What are Cookies?
A Cookie is a small amount of data that is sent to your browser and stored on your computer’s or mobile device’s hard drive. The purpose of the installation of Cookies depends on the type of Cookies installed in your browser. Some Cookies record your activity on the Website while others are essential for the operation of the Website. In addition, other Cookies may deliver personalized advertisements through the Website or display interactive videos and graphics within the Website.
Cookies set by the website (in this case, Accio) are called "First-Party Cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "Third-Party Cookies". Third-Party Cookies enable third party’s features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., like advertising, interactive content and analytics). The parties that set these Third-Party Cookies can recognize your device both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.
Cookies can also be categorized as session Cookies (which are erased once you close the browser or shut down the device) and persistent Cookies (which remain even after closing the browser or shutting down the device/application and which are activated each time you visit the website). The session Cookies use encrypted data to authenticate you. The persistent Cookies do not store account numbers or passwords. We use both session Cookies and persistent Cookies.
Why do we use Cookies?
We use First-Party Cookies and Third-Party Cookies for several reasons. Some Cookies are required for technical and/or security reasons in order for our Website to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" Cookies. First-Party Cookies are mainly served to enable basic functionality on our Website, including web analytics Cookies that help us understand how users use our web pages and how we can improve their use. For example, we use personalisation (functionality) Cookies to enable us to recognize you when you sign into your Accio account.
In addition, we also use social media Cookies. You may register for the Website membership and "share" the Website content through social media such as Facebook and LinkedIn. The aforementioned actions may entail the use of the relevant Third-Party Cookies. These websites have their own privacy policies which govern their use of information, which you can find on the respective websites.
We may also use Cookies to enable us to track and target your interests of the Website visitors to enhance the experience on our Website by researching visiting patterns and conduct interest-based advertising; assisting our partners to track user visits to the Website; and to track progress and participation in promotions. We use First-Party Cookies and Third-Party Cookies for these purposes.

What about other tracking technologies, like web beacons?
Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to our Website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs"). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognize when someone has visited our Website or opened an e-mail that we have sent them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within our Website to another, to deliver or communicate with Cookies, to understand whether you have come to our Website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of e-mail marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on Cookies to function properly, and so declining Cookies will impair their functioning.
How can I control Cookies?

As the means by which you can refuse Cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser-to-browser, you should visit your browser's help menu for more information. If you adjust the privacy setting in the browser, your mobile device will continue collecting data unless you adjust the privacy setting of the device, and vice versa. If you choose to set your web browser controls to reject Cookies, you may still use our website though your access to some functionality and areas of our website may be restricted.
In addition, most advertising networks offer you a way to opt out of targeted advertising.
