Cookie Policy

Effective date: Production go-live date · Last updated: 1 October 2026

About this policy

This policy explains how Absolute Accountancy Software Solutions (AASS) Limited, trading as Absolute Ledger, uses cookies, browser storage and similar technologies on the Absolute Ledger public website. Some technologies described as cookies are browser-storage technologies rather than traditional HTTP cookies.

Our approach

The public website currently uses two categories: necessary storage and measurement storage.

Necessary storage supports essential functions and remembers your privacy choice. Measurement storage is optional and operates only after you choose "Allow measurement". Selecting "Necessary only" leaves optional measurement disabled.

Absolute Ledger does not currently use:

third-party advertising cookies
behavioural advertising trackers
device fingerprinting

Current public browser storage

Name	Category	Purpose	Duration
al.consent.v1	Necessary	Remembers whether you selected Necessary only or Allow measurement.	Until cleared from the browser or replaced by a later preference.
al.visitor.v1	Measurement	Random identifier used to distinguish visits without identifying you by name.	Until measurement consent is withdrawn or browser storage is cleared.
al.first_touch.v1	Measurement	Records how you first arrived at the website for attribution purposes.	Until measurement consent is withdrawn or browser storage is cleared.
al.session.v1	Measurement	Random identifier relating activity within one browser-tab session.	Until the tab/session ends.

All items are first-party. Authentication-related storage used after sign-in is separate from anonymous public-site measurement.

Measurement storage

Where you select Allow measurement, optional measurement may record:

pages viewed
entry and exit pages
scroll depth
button interactions
external links
downloads
referring site
campaign information
device type
operating system
browser
language
screen width
approximate geographic location

The measurement database does not retain your raw IP address. Measurement does not read information typed into the Contact form.

Consent and changing a choice

The banner offers "Necessary only" and "Allow measurement". Necessary only does not prevent normal use of the public website, and no optional measurement storage is activated before consent.

You can change your choice at any time using "Cookie settings" in the website footer, which reopens the consent controls and shows your current choice. If you withdraw measurement consent, optional measurement stops and the optional visitor identifiers are removed. You may choose Allow measurement again later.

Retention

Detailed website measurement: maximum 400 days. Daily aggregated measurement totals: maximum 24 months. After their applicable retention period, records are deleted or irreversibly anonymised.

Third parties

The public website currently uses no third-party advertising or third-party analytics cookies. Hosting and backend providers support operation of the website, but the public measurement capability is operated within the Absolute Ledger application. If new storage technologies or third-party measurement providers are introduced, we will review consent requirements and update this policy before activating them.

Browser controls

You may also use your browser to inspect, delete or block cookies and browser storage. Blocking all browser storage may affect functionality that depends on preferences or authenticated sessions.
