Last Updated: March 18, 2026
1. About this Policy
This Cookies Policy supplements our Privacy Policy and explains how ARKIGEST SRL uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. It describes what these technologies are, why we use them, and how you can control your choices through our on‑site preferences panel. For broader information about how we process personal data, including GDPR rights and contact details, please read our Privacy Policy.
ARKIGEST SRL is an Italian company with its registered office at Via Arrigo Boito, 8, 20121 Milano (MI), Italy. Our educational services are designed for learners located throughout Canada. We use cookies primarily to maintain secure sessions, measure interest in our educational content, and support responsible advertising where you choose to enable it.
2. What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. They are widely used to make websites function, to keep them secure, and to provide reporting information. Cookies may be set by the site you are visiting (first‑party) or by third parties providing services on that site (third‑party). We may also use related technologies such as pixel tags and server‑side identifiers to understand aggregate engagement with our pages and forms in a privacy‑respecting manner.
By lifespan, cookies can be session (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent (stored until they expire or are deleted). By purpose, we group cookies into three categories explained below: Essential, Analytics, and Marketing. Only Essential cookies are set without consent; all others activate only after you choose your preferences in our banner or modal.
3. Cookie categories we use
Essential (no consent required)
These cookies are required for the site to function and to keep your visit secure. They remember your cookie preferences, maintain a simple session for navigation, and protect forms against abuse. You cannot disable Essential cookies because the website would not operate correctly without them.
Analytics (consent)
With your permission, analytics cookies help us understand which pages are visited, how long visitors stay, and what content is most useful. We analyze trends in aggregate to improve program pages, FAQs, and learning resources. Analytics cookies are not set until you opt in through our preferences panel.
Marketing (consent)
With your permission, marketing cookies support responsible advertising, remarketing, and measuring the effectiveness of campaigns about our educational programs. These cookies are also optional and are set only after you opt in. You can change your mind at any time using “Manage cookie preferences” in the footer.

Analytics and Marketing cookies are disabled by default until you choose “Accept All” or enable categories individually. You can revisit your choices at any time by selecting “Manage cookie preferences” in the footer. Your selections are stored in the cookie_consent cookie for up to 12 months.
You may also control cookies through your browser settings by blocking, clearing, or restricting cookies on a per‑site basis. If you delete cookies, you will be asked to set your preferences again on your next visit. Note that blocking Essential cookies may prevent the website from functioning correctly, including form submission and session continuity.
