Understanding how and why we use cookies
We use cookies on our site (acolytescience.co.uk, acolyte.co.uk and any sub-domain e.g. shop.acolytescience.co.uk ) to create the most secure and effective website possible for our customers. and where these are used they help to provide effective access to specialist areas of a site - such as remembering who you are and avoiding having to type in delivery or billing address details more than once.
As you may be aware, recent legislation requires websites to gain visitors' consent to use certain cookies. We're working to implement appropriate changes to our website as soon as possible.
For the present we will assume that if you have a valid member registration (login account) that you do consent to the use of such cookies within the appropriate area of the site.
Do cookies mean I could get cold calls or junk mail?
No. We never use any data gathered through cookies to contact you via post, email or phone. We may use cookies to show you suitably tailored content on our site of things we think you might be interested in, but only in relation to Acolyte products and services.
Can cookies pass on my personal information to others?
Cookies generated from our pages do not contain personal information and we never sell, share or pass on information from our site, except where required by law.
Do cookies compromise my security when I'm logged on?
The cookies we use are regarded as safe and secure and are used purely to provide routing and security features within the site.
What about Google?
Some of our sites do set cookies initiated by the well known Google Analytics schemes. When someone visits one of our websites coded with a Google Analytics Tracking Code, that website sets four first-party cookies on the visitor’s computer automatically. Google Analytics is a trending and analysis tool, not an accounting program or a report of your server logs. It relies on data collection via javascript and cookie placements to provide aggregated (anonymous) data on site usage and is not designed to impact security or privacy in any way.
