Cookie Policy

Cookies are small files a website stores on your device. Some are needed for the site to work; others measure usage or are set by a third-party feature embedded in a page. The same rules cover other kinds of device storage, not just cookies.

We set one cookie of our own, to remember your choice about the others. Nothing optional loads until you opt in.

Our website analytics is cookieless — it sets no cookies and does not track you between sites, so it needs no consent.

Our booking schedulers are third-party embeds that set cookies when they load. They are off by default. Until you allow the Functional category we show a placeholder in their place and no third-party cookie is set.

Some pages embed none of the third-party features above and set no cookies at all. On those we do not show a consent banner, because there is nothing to consent to. Our conference offer pages under /ippn work this way.

Our checkout is a different matter. It is hosted by Stripe on its own address, so you leave this site to pay. Any cookie set there is Stripe’s and is covered by Stripe’s own policy, not by your choice on this site.

On your first visit to a page that uses them, a banner asks whether to allow optional Functional cookies. Necessary cookies are always on; optional ones stay off until you accept. You can change your mind at any time with “Cookie settings” in the footer, or block and delete cookies in your browser — some features will then not load.

We may update this policy; the date above shows when it was last reviewed. Questions: dpo@thearkhq.com. See also our Privacy Policy.
