This Cookie Policy explains how Atomi Systems, Inc. (“ATOMI”, “We”, “Us” or “Our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on https://atomisystems.com, and how You can control them. It supplements Our Privacy Policy, which explains how We process Personal Data in general. Capitalized terms have the meanings given in the Privacy Policy.

You can review or change Your cookie choices at any time:

What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on Your device to remember information about Your visit, such as Your preferences or whether You are signed in. Similar technologies include browser local storage, tags and pixels, and scripts or embedded content from third parties that can read or store information on Your device or send information about Your visit to their provider. In this Policy, “cookies” refers to all of these technologies.

First-party cookies are set by Our website. Third-party cookies are set by other domains, such as Google, when their content or services are loaded on Our pages. Session cookies are deleted when You close Your browser; persistent cookies remain on Your device until they expire or You delete them.

Categories of Cookies We Use

Strictly Necessary: required to provide core website functions, authentication, security, fraud prevention and requested services, and to remember Your display language and Your cookie choices. They cannot be switched off.
Functionality: enable features such as embedded videos (for example YouTube) and other embedded content from third-party platforms, and remember choices You make, such as display preferences. Third-party providers may set their own cookies when these features load.
Analytics: help Us understand website traffic and usage so We can improve the Service, such as through Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics and Our own article view counter.
Marketing: help measure advertising effectiveness and support remarketing, such as through Google Ads or similar advertising tools enabled by ATOMI from time to time.

Defaults by Region

Our website shows a cookie consent banner when You first visit. How non-essential cookies (Functionality, Analytics and Marketing) are handled before You make a choice depends on the region inferred from Your device’s time zone setting:

In the European Union, the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland and Vietnam, and whenever the region cannot be determined, non-essential cookies stay off until You accept them.
In other regions, non-essential cookies are on by default, and You can reject them at any time in the banner or in the cookie settings.

Because the region is inferred from Your time zone setting, it is approximate. Your own choice always takes precedence over the default.

Google tags (Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics and Google Ads) are loaded only when Analytics or Marketing cookies are allowed. We use Google Consent Mode to pass Your choice to Google, so that Google’s services respect which of these categories You have allowed.

We store Your choice in a strictly necessary cookie named atomi_cc for 365 days. After that, or when We make significant changes to the cookies We use, We will ask You again.

You can change or withdraw Your consent at any time with the cookie settings button at the top of this page, or the cookie settings button shown on Our pages after You make a choice. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that took place before. When You switch off a category, We delete the first-party cookies of that category where technically possible; cookies set by third-party domains can only be removed through Your browser settings.

Embedded Videos

Embedded YouTube videos on ATOMI websites are not loaded until You allow Functionality cookies or click to load a specific video. Until then, a placeholder is shown with the video’s thumbnail image, which Your browser loads from YouTube’s image server (i.ytimg.com); like any image request, this sends Your IP address and basic browser information to Google. Once loaded, videos use YouTube’s privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com) where available, and Your browser may send IP address, browser/device information and related playback data to Google. Google’s privacy policy is available at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

Live Chat

The live chat widget on Our website, currently provided by Tawk.to, loads on Our pages so that You can contact Us. Tawk.to may use cookies or local storage needed to operate the chat, and asks for Your consent in the chat window where required. Tawk.to’s privacy policy is available at https://www.tawk.to/privacy-policy.

Records of Your Choices

Each time You make or change a cookie choice, We keep a record of it, identified by a random consent ID that is also shown in the cookie settings. We keep these records only to demonstrate that We obtained and respected Your consent, for 3 years from when they are made. The Privacy Policy describes what each record contains.
