Acorn Media Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies?

A cookie is a small text file, typically made up of letters and numbers, downloaded to your computer when you visit a website. Cookies usually contain the site name, a unique user ID, the duration of the cookie's validity, and a random number.

Cookies cannot normally reveal your identity or personally identifying information. They are used to remember that you have visited a website before and, in some cases, to tailor the site to suit your preferences, such as page layouts or colour schemes.

Most Common Cookies

Session Cookies

Session cookies expire when you close your browser. They are used for purposes such as remembering what you have placed in a shopping basket as you browse or securing access to services like online banking or email.

Persistent Cookies

Persistent cookies remain on your device after you close your browser, allowing websites to remember your preferences, such as language choice or your username.

First and Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set by the website you are visiting. Third-party cookies are set by other websites, often because that site includes content such as advertising from another service.

Exceptions

Some cookies are essential for providing the service you request, such as keeping you logged in or remembering your shopping cart content.
