What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files which are downloaded to a user’s computer or mobile device when a browser is used to visit a website. Some cookies (known as sessional cookies) are created temporarily and are deleted when a user leaves a particular website. Other cookies (known as persistent cookies) allow the user’s device to be recognised by the originating website on subsequent visits to that website.

Cookies are used to perform many different roles. For example they can be used to enable users to navigate between pages efficiently, remember their preferences, and manage log-ins and can be used to generally improve the user experience. They can also help to ensure that adverts displayed online are more relevant to users and their interests.

As cookies themselves include very little information they cannot be used by themselves to identify users by name and cannot usually be used to reveal personal data.

COVID-19 Secure Workplace: Our approach to risk management

At ABWF, we recognise that we have both a legal and moral duty to protect the safety and wellbeing of our people, visitors and contractors from the risk posed by the transmission of COVID-19 in our workplaces.

We believe that thorough risk assessment underpins effective risk management and that we have identified and put in place controls that serve to mitigate risk as far as is reasonably practicable.

As part of that risk assessment we have closely followed the 'COVID-19 Secure Workplace' advice given by the UK Government and Public Health England and have introduced some new measures and updated existing controls where appropriate.

As with all matters relating to health and safety, we have encouraged all our people to share ideas for improvement and to raise any concerns they may have. The ABWF Leadership Team have maintained regular communication throughout the crisis across the business.

We believe our approach has minimised the risk of COVID-19 transmission in our workplace and the health, safety and well-being of our people remains our #1 business priority.
