For example, if you personalize A1L Digital pages, or register with A1L Digital site or services, a cookie helps A1L Digital to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same A1L Digital Web site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the A1L Digital features that you customized.
