Exercising control
Please exercise your choice with respect to accepting or rejecting “cookies” via the pop-up on Acin.com.
In addition to the controls provided on Acin.com via the pop-up, you can choose to block “cookies” by activating the settings on your browser that allow you to refuse the setting of all or some cookies. However, if you use your browser settings to block all “cookies” (including essential “cookies”) you may not be able to access parts of Acin.com. Your browser settings also allow you to delete all “cookies” stored on your device whenever you wish.
Additional information
The UK Information Commissioner’s Office provides the following guidance on controlling “cookies”:
- A number of websites provide detailed information on “cookies”, including AboutCookies.org and AllAboutCookies.org.
- The European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance website Your Online Choices allows you to install opt-out “cookies” across different advertising networks.
- Google has developed a browser add-on to allow users to opt-out of Google Analytics across all websites which use it.
- Some browsers include a feature known as “Do Not Track” or DNT. This allows you to indicate a preference that websites should not track you. However, whilst DNT is available in many browsers, websites are not required to recognise its request, so it may not always work. You can get help on how to use DNT in Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Opera.
- For more information on how private browsing works as well as its limitations, visit the support pages for your browser: Microsoft Edge, Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Safari (IOS (mobile) and desktop).
Additional steps you can take to protect your privacy online
If you are concerned about online tracking then we can recommend you to:
- Set your browser settings to delete all “cookies” every time you close your browser.
- Consider adopting Global Privacy Control;
- Install a privacy-friendly browser on your device, such as Mozilla Firefox, Safari, or Brave;
- Install anti-tracking and ad-blocking plug-ins on that browser, such as Ad Block Plus, Ghostery or PrivacyBadger; and
- Use privacy-friendly web search engines, such as Ecosia or DuckDuckGo.
