Who are We and What is the Purpose of this Cookies Policy
ESIS, Inc., with its registered office at 436 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA 19106, United States (hereafter, “we”, “us” and/or “our”), uses cookies on the website at avatclaims.com (hereafter, the “Website”). A cookie is a piece of text that a web server can store on the user’s hard drive.
Cookies allow websites to store information on the user’s device and to retrieve such information at a later date. They are not programs and therefore cannot “do” anything on the computer. A website can only retrieve the information that it has placed on the computer. It does not have access to any other cookie files or to any other information on the computer.
For example, the text file or cookie may be an individual identification number that the website assigns to a computer. This identification number is sent to the website if the computer accesses the website again. This is how website operators collate their visitor numbers and statistics.
The information set out in this policy is provided in addition to the ESIS, Inc. Privacy Policy for the AVAT No Fault Compensation Scheme (the “Program”), which provides comprehensive information about how we use your personal information both on this Website and offline. You can read the ESIS, Inc. Privacy Policy for the Program.
This cookies policy is incorporated in and is part of the ESIS, Inc. Privacy Policy for the Program.

Cookies may be either “persistent” cookies or “session” cookies. This Website uses both persistent and session cookies.
A persistent cookie consists of a text file sent by a web server to a web browser, which allows us to collect and analyze (on an anonymous basis) traffic and use of this Website, monitor the system and improve operating performance, for example, store your preferences to enhance your subsequent visits.
