By using the Amicable Site or amicable co-parenting app and agreeing to this Cookie Policy, You consent to our use of cookies in accordance with the terms of this Cookie Policy.

A cookie is a small text file that some websites store via the browser on your computer’s hard drive or other mobile device when you visit or use them. Cookies are widely used in order to make websites and apps work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the website and app. Some expire at the end of your session on the website or app, others will remain on your computer or mobile for a little longer. When you return to websites or apps or visit websites/apps that use the same cookies, these cookies and therefore your browsing device, are recognised. Cookies do lots of different and useful jobs like letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences and generally improving your browsing experience. Cookies can also be used to customise areas of content online to be more relevant to you and your interests. We use cookies on our Amicable Site and amicable co-parenting app to make your browsing experience better. By using the Amicable Site and/or amicable co-parenting app, you accept our use of cookies.

FIRST PARTY COOKIES

First-party cookies are cookies set by the specific website or app you visit i.e. the website displayed in the URL window or the mobile app you open on your mobile device or tablet.

THIRD PARTY COOKIES

Third party cookies are set by third party services that appear on our pages. They are set by the operators of that service and are not in our control. They are set by e.g. Google, Twitter, Facebook and other advertisers or file sharing platforms. They may use the information they obtain from your use of their cookies to track your browser across multiple websites and apps; to build a profile of your web surfing; or, to target advertisements which may be of particular interest to you.

The type of cookies used on websites can be put into 1 of 4 categories, based on the International Chamber of Commerce guide to cookie categories.

  • Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential, as they enable you to move around a website/app and use its features, such as accessing secure areas. Without these cookies, the Amicable Services You have asked for (such as access to secure areas) cannot be provided. These cookies don’t gather information about you that could be used for marketing or remembering where you have been on the internet. These cannot be restricted or blocked.
  • Performance Cookies: These cookies collect information about how you use a website or app, for example which pages you go to most often and if you get any error messages from certain pages. These cookies do not gather information that identifies you. All information these cookies collect is anonymous and is only used to improve how a website works. These cookies are not used to target you with online advertising. Without these cookies we cannot learn how our Amicable Site and app is performing and make relevant improvements that could better your browsing experience. These can be restricted or blocked.
  • Functionality & Profile Cookies: These cookies allow a website or app to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language or the region you are in) and tailor the website to provide enhanced features and content for you. For instance, they remember your login details and allow you to watch videos. They also ensure the onsite marketing and experience is relevant to you. These cookies can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, font and other parts of pages that you can customise. The information these cookies collect may be anonymous and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites and apps. Without these cookies, a website or app cannot remember choices you have previously made or personalise Your browsing experience. These can be restricted or blocked.
  • Targeting Cookies: These cookies gather information about your browsing habits. They remember that you have visited a website or app and share this information with other organisations such as advertisers. They do this in order to provide you with adverts that are more relevant to you and your interests. Although these cookies can track your visits to other websites and apps, they do not usually know who you are. Without these cookies, online advertisements You encounter will be less relevant to you and your interests. These can be restricted or blocked.
