USE OF COOKIES

To make full use of the personalised features of our website, your computer, tablet or mobile phone needs to accept Cookies, as we can only provide you with certain personalised features of our website by using Cookies.

arbnco use cookies for the following reasons:

1. To estimate our audience size and patterns;
2. To ensure that you are not asked to register twice;
3. To track navigation around our website in order to improve its usability

Cookies are small text files containing information sent by a web server to a web browser, and stored on your computer, tablet or mobile phone when you visit certain web pages. The information is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. This enables the web server to identify and track the web browser.

“Session cookies” keep track of you while you navigate our website, and will be deleted from your computer when you close your browser. “Persistent” cookies enable our website to recognise you when you visit, and they remain stored on your computer until deleted, or until they reach a specified expiry date. We use both “session” and “persistent” cookies on our website. Find out more about cookies here: https://www.aboutcookies.org/

We use Google Analytics to analyse the use of our website. Google Analytics generates statistical and other information about website use by means of cookies, which are stored on users’ computers. The information generated is used to create reports about the use of our website. Find out more here: http://www.google.co.uk/intl/en/policies/privacy/. You will have to select “Analytics” and / or “Performance” from our Cookie Settings Pop-up.

Cookies do not store sensitive information (for example, your name, address or payment details); they simply hold the ‘key’ which, once you have logged in to a website, is associated with this information. However, if you prefer to restrict, block or delete Cookies from our website, or any other website, you can use your browser to do this. Each browser is different, so check the ‘Help’ menu of your particular browser (or your mobile phone’s manual) to learn how to change your Cookie preferences. Most browsers allow you to reject all cookies, whilst some browsers allow you to reject just third-party cookies. Blocking all cookies can have a negative impact upon the usability of many websites, including our website. Therefore, we have some cookies in place that are “Strictly Necessary” for the performance of the website, and providing the service that is the website.
