What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small amount of data, which often includes an anonymous unique identifier that is sent to your browser from a website's computer and stored on your computer's hard drive. Each website can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser's preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a web site to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other sites.
Many sites do this whenever a user visits their website in order to track online traffic flows.
Cookies record information about your online preferences. Users have the opportunity to set their computers to accept all cookies, to notify them when a cookie is issued, or not to receive cookies at any time. The last of these, of course, means that certain member services cannot then be provided to that user user and accordingly you may not be able to take full advantage of all of the ACB website features. Each browser is different, so check the "Help" menu of your browser to learn how to change your cookie preferences.
Use and storage of your personal information
When you supply any personal information to the ACB website (e.g. name and email address) we have legal obligations towards you in the way we use such data. Such data will only be needed to advise other members and the public to enable contact possible business contact to be made as set out by the aims of the website.
In general, any information you provide to the ACB will only be used within the ACB and by its agents, members and service providers (Note - Members have elected to make available their public commercial details to be viewed by all visitors to the site). Your information will be disclosed where we are obliged or permitted by law. Also, if you post or send offensive, inappropriate or objectionable content anywhere on or to the ACB website or otherwise engage in any disruptive behaviour on the ACB website, the ACB can use whatever information that is available to it about you to stop such behaviour.
We will hold your personal information on our systems for as long as you use the service you have requested, and remove it in the event that the purpose has been met, or, in the case of the ACB website membership you no longer wish to continue your registration as a ACB website member. Where personal information is held for people who are not yet registered but have taken part in other ACB website services (e.g. consultants), that information will be held as long as is necessary to ensure that the service is run smoothly. We will ensure that all personal information supplied is held securely.
