Cookie Statement

Last Updated: June 16, 2026

This Cookie Statement explains how ARK Media, Inc., doing business as RAD Web Marketing ("we," "us," or "our"), uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on radwebmarketing.com (the "Site"). For information on how to update your tracking preferences or exercise your California privacy rights, see our Your Privacy Choices page.

1. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. We also use similar technologies such as local storage, pixels, and tracking scripts. For convenience, we refer to all of these as "cookies" in this statement.

Cookies serve various purposes — some are necessary for the website to function, others help us understand how visitors use our site, and some enable certain marketing or third-party content features. Some are set directly by us ("first-party cookies"), and others are set by services we use ("third-party cookies").

2. Categories of Cookies We Use

2.1 Functional Cookies (Always Active)

These cookies are required for the website to function properly. They cannot be disabled. Functional cookies are used for:

• Remembering your cookie consent preferences
• Maintaining session security
• Ensuring basic site functionality (such as form submissions and contact requests)
• Protecting against spam and abuse

2.2 Statistics Cookies (Loaded After Consent)

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. They are only loaded after you provide consent through our cookie banner.

2.3 Marketing Cookies (Loaded After Consent)

These cookies are used for advertising-related purposes, social media integration, embedded third-party content (such as videos), and other marketing tracking. They are only loaded after you provide consent through our cookie banner.

3. Services Used on This Website

The following services may set cookies or process data when you visit our website. Services in the Statistics and Marketing categories are only loaded after you provide consent.

Functional (Always Active)

• WordPress — Powers the website's content management system. Sets cookies necessary for site operation and logged-in user sessions.
• Complianz — Manages your cookie consent preferences and ensures other tracking technologies wait for your consent.
• Wordfence — Provides security and protection against malicious activity, including login protection and firewall functionality.
• Divi Theme — Manages the visual design and layout of the website.
• Gravity Forms / WPForms — Powers contact and inquiry forms on our website.
• Google reCAPTCHA — Protects our contact forms from spam and automated abuse. (Note: we are evaluating a transition to Cloudflare Turnstile, which provides equivalent protection without third-party tracking.)
• UserWay — Provides accessibility tools to assist visitors with disabilities in navigating the website.

Statistics (Loaded After Consent)

• Google Analytics — Helps us understand how visitors use our website in aggregate (pages visited, time on site, general geographic location, traffic sources). Does not load until you provide consent. Measurement ID: G-H9TPFGDPVX.

Marketing (Loaded After Consent)

• EngageMINT (our CRM and chat platform) — Powers our contact forms, appointment scheduling, and chatbot functionality. May load embedded forms and chat widgets that connect to leadconnectorhq.com, msgsndr.com, and our white-label domain link.engagemint.app. Does not load until you provide consent.
• Google Maps — Embedded maps showing our business location on certain pages. Does not load until you provide consent.
• YouTube — Embedded video content from YouTube. Does not load until you provide consent.
• Meta Pixel (Facebook) — Used for understanding website performance and, if applicable, displaying relevant content. Does not load until you provide consent.
• LinkedIn — Used for embedded LinkedIn content and tracking referrals from LinkedIn. Does not load until you provide consent.

4. Use of AI in Our Services

Some features of our website, including our chatbot, use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to provide responses or assistance. When AI is used to process your input, that processing is subject to the same consent and privacy protections described here and in our Privacy Statement. For more information on how we use AI, see Section 4 of our Privacy Statement.

5. Other Tracking Technologies

Besides cookies, websites can use other technologies for similar purposes, including:

• Web beacons (tracking pixels) — Tiny graphic files used to monitor traffic patterns and measure marketing campaign effectiveness.
• Local storage and session storage — Browser-based storage mechanisms used to remember preferences and improve user experience.
• Server logs — Standard records of website visits maintained by our hosting provider for security and operational purposes.

We treat these technologies under the same consent framework as cookies — non-essential tracking technologies wait for your consent before activating.

6. How to Manage Your Cookie Preferences

You have several options for managing cookies:

6.1 Through Our Consent Management Tool

• View what cookies are stored on your device
• Delete some or all cookies
• Block cookies from specific websites
• Block all cookies (though this may affect website functionality)

For browser-specific instructions, consult your browser's Help documentation:

7. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control

Our website honors Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals from California residents as a request to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, in accordance with the California Privacy Rights Act.

Because there is no industry-wide standard for interpreting Do Not Track (DNT) signals, our website does not respond to DNT specifically. We honor your consent preferences as expressed through our cookie banner and Your Privacy Choices page.

We may update this Cookie Statement from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when it was last revised. Please check this page periodically for updates.
