Cookie POlicy

Last updated: 12 August 2026

1. What cookies and similar technologies are

Cookies are small text files stored on a visitor’s device. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, pixels, tags and requests sent by embedded services. They may be used to operate and secure a website, remember choices, display third-party functions, measure use or assess advertising campaigns.

This Cookie Policy supplements Artive’s Privacy Policy.

2. How consent works on this website

Necessary and functional technologies may operate without consent when they are required to provide a service requested by the visitor or protect the website. Optional analytics and advertising storage is activated only according to the visitor’s consent selection.

The Hostinger banner allows visitors to accept all, reject optional technologies or choose categories. Hostinger records the selection in the necessary cc_cookie cookie. Google Consent Mode is configured so that, where analytics or advertising storage is denied, Google tags may send limited cookieless consent and measurement signals but should not write analytics or advertising cookies. This explains why a visitor may see Google network requests even after rejecting optional cookies.

The Cal.com booking calendar and Google Maps are embedded third-party functions. The Cal.com embed loads when the visitor scrolls to the booking section and uses functional cookies/storage for security, session and display/booking preferences. It is kept available even when optional analytics and advertising consent is rejected. Google Maps also makes technical requests when displayed.

3. Technologies observed in the current configuration

The following table reflects tests performed on 12 August 2026. Exact names and durations may change when a provider updates its service.

• Google Maps -> Receives technical request information required to display the map -> Current rejection test showed no

• Google cookies/storage, but network requests still occurred -> Google-hosted fonts -> Google receives a request for font resources, including ordinary connection dataLoads as a website resource; consider self-hosting fonts if possible

4. Third-party information

• Cal.com Privacy Policy

• Google Privacy Policy

• How Google uses data from partner sites

5. How to change or withdraw consent

After the footer control has been implemented: visitors can select Cookie settings in the footer to reopen the consent banner and change their choices at any time. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that was lawful before withdrawal.

Visitors can also delete or block cookies through their browser. Browser controls may also remove functional preferences and may prevent the Cal.com calendar, map or other parts of the site from working correctly.

6. Updates

This policy will be reviewed whenever Artive changes its website tools, embeds, analytics, advertising or consent configuration. The cookie table will be updated following material changes.
