This Cookie Policy explains how ACFN uses cookies and similar technologies on the Sites, and how you can choose which ones you allow. It forms part of our Privacy Policy.
1. Your choices
Use the controls below to set your preferences for this browser. Optional cookies stay off until you turn them on. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be turned off because the Sites will not work without them.
Strictly necessary
Required for the site to function — page delivery, security, and remembering the choices you make on this page. These cannot be switched off.
Analytics
Helps us understand which pages are read and where visitors leave, so the site can be improved. Aggregated and never used to contact you.
Marketing and advertising
Used to measure the performance of our advertising and to show relevant franchise information on other sites you visit.
Your browser is sending a Global Privacy Control signal, so marketing and advertising cookies stay off.
Your preferences have been saved on this device.
2. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device. Similar technologies include local storage, pixels and tags. In this policy, “cookies” refers to all of them. Cookies set by ACFN are first-party; cookies set by another company whose service appears on our pages are third-party. Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser; persistent cookies stay until they expire or you delete them.
3. Categories we use
Strictly necessary
These deliver pages securely, protect our forms against spam and fraudulent submissions, keep your progress through a multi-step form, and remember the choices you make on this page. They do not require consent.
Analytics
These count visits and traffic sources, so we can see which pages are useful and where visitors leave. The information is used in aggregate and never to contact you. They are off unless you turn them on.
Marketing and advertising
These measure how our advertising performs and help show relevant ACFN advertising on other sites you visit. In some states this is a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information; see Your Privacy Choices. They are off unless you turn them on.
4. Technologies on our Sites
The table lists the technologies we use or may enable for an advertising campaign. Optional tools run only after you allow them.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Category | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ACFN_COOKIE_PREFS | ACFN (local storage) | Remembers your cookie choices | Strictly necessary | Until you clear it |
| Form progress and security | ACFN | Keeps your place in a multi-step form and blocks automated submissions | Strictly necessary | Session |

| Embedded video and maps | YouTube, Google Maps | Plays embedded video and shows maps (YouTube in privacy-enhanced mode) | Set by the provider when you play or use the content | Varies by provider |
5. Global Privacy Control
If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, we treat it as a request to opt out of the sale and sharing of personal information for that browser and keep marketing and advertising cookies off, even if the switch above is on. We do not respond to “Do Not Track” signals separately, because there is no common standard for them.
6. Other ways to control cookies
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings, which apply to every site you visit:
- Chrome: Settings, Privacy and security, Third-party cookies
- Safari: Settings, Privacy
- Firefox: Settings, Privacy & Security
- Edge: Settings, Cookies and site permissions
To limit interest-based advertising more widely, visit Google Ad Settings, the Digital Advertising Alliance at optout.aboutads.info, or the Network Advertising Initiative at optout.networkadvertising.org. You can opt out of Google Analytics with Google's browser add-on.
7. Scope of your choice
Your preferences are stored on this device in this browser. If you use another device or browser, clear your browsing data or browse privately, you will need to set them again. We may update this policy when the technologies we use change; the effective date at the top shows the latest version.
