We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other websites or third parties. Please read the privacy policies of any site that may collect personal information.

Processing of Minors’ Data

Archeline does not knowingly collect information via the website from individuals under 18. Access/use by minors implies consent of the legal guardian. If we discover a minor used our site without legal guardian approval, we will delete all related personal data.

Our website platform/host

Personal data may be stored/processed in any country where we engage service providers, including the United States or Israel. Such countries may have different data protection rules.

Rectification of inaccurate personal data.
Restriction of processing in specific cases (e.g., you contest accuracy; processing is unlawful and you prefer restriction to deletion; we no longer need the data but you require it for legal claims; you object while we verify overriding legitimate grounds).

Why We Use Cookies

Cookies are small data files that make your browsing easier and more pleasant. They act like “memories” a site keeps, helping it remember your actions and preferences (e.g., language, login).

Most websites you use rely on cookies for essential site functions, performance analytics, and, where you consent, personalized advertising.

What Is Inside a Cookie?

A cookie is a tiny text file set by a website via your browser (e.g., Chrome, Safari, Edge, Firefox). It contains:

the site name (domain) that set it, and
a unique string of numbers/letters.

Session cookies are deleted when you close the browser. Persistent cookies remain for a defined duration.

Cookies do not contain personal information by themselves and are not programs (they cannot damage your device).

What Types of Cookies We Use

A visit to ArchelineGroup.com may place the following categories:

Strictly Necessary Cookies – required for the site to function (security, session integrity, consent logging). These run automatically and do not require consent.
Analytics (Performance & Functionality) – help us understand how the site is used, fix errors, improve UX, and (where applicable) support audience segmentation.
Functionality Cookies – remember your preferences (e.g., language, UI settings).
Personalized Advertising Cookies – enable more relevant advertising and measurement across sites (set only with your consent).

Strictly Necessary (no consent required)

Used for security, load balancing, session management, and remembering your cookie choices.

Cookie	Purpose	Duration
sessionID	Manages your active session	Until browser close
XSRF-TOKEN	Protects forms (anti-CSRF)	Until session end
cookie_consent	Stores your cookie preferences	1 year

We also include non-demographic, non-segmentation traffic measurement and non-personalized ad-serving state here where required for site viability.

Analytics (Performance) & Functionality

Help us understand which pages are most visited, how users navigate, and remember your settings.

Cookie	Purpose	Duration
_ga	Measures site traffic	2 years
_gid	Distinguishes users	24 hours
language	Saves your language preference	1 year
ui_settings	Remembers your UI/display settings	1 year

Some social plugins (e.g., embedded players, login via third parties) may set additional social media cookies to enable content rendering, social login, likes/shares, etc.

Personalized Advertising (only with consent)

Support delivery and measurement of relevant ads and remarketing.

Cookie	Purpose	Duration
ads_id	Tracks ad effectiveness	30 days
remarketing	Enables showing relevant ads on other sites	90 days

Opt-out note: You can manage ad personalization with providers (e.g., Google Ads settings).

Consent Management

By default, only strictly necessary cookies load. All other categories (Analytics, Functionality where non-essential, Personalized Advertising) are used only with your consent via our cookie banner/settings.

You can withdraw or change consent anytime via the Cookie Settings link in the site footer (or your browser controls).

Blocking Cookies in Your Browser

Most browsers accept cookies by default. You can configure your browser to notify you when a cookie is set or to block some/all cookies.
Note: some site sections may not function properly without certain cookies (e.g., login, form submission, security).

For guidance, see your browser’s help pages (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, Opera).

Third-Party Cookies

Third-party cookies (also known as trackers) are set by providers other than the website you are visiting—for analytics, advertising, retargeting, or social media integrations.

Common third-party sources include Facebook, LinkedIn, and Google (e.g., pixels/tags).

Social Plugins

We integrate social plugins from Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn, which may set cookies independently. These providers may build user profiles for advertising, market research, or their own site optimization. If you are logged into these networks during your visit, your activity may be associated with your account.

If you prefer not to be associated, you can log out of those services or disable third-party cookies in your browser settings.

For details on how social networks use data collected via plugins, please refer to their respective policies.

Managing Analytics & Ads

Where we use analytics and ads cookies, you can:

manage consent in our Cookie Settings, and/or
adjust preferences with providers (e.g., Google Ads settings), and/or
use browser-level controls or ad-blocking extensions.

Data, Storage, and Transfers

First-party cookies (set by ArchelineGroup.com) are stored on our hosting provider’s servers.
Third-party cookies are stored by their respective providers (in the EU or the USA, depending on the service).
Some providers may process data outside the EEA. When transfers occur, we seek to rely on appropriate safeguards (e.g., EU Standard Contractual Clauses, Binding Corporate Rules, and additional technical/organizational measures) to ensure an equivalent level of protection as in the EU.

For more about how we handle personal data, see our [Privacy Policy].

Your Choices

Consent/withdrawal: Use the Cookie Settings (footer) to enable/disable categories.
Browser controls: Block or delete cookies at any time.
Ad personalization: Adjust via provider settings and/or your consent choices.
Access & other GDPR rights: See our [Privacy Policy] for exercising your privacy rights.
