Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, to work more efficiently, and to provide information to site operators. Cookies do not typically identify you personally — they recognize your browser or device.

2. How We Use Cookies

Open Arbitration (openarbitration.org), operated by Make Sure It Happens Inc., uses cookies and similar technologies for the purposes described below.

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are required for the website to function. They enable core features such as page navigation, secure form submission, and session management. You cannot opt out of these cookies, as the site cannot function properly without them.

Analytics cookies

We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with the site — which pages are visited, how long visitors stay, and where traffic originates. This information is used in aggregate to improve the site. We use privacy-respecting analytics tools that do not build advertising profiles or share data with third parties for marketing purposes.

Preference cookies

These cookies remember choices you make on the site, such as display preferences or acknowledged notices, so you do not have to re-enter them on future visits.

3. Cookies We Do Not Use

We do not use:

• Advertising or tracking cookies for behavioral targeting
• Cross-site tracking technologies
• Social media tracking pixels
• Cookies that sell or share your data with data brokers

4. Third-Party Cookies

Some features of the site may be provided by third parties (for example, embedded video players or external analytics services). These third parties may set their own cookies subject to their own privacy policies. We limit third-party services to those with appropriate data-protection commitments.

5. Managing Cookies

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

• View the cookies currently set on your device
• Block cookies from specific sites
• Block third-party cookies
• Clear all cookies when you close your browser

Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of this and many other websites. For instructions specific to your browser, visit the browser’s help pages or a resource such as allaboutcookies.org.

6. Do Not Track

Some browsers send a “Do Not Track” signal to websites. We honor Do Not Track signals by not using analytics cookies when this signal is detected.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
