What are cookies, and why does AAHP/DVT use them?

Cookies are text files, containing small amounts of information, that are downloaded to your browsing device (such as a computer, mobile device or smartphone) when you visit some websites, including the AAHP/DVT website.

Cookies help websites know if the browsing device has visited them previously and help improve the functionality of the services provided on the website. For example, every time you visit such a site you can be logged in automatically, and the website will remember your preferences. Some cookies are associated with your account and personal information, while others are not.

Both first-party cookies and third-party cookies (described below) can serve a number of different functions, such as tracking, marketing and directed advertising. In addition to using cookies we may also use other automated means of data collection similar to cookies, such as “clear gifs”, flash cookies and pixels, and when we refer to cookies in this Cookie Policy we’re referring to cookies and such other automated means.

 

What are the different types of cookies?

AAHP/DVT uses both “first-party cookies” and “third-party cookies”. First-party cookies are cookies that belong to AAHP/DVT , whereas third-party cookies are cookies that another party places on your browsing device through our website. Third-party cookies will generally be providing a service to AAHP/DVT, but we cannot control how those third-party cookies are used. Please visit the third-party’s website for more information on how they use cookies. In addition, please note that the parties that set third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits our website and when it visits certain other websites or mobile applications.

In addition, AAHP/DVT may use both “sessions cookies” and “persistent cookies”. Session cookies are only stored on your device during a single browsing session to the site and are automatically deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device until they are set to expire or until you or your browser delete the cookies.

For these purposes, AAHP/DVT may use the following categories of cookies on our website:

  • Mandatory Cookies. These enable you to move around this site and use its features. Without these cookies, services that are necessary for you to be able to use our website, such as ensuring that you stay logged on or remembering what is in your shopping basket, cannot be provided.
  • Tracking Cookies. These cookies collect information about how visitors use the website, such as which pages visitors go to most often and if they receive error messages from web pages. Please note that when at the AAHP/DVT website, it is possible that third-party services may place their own cookies on your browser, and such services can only be used if their cookies are not disabled. As a result, the specific cookies cannot be disabled.
  • Third-Party Cookies. These cookies that are placed on your browsing device by a third-party can be managed by checking the third-party’s website for more information about cookie management and how to “opt-out” of receiving cookies from them.

Please note that if you set your browser to disable cookies entirely you will not be able to access secure areas of the AAHP/DVT website and may experience some or total loss of function in the services we provide.

 

Controls for Do-Not-Track Features

Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems, and our mobile applications, may include a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected.

No uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, AAHP/DVT does not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this privacy policy. If you set the DNT signal on your browser, we will respond to such DNT browser signals. However, please know that this action may interfere with or disable our product and service delivery to you.

Internet-based Advertising

AAHP/DVT may use third-party software to serve ads on the AAHP/DVT website and other AAHP/DVT company-owned-owned platforms online, implement email marketing campaigns, and manage other interactive marketing initiatives. This third-party software may use cookies or similar tracking technology to help manage and optimize all User’s online experience with us.

By accessing the AAHP/DVT website and other AAHP/DVT company-owned content online, you consent to the collection and use of your information by these third-party vendors. You are encouraged to review their privacy policy and contact them directly for responses to your questions. We do not transfer personal information to these third-party vendors.
