What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small pieces of data stored by a website on your computer. Like many other sites, we use cookies to optimize your browsing experience. They allow us to maintain user preferences, provide reporting information, and personalize your content and experience. For example, if you have previously logged into your Arc account on your device, a cookie is what allows us to log you in automatically the next time you visit!
Why Do We Use Cookies?
We use cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for proper usage of our Websites and Services, which we refer to as “necessary” cookies. These cookies help us remember your preference for tools on our site.
Other cookies enable us and the third parties we work with to gather statistics by tracking the actions of visitors to our Site. A portion of these cookies are used for advertising purposes, as they allow us to track and target visitor interests. In addition, third parties also serve cookies through our Websites and Services for advertising, analytics, and other purposes, as described in more detail below.

Necessary Cookies
When you register for an account with Arc, we generate cookies that let us know whether you are signed in or not.
Our servers use these cookies to work out which account you are signed in with and recognize you on returning visits. It also allows us to associate any requests, posts, and comments you post with your username.
While you are signed into our site, we combine information from these cookies with analytics cookies, which can be used to identify which pages you have seen on Arc.

Analytics Cookies
Every time someone visits our website, an “anonymous analytics cookie” is generated.
These cookies tell us whether or not you have visited the site before. Your browser will tell us if you have these cookies, and, if you don’t, we generate new ones.
This allows us to track how many individual users we have, how often they visit the site, how our website is being used, and helps us customize our website for you and enhance your experience.
Without signing into the Sites, these cookies only identify devices. Logging in is what allows us to associate the data gathered by the “anonymous analytics cookie” to the specific user data tied to your Arc account, such as your username and email address.

Arc uses various third-party tools and services to allow you to have a more personalized experience, and also enable features like social sharing. These third-party tools and services are primarily used for the following purposes:
