1. WHAT ARE COOKIES?
Cookies are files which are downloaded to your device, for example, when you visit a website. They are useful because they allow ACE and our partners to recognise a user’s device and support the continuity of your experience.
2. HOW DO WE USE COOKIES?
Cookies do lots of different jobs, like letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, and improving your user experience. They can also help to ensure that ads you see online are more relevant to you and your interests.
There are a few different categories of cookies, including:
STRICTLY NECESSARY COOKIES
These cookies are set by ACE or a third party on our behalf, and are essential to enable you to use the basic features of our Services, such as technically delivering content, setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. Without these cookies, services you have asked for e.g. payment, cannot be provided.
OPTIONAL COOKIES
Optional cookies may be “first party cookies” or “third party cookies” as explained in the table below. You can find out more about how to control “Always Active” cookies in Options for managing cookies.
OPTIONAL COOKIE TYPE PURPOSES
First party cookies – these are cookies set by ACE or by a third party on our behalf.
First party functional cookies These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features and content.

If you do not allow these cookies then some or all of these services may not function properly.

If you do not allow these cookies we will not be able to monitor the performance of our Services.
FIRST PARTY TARGETING COOKIES

They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaigns. They remember that you have visited a website and this information may be shared with other organisations such as advertisers. These cookies collect information about your browsing habits in order to make advertising relevant to you and your interests.
THIRD-PARTY COOKIES
These are cookies that are set by a third party or set by ACE at the request of a third party. If you visit the ACE Services and we set a cookie on behalf of a third party, this would be a third-party cookie.

3. OPTIONS FOR MANAGING COOKIES
There are several options available for managing your cookie preferences, depending on the cookie type and your device. Each of the options are described below. Please note that no one option is sufficient to manage all cookies on all devices. Therefore, you may wish to combine one or more options for complete coverage.
BROWSER SETTINGS
You can use your web browser settings to accept, refuse and delete cookies. You can withdraw or modify your consent to our use of cookies at any time, with the exception of strictly necessary cookies (as described above).
CONSENT MANAGEMENT PLATFORM
In addition, ACE participates in the Consent Framework and complies with its specifications and policies. You may view the CMP and access your cookie settings at CMP. The CMP allows you to consent to the setting of optional cookies by us and our third-party partners. Using the CMP, you can manage your preferences in relation to how first party cookies are set according to the category of cookie, as described in Section 2 How do we use cookies? Additionally, third party cookies can be managed according to the purpose for which your data is processed or according to which third-party partners are involved. The CMP also allows us to maintain records of your consent. If you wish to update your consent choices via the CMP, please visit CMP.
As set out above, certain third party optional cookie purposes are described as “Always Active”, however if you do not wish cookie data to be processed for these purposes then you may toggle off the control next to “store and/or access information” on a device in the CMP.
Please note that as with your web browser settings you will not be able to withdraw consent for cookies which are strictly necessary for the Service to operate.
MOBILE IDENTIFIERS
On your mobile device, your operating system may provide you with options to opt out of interest based advertising or to otherwise reset your mobile identifier. This is a unique identifier that can be used to identify a mobile device which works in a similar way to a cookie. For example, you may use the “Limit Ad Tracking” setting (on iOS devices) or a setting to “Opt out of Interest-Based Ads” (on Android) which allows you to limit the use of information about your use of apps for purposes of serving ads targeted to your interests.
COOKIES ON THE ACE DESKTOP APPLICATION
You can withdraw your consent to our use of cookies on ACE’s desktop application at any time. If you no longer wish to receive cookies, navigate to your Account Settings page on desktop to find the control under “Advanced” – “Privacy”. When the control is turned on, it will block cookies from that installation of the ACE desktop application on that computer; if you have ACE installed on more than one machine, or if you re-install the application, then you will need to turn the feature on for each installation. You will need to restart the application for this feature to take effect. Please note that if you set the ACE desktop application to block cookies, then your ACE experience may be affected.
4. UPDATES TO THIS POLICY
We may occasionally make changes to this Policy. When we make material changes to this Policy, we’ll provide you with prominent notice e.g., by displaying a prominent notice within the ACE Service or by sending you an email if you are a user of the ACE Service. We may notify you in advance.
