Cookie Policy for Microsoft Teams Information Hub

This Cookie Policy explains how Aria Technologies ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on our Microsoft Teams information hub website. It outlines what cookies are, the types of cookies we use, how we use them, and your options for managing cookies.

What are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the website. Cookies can store various types of information, including your preferences, login details, and browsing activity.

Types of Cookies Used

We use the following types of cookies on our Microsoft Teams information hub:

Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential for the operation of our website. They enable you to navigate the site and use its features, such as accessing secure areas. Without these cookies, services you have asked for, like shopping baskets or e-billing, cannot be provided.
Performance Cookies: These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, for example, which pages visitors go to most often, and if they get error messages from web pages. These cookies don't collect information that identifies a visitor. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. It is only used to improve how our website works.
Functionality Cookies: These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. For instance, a website may be able to provide you with local weather reports or traffic news by storing in a cookie the region in which you are currently located. These cookies can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts and other parts of web pages that you can customize. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
Targeting or Advertising Cookies: These cookies are used to deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaign. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator’s permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations such as advertisers. Quite often targeting or advertising cookies will be linked to site functionality provided by the other organization. Currently, we do not utilize targeting or advertising cookies.

How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for the following purposes:

To ensure the website functions properly.
To improve the user experience by remembering your preferences.
To analyze website traffic and usage patterns.
To personalize content and features.
To provide relevant information about Microsoft Teams features, benefits, and use cases.

For example, we might use a cookie to remember your preferred language setting, so you don't have to select it every time you visit our website. We also use cookies to track which pages are most popular, so we can focus on creating more content that our users find valuable.
