Cookies are small files, typically letters
and numbers, that are loaded on a visitor's
computer or mobile device when the user accesses
a web site. Cookies are useful because they
allow a web site to recognize a user's device,
thus enhancing the user experience. They
may also be used for other purposes such as web
site statistics, analysis, user activity,
targeted advertising, user preferences, and log
on information (authentication).
Altius IT uses cookies to help us remember and process
e-commerce purchases, understand and save
visitor preferences for future visits, and
compile information about web site traffic and
user interaction so that we may offer better
user experiences. We contract with third-party
service providers to assist us in offering
services and better understanding our web site
visitors.
Types of Cookies
Essential Cookies. Essential
cookies are required for the proper operation of
this web site and, for that reason, cannot be
disabled. These cookies are normally only set as
a result of an action taken by a user such as
changing privacy settings, signing on, etc.
Users may set their browser to alert or block
these cookies but some portions of this web site
may not work. Essential cookies do not
store Personally Identifiable Information (PII).
Functionality Cookies. Functionality
cookies allow our web site to remember choices
that visitors make and may include the visitor's
name, location, language, etc. so that we may
provide the user with a better experience. These

activity on other web sites and they do not
collect information that could be used for
advertising or browsing history.
Analytic Cookies. Analytic and performance cookies
collect information regarding use of this web
site. The types of information gathered
may include pages visited, errors encountered,
etc. Information collected is anonymous
and analytic cookies do not collect information
that can personally identify a visitor.
The information obtained allows us to improve
and enhance our web site and user experience.
Advertising and Measurement Cookies. We use
Google Ads cookies to measure the performance of
our advertising, for example, to understand whether
a visit that began from one of our ads resulted in
an inquiry or a purchase. We do not use cookies to
build advertising profiles about you, and we do not
show you targeted ads on other websites (we do not
use remarketing).

The specific cookies present depend on your consent
choices and may change as our service providers update
their technologies. If you decline cookies or your
browser sends a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal,
analytics and advertising cookies are not set. Your
choice itself is kept in your browser's local storage
rather than in a cookie, so declining sets nothing at all.
Google may also set cookies on its own domains when its analytics and advertising scripts run. Those are controlled by Google, not by Altius IT; see Google’s cookie policy.
