Terms of Service

To provide you the best possible experience, Acclarity’s website makes use of cookies. By accessing our website, whether or not you create an account, you agree to the Cookie Policy laid out on this page — unless your web browser is configured to refuse cookies by default.

Definition and use of cookies

A cookie is a file that your device downloads when you access certain content via a web page, media, or application. Cookies make it possible for a web page or application to store and retrieve information about you and your equipment, and may be used to identify you on the internet.

Because they can only store and retrieve information used by your browser, the information that you have entered in your browser, or that is included in page requests, cookies are safe and will not contain viruses or damage your device.

Certain cookies are strictly necessary for a website or application to work, and rejecting them may impact or severely hamper your ability to use the website or service in question.

Other cookies may be used to retrieve and store information about your navigation, language and setting preferences, or to identify you as a returning user.

As such, cookies are necessary for the internet as we know it to function, as they enable a wide range of perks for services, functionality, and website navigation.

Types of cookies

The cookies that Acclarity uses can be classified based on their duration, source, and purpose.

Based on duration, there are:

Session cookies: as the name implies, these only remain in your browser’s cookie history while you are using our website. They are not stored on your device’s hard drive (or other storage unit) and will disappear when you navigate away from our website or turn your device off. We use the data obtained via these cookies to identify you during a session, and subsequently process your online requests and transactions.

Persistent cookies: these are stored on your device’s hard drive (or, again, another storage unit) and will not expire after you navigate away from our website, close your browser, or turn your device off. Each of them has an expiration date, after which they will go away. Our website uses persistent cookies to enable or improve certain necessary and beneficial functions.

First-party cookies: these are created, sent to your device, and maintained directly by Acclarity. We will use the information we obtain via these cookies to deliver our services to you, and to improve the quality of those services and your experience with us.

Third-party cookies: third-party cookies are dispatched from another website, under Acclarity’s permission. This is generally done with third-party data analytic tools, such as Google Analytics. We will use these tools to improve our services and user experiences. These third-party companies may use their own cookies or tracking technologies to perform their services, and we will not share your data with them.

Purpose-wise, we use:

Necessary cookies: cookies that are vital for the proper functioning of our website and services. For instance, they may let you log into your secure user area.

Preference cookies: these cookies are used to identify your preferences on our website or while using our services. Thanks to them, you won’t have to reconfigure your preferences for each visit; everything will be just as you set it up.

Advertising cookies: advertising cookies serve a dual purpose. First, they are used to deliver ads to you in the most efficient possible manner and according to your established preferences. Second, they are used to collect and store information on your website behavior and activity, making it possible to pick the advertising content that will be displayed to you while you are using Acclarity’s website or services.

Geolocation cookies: used to determine where you are accessing our website and services from, so that we can deliver to you the most adequate content or services possible.

Other third-party cookies: certain pages on the Acclarity website may feature third-party cookies to further enhance your experience.
