COOKIES

With regards to the new requirements on Cookies following the revision of the e-Privacy Directive, the credit union is working towards implementing the new requirements in line with guidance from the Information Commissioner’s Office.
To make using our Site as straightforward as possible and to improve the service we offer you, we use cookies.

WHAT ARE COOKIES?

Cookies are text files that web servers can store on your computer’s hard drive when you visit a website. There are two main types:

  • Transient (or per-session) cookies
    These only exist for your site visit and are deleted on exit. They recognise you as you move between pages, for example, recording items added to an online shopping basket. These cookies also help maintain security.
  • Persistent (or permanent) cookies
    These stay on your machine until expiry or deletion. Many are built with automatic deletion dates to help ensure your hard drive doesn’t get overloaded. These cookies often store and re-enter your log-in information, so you don’t need to remember membership details.
    Additionally, cookies can be first or third party cookies. First party cookies are owned & created by the website you’re viewing- in this case by the Credit Union. Third party cookies are owned & created by an independent company, usually a company providing a service to the website owners. In our case, third party cookies provided from this Site are still subject to the provisions set out below.

WHAT WE USE COOKIES FOR

Internet cookies help you do things online, like remembering log-in details so you don’t have to re-enter them when revisiting a site.

WE USE COOKIES TO:

  • Gather customer journey information across our sites
  • Ensure your privacy in our secure sites
  • Temporarily store details input into our calculators, tools, illustrations and demonstrations

We use both our own (first party) and partner companies’ (third party) cookies to support these activities.
We don’t use cookies to track people’s Internet usage after leaving our sites.

SERVICES REQUIRING ENABLED COOKIES

Some of our services require cookies in your browser to view and use them and to protect your financial and personal information.
