What is a cookie?
Cookies are pieces of information sent by a web server and stored on your computer for future reference. They contain information about how you are using a web site and can track your movements through it. AAA Pioneer Valley uses 2 types of cookies:
a) session cookies which only last while you are on that particular website and
b) persistent cookies, which are written on to your hard drive and can remain there permanently or until it reaches its pre-assigned expiry date.

How does AAA use persistent cookies?
Our primary use of cookies is to make our site easier for you to use. Upon detection, your cookie entitles you access to virtually all of the Member or Guest areas on the site. With a cookie registered users do not have to log in with one exception; a user doing an on line transaction will be requested to log in. This allows us to know who within a family is doing the transaction.
We also use cookies to track website visits, transmit potentially useful information, and personalize your future visits to the Website. Our cookies do not capture your individual email address or any private information about you. However, we may use the information provided on a consolidated basis for statistical and survey purposes and to improve the user friendliness of our Website.

AAA may also use persistent cookies to remember what information has been presented to you, so that you don’t see it again. For example, if we have to communicate information to you through a pop-up message or temporary message, a persistent cookie will make sure that you only have to see the information once, rather than having to see it every time you visit our Web site.

What cookies can not do?
Cookies cannot read your hard drive or access files and information stored on your computer. They cannot reveal anything about you that you have not chosen to enter as a user on the site. We will not store any personal information such as name, address or social security number.

Do I have to accept cookies?
If you are concerned about accepting cookies, you can set your browser to not accept cookies or to warn you when you are about to receive one and you can then choose whether to accept it or not. If you choose not to accept cookies, you may not be able to access some pages on our website and others may not function at optimum efficiency.
