3. How We Use Cookies

At Acrein Loop, we believe in a privacy-first approach. We use only essential cookies necessary for website functionality.

3.1 Essential Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for our website to function properly. They enable basic features such as page navigation, access to secure areas, form submission, session management, and security features. Essential cookies cannot be disabled without affecting website functionality, do not collect personally identifiable information, and do not track your browsing behavior or share data with third parties for advertising.

4. What We Do NOT Use

We do not use tracking cookies, marketing or advertising cookies, social media cookies or pixels, or third-party advertising cookies. We do not sell your data to advertisers or allow ad networks on our site.

5. Analytics and Website Measurement

We use privacy-respecting analytics tools that do not use cookies or persistent identifiers, anonymize all data, cannot identify individual visitors, do not track users across websites, are GDPR compliant, and do not sell analytics data. We do not use Google Analytics or similar tracking-heavy platforms.

6. Your Cookie Choices

6.1 Essential Cookies

Since we only use essential cookies required for website functionality, these cannot be disabled without preventing you from using our website effectively.

6.2 Browser Settings

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Note that blocking essential cookies may impact your ability to use our website.

Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data

6.3 Do Not Track

We respect "Do Not Track" (DNT) browser settings. Since we don't track users anyway, enabling DNT won't change our behavior, but we acknowledge your privacy preference.

7. Third-Party Services

We minimize the use of third-party services to protect your privacy. Services we may use include website hosting infrastructure, email services for responding to inquiries, and security services to protect against malicious attacks. We do not allow third-party services to place tracking cookies on your device through our website.

8. Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. When we update this policy, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top. Material changes will be communicated through our website. Continued use of our website constitutes acceptance of updates.

9. Children's Privacy

Our website is not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect data from children. Our minimal cookie usage further ensures that we do not inadvertently collect information from younger users.

10. International Users

10.1 EU Users (GDPR)

Our cookie practices comply with GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive. Our use of essential cookies only means we do not require explicit cookie consent banners for tracking purposes.

10.2 California Users (CCPA)

For California residents: we do not sell personal information, we do not share data for cross-context behavioral advertising, and you have the right to opt-out (though we don't track you anyway).
