1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help websites function, remember choices, improve performance and, where consent is provided, support analytics or advertising features.

2. How Arbitrater uses cookies

Arbitrater uses cookies for necessary purposes including consent management, authentication and platform security. Where consent is provided, we also use analytics cookies to understand how people use the platform.

3. Cookie categories

Cookies on Arbitrater may fall into the following categories:

• Necessary cookies: required for platform operation, security, authentication or consent management.

• Statistics cookies: used to understand how people use Arbitrater, where consent is provided.

4. Advertising and Google Consent Mode

Arbitrater may display advertising served by Google AdSense. Where consent is provided, Google and its advertising partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites.

On the Arbitrater mobile app, advertising is served via Google AdMob rather than AdSense. Google and its advertising partners may use device advertising identifiers (IDFA on iOS, AAID on Android) to serve and measure ads within the app, subject to your consent choices.

Arbitrater uses Google Consent Mode settings to default Google-related analytics and advertising storage to denied unless the relevant consent is provided. This ensures Google's analytics and advertising tools respect users' cookie choices.

You can opt out of personalised advertising at any time via Google's Ads Settings or aboutads.info/choices.
