Effective date: 1 November 2026 Applies to: the Niu application and website operated by ARA Automated Solutions.
We keep this deliberately minimal. We currently use only what the service needs to work, plus one preference setting. We do not use advertising or third-party tracking cookies.
| Type | What it is | Purpose | Lasts |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | A signed session cookie set when you log in | Keeps you signed in securely and protects your session | Until you sign out or the session expires |
| Preference (local storage) | Your light/dark theme choice (niu-theme), stored in your browser | Remembers how you like the dashboard to look | Until you clear your browser storage |
The session cookie is essential — the service can't keep you securely logged in without it, so it isn't optional. The theme preference stays in your own browser and is never sent to us or anyone else.
You can clear or block cookies in your browser settings. If you block the strictly necessary session cookie, you won't be able to stay logged in.
If we add any new cookie or tracking technology (for example website analytics), we will update this notice first and, where the law requires it, ask for your consent to non-essential cookies.
