Cookie definition

A cookie is a small file containing a string of characters that is sent to your computer when you visit a website. The next time you visit the website, the cookie enables the site to recognize your browser. Cookies may store user preferences and other information.

Cookies can offer convenience for the user to save time by telling the web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you visit a website that offers personalization the cookie can recall your settings so you don't have to make selections again.

Cookies set by the Acmeware website are called "first-party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies". Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g. like advertising, interactive content and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.

Other cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our website. For example, we keep track of the Acmeware website pages you and other visitors visit to determine which pages offer the most helpful and applicable content. We may also use that data to deliver content that's customized or better fits our web users' needs. Third parties serve cookies through our website for advertising, analytics and other purposes.

COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)

When it comes to the collection of personal information from children under 13, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The Federal Trade Commission, the nation’s consumer protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children’s privacy and safety online. Acmeware does not specifically market to children under 13.

Fair Information Practices

The Fair Information Practices principles form the backbone of privacy law in the United States and globally, and the concepts they include have played a significant role in the development of data protection laws. Understanding the Fair Information Practice principles and how they should be implemented is critical to comply with the various privacy laws that protect personal information. Acmeware, in order to follow Fair Information Practices, will notify all affected users via email within 30 days should a data breach occur.
