How the Acorn Capital Advisers Website Utilises Cookies and Similar Technologies
This Cookies Notice explains how Acorn Capital Advisers Limited (we, us, or our) use cookies and similar technologies to recognise you when you visit our website at www.acorncapitaladvisers.com. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
We may collect information about your computer, including where available your IP address, operating system and browser type, for analytical purposes and to help us develop and improve the Website. This is statistical data about our users’ browsing actions and patterns; it does not identify any specific individuals.
The Website also uses ‘cookie’ technology. Cookies are small text files stored on your computer by your browser. They are used for many things, such as remembering who you are when you progress from one page on the Website to another or to help us work out how many new visitors we get on the Website each month. They contain information about the use of your computer but don’t include personal information about you (they don’t store your name, for instance). If we combine the information obtained using cookies or similar technologies with other personal information, our Privacy Notice [linked here] will apply.
Session cookies are stored temporarily in memory, not retained after a user’s browsing session ends and do not obtain information from the user’s device. On the other hand, persistent cookies remain on your device in the browser’s subfolder, are activated again once you visit the website that created the particular cookie and remain for the duration set in the cookie’s file.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case Acorn Capital Advisers Limited) are called “first party cookies”. Cookie set by parties other than the website owner are called “third party cookies”. Third party cookies enable third party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (for example, interactive content and analytics). The parties that set these third party cookies can recognise your computer when it visits the website in question and when it visits certain other websites.
When you visit the Website, an information bar is displayed at the top or bottom of the page (the Cookies Bar). This alerts you to the fact that the Website uses cookies. At this stage, we only place cookies that are strictly necessary for the website to function. You may consent to the placement of additional cookies using the tick boxes in the Cookies Bar. Once consent is obtained, it is not necessary to obtain it again for the same user each time the same cookie is used in the future although you may update your preferences at any time.
