4. Your Consent and How to Manage It

When you visit the Site for the first time, you will see acookie banner that lets you accept or decline non-essential (analytics)cookies. Strictly necessary cookies are set regardless because the Site cannotfunction without them; this is permitted under applicable law.

‍

You can change your preferences at any time by:

· Clicking the "Cookie Preferences" link in the Sitefooter to re-open the banner.

· Clearing cookies for archireef.co in your browser, which willtrigger the banner again on your next visit.

· Adjusting your browser settings to block or delete cookies (seesection 5).

‍

Declining analytics cookies will not affect your ability to useany feature of the Site — every page, form, and download will continue to work normally.
