What are cookies?

A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your computer or mobile device when you visit the site.

  • First party cookies are cookies set by the website you are visiting. Only that website can read them. In addition, a website might potentially use external services, which also set their own cookies, known as third-party cookies.
  • Persistent cookies are cookies saved on your computer and that are not deleted automatically when you quit your browser, unlike a session cookie, which is deleted when you quit your browser.

Every time you visit the websites managed by the AEMH, you will be prompted to accept or refuse/dismiss cookies.

The purpose is to enable the site to remember your preferences (eg. user name, language, etc., when applicable) for a certain period of time.

That way, you do not have to re-enter them when browsing around the site during the same visit.

Cookies can also be used to establish anonymised statistics about the browsing experience on our sites.

How do we use cookies?

The websites managed by the AEMH mostly use first-party cookies. These are cookies set and controlled by the AEMH, not by any external organisation.

However, to view some of our pages, you will have to accept cookies from external organisations.

The 3 types of first-party cookie we can use are to:

store visitor preferences
make our websites operational
gather analytics data (about user behaviour).

1. Visitor preferences

These cookies are set to remember the visitor preference about the cookies set in preferences. They remember if you agreed or refused this website’s cookie policy.

2. There are some cookies that we have to include in order for certain web pages to function. For this reason, they do not require your consent.

3. Analytics cookies
We use these purely for internal research on how we can improve the service we provide for all our users.

The cookies simply assess how you interact with our website – as an anonymous user (they data gathered does not identify you personally). There also can be third-party cookies, used by us in order to let you have displayed content from different third-party providers (like, but not limited to, youtube, facebook etc.). These third-party services are outside of the control of AEMH. Providers may, at any time, change their terms of service, purpose and use of cookies, etc.

However, you are free to refuse these types of cookies.
