3. Types of Cookies We Use

These cookies may support language or region preferences, display preferences, form-related preferences, chat or support settings, accessibility preferences, and previously selected website options.
If functional cookies are disabled, certain website features may not work as intended.
Analytics and Statistics Cookies
Analytics and statistics cookies help Atlantic.Net understand how visitors interact with our website and content.
These cookies may collect information such as pages visited, time spent on pages, referring websites, approximate geographic region, browser and device information, website performance data, and error or diagnostic information.
Atlantic.Net may use analytics tools to improve website performance, usability, accessibility, content quality, and service information.

4. Cookies Placed on This Website
Atlantic.Net uses the Complianz plugin for WordPress to manage cookie consent, cookie scanning, regional consent settings, and cookie-policy disclosures.
The specific cookies, purposes, providers, categories, and retention periods detected on this website are generated and maintained by Complianz based on the website’s cookie scan and configuration.
The cookie list below is generated dynamically so it can remain updated when cookies, scripts, plugins, analytics tools, or third-party integrations change.
You can manage your cookie preferences through the cookie banner or preference center available on our website.
Where applicable, you may choose whether to accept, reject, or customize non-essential cookies by category.
You can review or update your consent settings at any time using the consent management tool below.
You have loaded the Cookie Policy without javascript support. On AMP, you can use the manage consent button on the bottom of the page.
You may also manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow users to block cookies, delete cookies, restrict third-party cookies, or receive alerts before cookies are placed.
Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality, login access, customer portal features, support tools, form submissions, security protections, and user experience.
6. Consent by Region
Cookie and privacy requirements may vary depending on where you are located.

Depending on your location, the cookie banner or preference center may provide different options, disclosures, or consent settings.
7. Do Not Track and Browser Signals
Some browsers may send “Do Not Track” or similar signals.
Because there is not a single uniform legal or technical standard for responding to these signals, Atlantic.Net may not respond to all browser-based tracking signals in the same manner.
Where required by applicable law or supported by the website’s consent management configuration, Atlantic.Net may honor legally recognized opt-out preference signals through supported consent tools or browser mechanisms.
