What are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that can be placed on your computer or mobile device that uniquely identify your browser or device. They are unable to search your computer in any way, cannot introduce viruses to your computer and contain no personal identifying information about you.

What are cookies used for?

Cookies allow a Site or Service know if your computer or device has visited that site or service before. Cookies can then be used to help verify your login credentials, understand how the site or service is being used, help you navigate between pages efficiently, help remember your preferences, and generally improve your browsing experience.

What types are cookies does the AG AdvantEdge website use?

There are generally four categories of cookies: “Strictly Necessary,” “Performance,” “Functionality,” and “Targeting.” The AG AdvantEdge Global website routinely uses only three categories of cookies on the Service. You can find out more about each cookie category below.

1. Strictly Necessary Cookies. These cookies are essential, as they enable you to move around the Service and use its features. Included in this type are:
   1. Login cookie – so we know that you have the security credentials to use the service
   2. EU cookie policy cookie – after accepting cookies for our site, this keeps the agreement request from coming up again when you return to the site
   3. Terms & Conditions Agreement – after accepting the terms and conditions of use for the website, this keeps the agreement request from coming up again when you return to the site
2. Performance Cookies. These cookies collect information about how you have used the AG AdvantEdge Global website, for example Google Analytics, which is used to track basic user behavior on this site so we can try and improve our users’ experience.
3. Functionality Cookies. These cookies allow us to tailor the Service to provide enhanced features and content for you and to remember how you’ve customized the site or where you are within the search service. These can be “persistent” cookies, but are generally “session” cookies that disappear when you close that internet browser.
4. Targeting Cookies. The AG AdvantEdge Global website does not use targeting or advertising cookies

How long will cookies stay on my device?

The length of time a cookie will stay on your computer or mobile device depends on whether it is a “persistent” or “session” cookie. Session cookies will only stay on your device until you stop browsing. (Example – cookies that keep track of your search selections.) Persistent cookies stay on your computer or mobile device until they expire or are deleted. (Example – login cookie so you don’t have to log in the next time that you visit.)
