Cookie Policy

Effective Date: September 19, 2026

This policy explains how Ardcast Services Limited uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website or use our web-based tools.

1. What are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Ardcast Services Limited) are called "first-party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies".

2. Our "Privacy First" Approach

Unlike many technology companies, we do not use cookies for advertising purposes. We do not use tracking pixels, advertising IDs, or third-party marketing cookies.

We only use cookies that are essential for the technical operation of our services, or to help us understand how our tools are performing so we can improve them.

3. Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our website and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas.

Type	Purpose
Authentication	Used to identify you when you log in to our platform so that you can access your account and settings.
Security (CSRF)	Used to prevent Cross-Site Request Forgery attacks. This protects your data when submitting forms on our site.
Load Balancing	Used to distribute traffic across our servers to ensure the website remains fast and responsive.

4. Performance & Analytics

We use these cookies to collect information about how users interact with our website (e.g., which pages are visited most often, or if users get error messages). This helps us improve the performance of our software.

We use privacy-focused analytics that anonymize IP addresses. This data is aggregated and does not identify you individually.

5. Local Storage

In addition to cookies, we may use "Local Storage" (part of your browser's internal storage) to save your preferences.

Theme Settings: To remember if you prefer "Dark Mode" or "Light Mode".
Tool State: If you are using a calculator or converter, we may temporarily save your inputs locally so you don't lose your work if you refresh the page. This data never leaves your device.

6. Managing Your Preferences

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences by adjusting your browser settings.

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. To find out more about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set and how to manage and delete them, visit www.aboutcookies.org.

PLEASE NOTE: If you choose to reject strictly necessary cookies, you may still use our website, but your access to some functionality (such as logging in or saving preferences) may be restricted or impossible.
