Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, tablet, mobile phone or other device when you visit a website. Cookies help websites operate, remember your preferences, improve performance and provide information about how visitors use a website. Similar technologies, including pixels, tags, local storage and device identifiers, may be used for comparable purposes.

AWCRA uses cookies and similar technologies to operate and secure our website, enable member login and account functions, remember your choices, understand how the website is used and improve our services. Some cookies may also be set by third-party service providers that support website hosting, security, analytics, payments, embedded content or other website functions.

We may use the following categories of cookies:

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the website to function properly. They may support security, fraud prevention, network management, member login, account access, form submission, payment processing and the storage of your cookie preferences. These cookies cannot normally be switched off through our cookie settings because the website or a service you have requested may not work without them.

3.2 Preference and Functionality Cookies
These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make, such as language, region, display settings or other preferences. They help provide a more personalised and convenient experience. Where consent is legally required, these cookies will not be set unless you accept them.

3.3 Analytics and Performance Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors use the website, including which pages are visited, how visitors move around the website and whether errors occur. We use this information to measure performance and improve the website and our services. Where consent is legally required, analytics cookies will not be set unless you accept them.

3.4 Marketing and Advertising Cookies
These cookies may be used to measure campaigns, limit how often you see an advertisement, build an understanding of your interests or show more relevant content on this or other websites. They may be set by us or by third-party advertising and social media providers. These cookies will not be set unless you give the required consent.

When you first visit our website, you may be shown a cookie banner or preference tool. You can use it to accept or reject optional cookies and to choose which categories you permit. Strictly necessary cookies may be used without consent where permitted by law because they are required to provide the website or a service you have requested. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by selecting the Cookie Settings link on our website.

Some website functions may be provided by third parties, such as payment processors, analytics providers, security services, video or map providers, social media platforms and other embedded services. These third parties may place cookies or use similar technologies when you interact with their services. Their use of information is governed by their own privacy and cookie policies. AWCRA does not control all cookies set by third parties.

Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them. The duration depends on the purpose of the cookie and the provider that sets it. The current cookie settings tool or cookie list on our website should identify the duration of each cookie where applicable.

Most browsers allow you to view, delete, block or restrict cookies through their settings. You can also configure your browser to notify you when a website attempts to place a cookie. Blocking all cookies may affect the operation of the website and may prevent you from logging in, using member services, completing forms or accessing certain features.

Some cookies and similar technologies may collect or generate information that constitutes personal data, such as online identifiers, device information, IP address, browsing activity or account-related information. Where this occurs, we process the information in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable data protection law.

The exact cookies used on the AWCRA website may change when website features, plugins or service providers are added, removed or updated. A current cookie list showing the cookie name, provider, purpose, category and expiry period will be made available through the website cookie settings tool or linked from this Cookie Policy.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our website, the cookies we use, our service providers or applicable legal requirements. Any updated version will be published on this page with a revised effective date.
