What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit. Some are needed for the site to work. Others help us understand how the site is used, or measure whether our advertising is working. Similar technologies, such as tracking pixels, work in the same way, and this policy covers them too.
Your choices
When you first visit aqqord.com we ask whether you accept cookies. Only the cookies the site needs to work are set before you choose. Analytics and advertising cookies are set only if you click Accept All, or switch those categories on under Customise.
You can change your mind at any time. Click the round cookie icon at the bottom left of any page to reopen your settings, then accept or reject each category. Rejecting cookies does not stop you using the site or starting a draft lease.
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you block the necessary cookies, parts of the site may not work properly.

Cookie names and how long they last are set by the companies that provide these services, and they change them from time to time. We review this list regularly.
