How cookies make our website safer and easier to use

We use cookies to safeguard your privacy when you're browsing our website and use secure online application forms. If you leave a secure session window open when logged in to Business cloud and web services, we use cookies to enhance your security by prompting you to end (or automatically ending) your secure session.

Cookies can allow us to tailor the content of our website to suit your interests. For example, instead of displaying promotional messages about products you already have, they let us show you other services you may be interested in.

We use 'analytics' cookies to help us make our website better for those who visit it regularly. They help us work out what users like and don't like and how we can improve things for you.

When we include links to other websites, please bear in mind they will have their own privacy and cookie policies that will govern the use of any information you submit. We recommend you read their policies as ACESY Ltd is not responsible or liable for their privacy practices.

How we work with trusted third parties

Third parties are trusted suppliers to ACESY Ltd. They include our software suppliers, our service providers, partners who provide important functionality to our website, such as our live chat service, and partners who help us improve our website, such as those who provide statistics about which pages are visited most frequently.

We only use cookies from third parties in order to provide our customers with ACESY Ltd’s products and services. The only time cookies would enable us to share personal information such as your name, address, telephone or email is when you have given us express consent to pass it on to a trusted third party - for example, if you were applying for a maintenance service from one of our third-party providers.

The Web Site uses the third-party Cookies detailed in Schedule 2 for the purposes described therein. These Cookies are not integral to the services provided by the Web Site to you and may be blocked at your choosing via your internet browser’s privacy settings or via your response to the request for consent

You will only ever be shown ACESY Ltd-branded advertisements on our website - never those from other companies. Of course, you may see ACESY-branded advertisements when browsing other companies' websites too. Some of these will be general campaign-related adverts but others will be tailored to your likely interests based upon previous web browsing activity - these can be easily identified as they feature a small blue AdChoices icon in the corner of the advert. If you want to opt-out of receiving targeted adverts from ACESY Ltd, please read our FAQs.
