This Cookie Policy explains how Arvest Partner ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website at arvestpartner.com (the "Site"). This policy provides detailed information about what cookies are, why we use them, the types of cookies we use, how you can control and manage cookies, and your choices regarding cookies. By continuing to use our Site, you consent to our use of cookies in accordance with this Cookie Policy. If you do not agree to our use of cookies, you should adjust your browser settings accordingly or refrain from using our Site. Please note that blocking certain cookies may affect your experience on our Site and limit the functionality we can provide. This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service for a complete understanding of our data practices.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files consisting of letters and numbers that are stored on your browser or device (computer, tablet, smartphone, or other device) when you visit websites. Cookies are widely used across the internet to make websites work more efficiently, remember your preferences, enhance user experience, and provide information to website owners about how visitors interact with their sites. Cookies typically contain the name of the website from which they originate, their storage duration (how long they remain on your device), and a unique value that helps identify your browser. When you return to the same website, your browser sends these cookies back to the website, allowing it to recognize your device and remember information about your previous visits, such as your preferences, settings, and browsing behavior. Cookies perform various essential functions, from enabling basic website functionality to helping website owners understand how visitors use their sites so they can improve content and user experience.
Types of Cookies We Use
We use several different types of cookies on our Site, each serving specific purposes and functions. Essential cookies are strictly necessary for the core functionality of our Site. These cookies enable basic features such as page navigation, access to secure areas, and maintaining security throughout your visit. Without these essential cookies, our Site cannot function properly, and they are automatically placed on your device when you access our Site. Essential cookies do not require your consent as they are necessary for the Site to operate. Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our Site by collecting and reporting information anonymously. These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources, measure and improve the performance of our Site, and identify which pages are most and least popular. We use analytics services, including but not limited to Google Analytics, to help us analyze how users use our Site. Google Analytics generates statistical and other information about website use through cookies, and the information generated is used to create reports about the use of our Site. Google stores this information in accordance with its privacy practices. You can learn more about Google's privacy practices and opt-out of Google Analytics by visiting https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. Preference cookies, also known as functionality cookies, enable our Site to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, personalized features. These cookies may remember your preferences such as display settings, language preferences, or region selections, enhancing your experience and making your future visits more convenient. Session cookies are temporary cookies that expire and are automatically deleted when you close your browser. These cookies enable the Site to link your actions during a single browsing session, allowing you to navigate between pages without having to re-enter information. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period specified in the cookie or until you manually delete them. These cookies help us recognize you as a returning visitor when you come back to our Site, remembering your preferences and settings across multiple sessions. Third-party cookies may be set by service providers we engage to help us operate our Site and understand our audience. These third-party providers, such as analytics services, have their own privacy policies and cookie policies addressing how they use information collected through their cookies. We do not control these third-party cookies, and they are subject to the privacy policies of the respective third parties.
Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies for several legitimate purposes essential to operating our Site and improving user experience. For essential technical operations, cookies enable core Site functionality including secure access, page navigation, and basic features that make the Site usable. For analytics and performance measurement, cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our Site, allowing us to identify popular content, track user engagement, measure traffic patterns, and identify technical issues that need attention. This information enables us to continuously improve our Site and provide more valuable content to our visitors. For preference management, cookies remember your settings and choices, such as any display preferences you may select during your visit, eliminating the need to reconfigure these settings each time you return. For security purposes, cookies help us detect and prevent fraudulent activity, protect user data, and maintain the security and integrity of our Site. For troubleshooting and improvement, cookies assist us in identifying errors, testing new features, and optimizing Site performance based on actual usage patterns.

The following table describes the specific cookies we may use on our Site, though the exact cookies may vary depending on your interactions and settings. Google Analytics cookies include _ga which distinguishes unique users and expires after 2 years, _gid which distinguishes unique users and expires after 24 hours, and _gat which throttles request rates and expires after 1 minute. These cookies collect information about how visitors use our Site, including the number of visitors, where visitors come from, and the pages they visit, and we use this information to compile reports and improve our Site. Session cookies include various cookies that maintain your session state as you navigate between pages, typically expiring when you close your browser. Preference cookies may include cookies that remember any display preferences or settings you select, with expiration periods varying based on the specific preference.

Third-Party Cookies and Services
In addition to our own cookies, we may use various third-party cookies to report usage statistics of the Site and deliver content. Google Analytics is our primary analytics provider, and its cookies help us analyze how users use our Site. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information about your use of our Site, including your IP address, and generates reports about website activity for website operators. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. You can learn more about how Google uses data when you use our Site by visiting https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. Other third-party services we may use include web hosting providers, content delivery networks, and security services, which may set their own cookies as necessary to provide their services. These third-party services have their own privacy policies and cookie policies, and we encourage you to review them for complete information about their data practices.
How Long Do Cookies Last
Cookies on our Site have varying lifespans depending on their purpose. Session cookies are temporary and expire automatically when you close your browser. These cookies enable the Site to link your actions during a single browsing session and are not stored long-term. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period specified in the cookie, which can range from a few minutes to several years, or until you manually delete them. The expiration period for persistent cookies varies based on their function. Analytics cookies typically have expiration periods ranging from 24 hours to 2 years, allowing us to distinguish between new and returning visitors over time. Preference cookies may have expiration periods ranging from a few days to several months, depending on the specific preference being remembered. We periodically review our cookie usage and retention periods to ensure they remain appropriate for their purposes and comply with applicable legal requirements.
How to Control and Manage Cookies
You have the right to control and manage cookies in various ways. Most web browsers provide you with control over cookies through their settings, allowing you to block all cookies, delete existing cookies, set preferences for specific websites, receive notifications when cookies are set, or configure automatic cookie handling according to your preferences. The method for controlling cookies varies by browser, and you can consult your browser's help documentation for specific instructions. For Google Chrome, you can manage cookies by going to Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data. For Mozilla Firefox, visit Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data. For Safari, visit Preferences → Privacy → Cookies and website data. For Microsoft Edge, visit Settings → Site permissions → Cookies and site data.

For analytics cookies specifically, you can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. Additionally, you can use your browser's private or incognito mode, which automatically deletes cookies when you close the browsing session. Please note that blocking or deleting certain cookies may affect your ability to use some features of our Site. While essential functions will remain available, your overall experience may be diminished, and some personalized features may not work as intended. The choices you make regarding cookies are browser-specific, so if you access our Site from multiple devices or browsers, you will need to configure your preferences on each device and browser.
Other Tracking Technologies
In addition to cookies, we may use other similar tracking technologies on our Site. Web beacons, also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs, are small graphic images (typically 1x1 pixels) that may be placed on our Site pages or in emails. Web beacons allow us to count users who have visited certain pages, deliver cookies, and gather usage statistics. These technologies help us understand user engagement and improve our content. Local storage and session storage are HTML5 technologies that allow websites to store information locally on your device. These technologies serve similar purposes to cookies but can store larger amounts of data. We may use local storage to remember your preferences and settings across sessions. Log files, while not a tracking technology placed on your device, record information about your visits to our Site, including IP address, browser type, referring URLs, and pages viewed. We use this information for analytics, security, and troubleshooting purposes.
