4. Types of Cookies
The cookies used through the Arkival website may fall into the following categories.

Depending on their purpose and the applicable legal requirements, some functional technologies may operate under an applicable exemption, while others may require your consent.

This may include information such as:
pages viewed;

device or browser information;
approximate location derived from technical information; and
website performance.
We use Squarespace’s website and analytics services, which may use cookies or similar technologies to provide information about website traffic and usage.
Where consent is required for analytics or performance technologies, they will only be used in accordance with the choices available through our cookie controls.
Where applicable law permits certain analytics or statistical technologies to be used without consent, we will comply with the conditions applicable to that exemption, including providing appropriate information and controls where required.

6. Cookie Consent and Your Choices
When you visit the Arkival website, you may be presented with a cookie banner or other privacy controls that allow you to manage the use of cookies and similar technologies.
Where consent is legally required, we will request your consent before the relevant technologies are used.
You may be able to:

manage your cookie preferences.
Cookies and similar technologies that are permitted without consent may still operate where necessary or otherwise permitted by applicable law.
Where required, you can change or withdraw your cookie choices using the cookie preference controls available on our website.
Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before consent was withdrawn.
7. Managing Cookies Through Your Browser

You can therefore use your browser settings to restrict or delete cookies stored on your device.
Blocking certain cookies may affect the operation of the Arkival website. For example, account, checkout, subscription or other functionality may not work correctly if cookies necessary for those services are disabled.
Browser controls operate separately from any cookie preference controls provided directly through the Arkival website.

Where personal data is processed, it will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable UK data protection law.
