At Bluearf, we use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience across our AI-powered sustainability platform (the “Service”). This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which types we employ, why we use them and how you can control your cookie preferences.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, mobile) when you visit a website. They enable the site to recognise your device, remember your settings and help us understand how you interact with the Service so we can continually improve it.

5. Managing Your Preferences
Most browsers accept cookies automatically, but you can change your browser settings to reject some or all cookies, or to prompt you each time a site wishes to set a cookie. Note that blocking strictly-necessary cookies may impair core functionality such as secure log-in and report generation.

We use Google Analytics to collect standard internet log information and visitor behaviour in an anonymised form. Google stores this information in the United States; it is used to compile statistical reports that help us improve site performance. You can opt out by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
