Effective date: November 2019

By actively using the alight.com website or by clicking on the appropriate button on the banner displayed to you, you agree that we can place cookies on your device as described in our Privacy Statement and this Cookie Notice. Strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent.

What are cookies?

A cookie is a piece of information contained in a very small text file that is stored in your Internet browser or elsewhere on your hard drive. Cookies are transferred from our website to your computer, phone or tablet and allow a website to identify a user's device whenever that user returns to the website. They are commonly used in order to make websites work more efficiently and enrich the user experience, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site.

Alight's use of cookies

Alight collects information during your visit to an Alight website through the use of cookies. We use these cookies for a variety of reasons, most commonly to distinguish you from other users of our websites and to help us compile aggregate statistics about usage of our websites. We also use cookies to help us provide you with a positive experience when you browse our website, help improve our content and to personalise your visit.

Alight's use of web beacons

Alight may also use tracking technologies called web beacons to collect information about your visit to Alight sites. These are small images embedded in web content and HTML-formatted email messages and are ordinarily not visible to users. Like cookies, this technology enables us to track pages and content accessed and viewed by users on Alight sites. Also, when we send HTML-formatted (as opposed to plain text) emails to our users, this technology may be embedded in such emails. Using web beacons allows us to determine whether emails have been opened or links were accessed, and identify aggregate trends, individual usage, and generate statistics about how our site is used. This enables us to provide our users with more relevant content or additional information about our services.

Web beacons are often used in combination with cookies; however unlike cookies, web beacons cannot be declined when delivered via a regular web page. However, they can be refused when delivered via email. If you do not wish to receive this technology via email, configure your email software to disable HTML images or refuse HTML emails (selecting the option for text-only viewing). Setting your browser to decline cookies or to prompt you for an opt-in response before cookies are set will also reduce web beacons' functionality.
