Cookies
Like most other Web sites, ARH uses cookies. Cookies are small data files that Web sites write to your hard drive when you visit them. A cookie file can contain information such as a user ID that the site uses to track the pages you’ve visited on the site as well as any special settings you have selected on a site. A cookie can’t read data off your hard drive or read cookie files created by other sites.
At ARH, cookies allow automatic logins to improve your experience with our site. For example, we may use a cookie to identify our logged-in members so they don’t have to re-enter a user id and password when they return to the site. Cookies can also be used to help us to better understand how visitors interact with our sites leading to the delivery of more relevant content.
Any user can adjust the settings on their computer to decline any cookies from ARH should they so wish. This in no way effects their usage of our support forum.
