1. Scope and operator
This notice is issued by The Artifics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“The Artifics”), which operates theartifics.com and guester.co and provides the Guester service; contact: info@theartifics.com. Cookies, local/session storage and similar browser technologies may serve distinct functions on The Artifics and Guester websites, the panel and guest portal. Opening an external link is different from automatically loading an embedded external resource.
2. Strictly necessary technologies
Technologies genuinely required for account sessions, secure login, request verification, abuse prevention and retaining choice records are used only within that necessary scope. Optional analytics or advertising cannot be categorised as necessary. Language/display preferences are assessed against the requested function. A security-related name alone does not create an exemption.
Cloudflare provides connection-security/reverse-proxy services for the panel and backoffice. Security or verification cookies may be generated according to the enabled Cloudflare features; not every cookie in the provider's product catalogue is assumed active here. IP and traffic processing by Cloudflare can involve personal data even without cookies. Website plugins and the product panel have separate inventories.
3. Optional technologies and external content
Measurement, advertising or similar technologies requiring consent must run only after an appropriate separate choice. Refusal of optional processing must not prevent acceptance of the service agreement. Loading maps, remote images or embedded scheduling content may send IP, browser and referrer information to that provider. Transfers can occur without cookies; the provider and function require their own assessment.
Esri ArcGIS, OpenFreeMap and remote image sources may be used on product portal/map screens. Google/TripAdvisor review links and WhatsApp sharing direct users to external services with their own policies. Third-party content on The Artifics and Guester websites must appear in the relevant site inventory; a panel without tracking does not establish that all websites are free of it.
4. Duration and inventory
Session technologies generally end when the relevant tab/session closes; browser session-restoration behaviour may preserve an entry. Persistent technologies end at their configured expiry or deletion. Site-specific entries below explain lifetimes by technology. Website preferences/measurement and product account/security technologies have separate scopes. New tracking or purpose changes require an updated inventory and, where necessary, a fresh choice.
Retaining a choice record does not grant general permission for analytics or advertising. A permission-signalling system such as Google Consent Mode does not itself establish that every external request is blocked; cookieless measurement and third-party connections require separate controls. Not using cookies does not automatically remove a technology from consent/disclosure requirements.
5. Choices, withdrawal and rights
Where a site preference tool is provided, you can enable or disable consent-based categories there; refusal and withdrawal must be as accessible as acceptance. Browser settings allow inspection, deletion and blocking of cookies/local storage. Blocking necessary technologies can affect login or sessions. Removing a cookie does not automatically erase historical server records; a separate personal-data request may be needed.
This notice is not a general permission for international transfers. Applicable processing and transfer conditions are required for external recipients. Purposes, recipients and request routes are described in the Privacy Notice. Viewing the policy or continuing to browse does not constitute consent for technologies that require it.
6. The Artifics website inventory
Preference cookies — WordPress Consent API wp_consent_statistics and wp_consent_marketing records, using the active prefix; first-party, remembering statistics choices and marketing-category status; lifetime 365 days. A choice record is not an advertising profile, and allowing statistics does not enable advertising personalisation.
Google Analytics/Google tags — optional website-use measurement configured through Site Kit. This version’s application setting limits Analytics _ga/_ga_* cookies to 365 days without automatically refreshing the period on visits; actual entries depend on browser/service settings. Page/interaction, connection/browser and measurement information may be sent to Google. Applicable refusal/Global Privacy Control signals are assessed against consent-based processing or sale/sharing conditions. The Google Ads package observed on Guester is not presented as active here merely for that reason.
This site inventory does not include guester_attr campaign storage or a Cal.com demo calendar merely because they are known on the Guester website. Career applications use email; no cookies are listed for a CV-upload form that is not present here. Following an external link subjects you to that service’s browser technologies separately.
7. Choices on The Artifics website
Consent-based statistics require an accept/refuse choice and subsequent withdrawal; silence or continued browsing is not permission. Regional assessment is not used to bypass necessary permissions, and optional measurement must not default on for an unknown region. The footer cookie-preference link allows changing an earlier choice. Withdrawal does not automatically erase previously lawful records; a separate rights request may be made.
