Use of cookies

When you visit this Site, you can browse the Site and access information without revealing your identity. In order to improve our Site, we use “cookies” to track your visit. A cookie is a small amount of data that is transferred to your browser by a Web server and can only be read by the server that gave it to you. It functions as your identification card, and enables us to record your passwords, purchases, and preferences. It cannot be executed as code or deliver viruses.

Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies. You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether to accept it.
For some Web pages that require an authorisation or login, cookies are not optional. Users choosing not to accept cookies will probably not be able to access those pages.
Those users using the candidate or client portal facility on this site will receive a cookie. The third party company, using a secure server, encrypts this cookie into an alias so no identifiable information is recorded although through the alias they can track if a user has visited this facility before. At no time is this information used other than in a statistical analysis of all users.

While Affinity Care uses cookies to track your visit to this web site, our Web servers automatically log the IP/Internet address of your computer, we do not generally use this information to identify you personally. However, if you expressly provide consent for Affinity Care to “remember” the unique identifier that you select when you register for various activities on the site, that unique identifier will be stored on a cookie on your computer, linked to your registration information, and your navigation path around the site will be tracked. We associate this data to understand how our site and services are being used so we can understand our customers and improve navigation around the site.
