What it is

VWO assigns each visitor a unique identifier stored in a cookie on the arlo.com domain for 366 days, which is used to track your behavior across multiple visits and sessions for analytics and A/B testing purposes.

This analysis describes what Arlo's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

A persistent 366-day tracking cookie means your browsing behavior on Arlo's site can be linked across visits for over a year, enabling longitudinal profiling of your product interests, purchase patterns, and site engagement.

Interpretive note: Whether consent gating is properly implemented for this cookie depends on the OneTrust configuration, which is not fully visible in this document; the practical enforcement of consent requirements depends on jurisdiction.
