functionality. Instructions are available from the browser provider:
- Google Chrome: [INSERT CURRENT OFFICIAL LINK]
- Microsoft Edge: [INSERT CURRENT OFFICIAL LINK]
- Mozilla Firefox: [INSERT CURRENT OFFICIAL LINK]
- Apple Safari: [INSERT CURRENT OFFICIAL LINK]
- Other browsers: consult the provider’s privacy or settings documentation.
If analytics consent was previously given, withdrawing consent stops future analytics storage and collection from the website but may not automatically delete information already received by a provider. You may use applicable privacy rights described in the Privacy Policy.
10. Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track
Some browsers or extensions transmit Global Privacy Control (GPC) or Do Not Track signals. ARM’s response to GPC: [INSERT CONFIRMED TECHNICAL AND LEGAL POSITION]. Where applicable law treats GPC as a valid opt-out of sale, sharing or targeted advertising, ARM will honour it as required.
There is no universally accepted response standard for all Do Not Track signals. ARM’s response to Do Not Track: [INSERT CONFIRMED POSITION]. This does not affect legally required consent or opt-out controls.
11. Australian and International Cookie Rules
11.1 Australia
Information collected through cookies and similar technologies is handled under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles where they apply. Electronic marketing and related communications are also subject to the Spam Act 2003 (Cth), and representations about consent or tracking remain subject to the Australian Consumer Law.
ARM uses optional analytics, advertising and social-media technologies in accordance with the consent choice described in section 4. Strictly necessary technologies are limited to website operation, security, communications requested by the user and recording privacy choices.
11.2 Other Jurisdictions
Where another jurisdiction requires prior consent before non-essential information is stored on or accessed from a device, ARM activates those technologies only after valid consent. Withdrawal and category controls are available through [INSERT COOKIE SETTINGS LINK].
11.3 Personal Information
Cookie and analytics data can be personal information. The Privacy Policy at [INSERT PRIVACY POLICY URL] explains collection, use, disclosure, overseas recipients, retention, security, access, correction and complaint rights.
12. Retention and Review
Each cookie and similar technology operates for the duration stated in section 5. ARM reviews the register [INSERT REVIEW FREQUENCY] and when code, vendors, tags, embedded content, consent settings or purposes change.
Consent is renewed after [INSERT PERIOD] or when a material change requires a new choice. ARM retains consent records for [INSERT PERIOD].
13. Changes to This Policy
ARM may update this Policy to reflect changes in technologies, vendors, purposes, law or guidance. The revised Policy will state its effective and last-updated dates. ARM will display additional notice or request renewed consent when a change materially affects an existing choice or the law requires it.
