ALO Management Ltd. Cookie Policy


Currently ALO Management do not use cookies for tracking site use or for advertising.  Cookies that are used are part of the functionality of the site, remembering previous visits, information entered and preferences.  The the company that host our web site may also use certain cookies to help with functionality, please visit their explanation of cookies for information https://www.aaisp.net.uk/kb-broadband-cookies.html.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files containing a string of characters that can be placed on your computer or mobile device that uniquely identify your browser or device. What are cookies used for?

Cookies allow a site or services to know if your computer or device has visited that site or service before. Cookies can then be used to help 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. Cookies make the functionality of the web site smooth and hassle-free to the user.


Cookies don’t search your computer for information. Cookies register the information you provide through your browser. When you enter personal and/or financial information on a website, the cookies store your information, both for ease of use on your next visit, and for ad tracking.  Information stored by cookies is usually encoded; it is protected from potential computer hackers by security features.


Cookies are necessary and enhance your browsing experience. Without cookies, you would have to reenter all of your information every time you revisited a site. A cookie will simply remember your information on the website to save you time.


Cookies only store the information you provide. A cookie cannot “grab” your email address. A cookie can store your email address on the website—if you have typed in your email address; a cookie stores all information you voluntarily give when you visit a website.


Cookies themselves contain very little information other than the URL of the website that created the cookie. Because there is so little information, a cookie can’t be used to identify you by name or other personal information. However, advances in technology have seen an increase in how companies can manipulate cookie information to create a profile of your web surfing habits. Again, this is a profile of a particular consumer’s surfing habits and product preferences, there is no name (your name) attached to the profile.

Cookies are harmless. They cannot introduce viruses on your computer.

Cookies are not the same thing as Spyware. A cookie stores your website surfing information; Spyware stores your Internet surfing information (every site you visit).


Without cookies browsing web sites on the internet becomes more onerous, but your browser settings can be changed to allow you to block cookies.  Each browser may be slightly different but in Windows Explorer – Tools – Internet Options – Privacy and you can set the level or turn off Cookies altogether. You can also delete the existing cookies held on your computer by deleting the browser history within -Internet Options – General.  More information on blocking cookies can be found at http://www.aboutcookies.org/DEFAULT.ASPX?page=1

Cookies don’t identify personal details, but the IP address (Internet Protocol address) is registered wherever you browse. The website owner, has no control over that. Electronic acknowledgment of the IP address is just that—it identifies the computer. (It requires extensive computer knowledge and resources, such as those at the disposal of law enforcement agencies, to dig deep enough to identify the person using a particular computer, and even then, the person may not be identifiable if he or she used a computer at a public library, for instance.)


Cookies aren’t completely fail-safe.  Whilst our website has limited functionality and does not ask for sensitive information, only contact details if you make an enquiry. Visitors to our site are reminded that they should not impart any personal or financial information over an unencrypted network. Cookie information can be hijacked if the user is surfing the net on an unencrypted network (such as a public WiFi network.)
