PLEASE READ THIS POLICY CAREFULLY BEFORE USING OUR WEBSITES

Page last updated: March 2025

This Policy is for visitors of our websites (e.g. www.bank-abc.com), apps, and digital platforms. The latest version will always be posted here. It details the Cookies we use, the information collected, and the purposes of the collection.

Some of the Cookies that we use are strictly necessary and are used to technically enable our websites and its components to function. Strictly necessary Cookies are activated without user consent because they are considered necessary for the website to function effectively and in a secure way. All other Cookies that are not classified as strictly necessary are subject to consent from website visitors.

Please be aware that some of our services will not function if you, your browser or device does not accept our Cookies.

Bank ABC is dedicated to safeguarding your privacy and any information that we collect during your use of our websites.

We do not employ Cookies to track or identify individual users. Instead, we utilize Cookies to gather valuable insights regarding the usage of our websites, enabling us to continually enhance our online services for our customer and website visitors.

We may use Cookies to:

Ensure your security and privacy when using our websites.
Increase our understanding of how you navigate through our websites so that we can identify improvements.
Evaluate the effectiveness of our websites.

We may use both our own (first-party) and partner companies' (third-party) Cookies to support these activities.

Please review the Cookie List in this Policy for more detail.

This section gives more information about Cookies, particularly why we use them on our websites.

What is a Cookie?

Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information which your computer or mobile device downloads when you visit a website. When you return to websites – or visit websites that use the same Cookies – they recognize these Cookies and therefore your browsing device. Cookies are designed to be a reliable mechanism for websites to remember information such as your language preference or to record your browsing activity (including clicking buttons, logging in or recording which pages were visited).

Why do we use Cookies?

We use Cookies to help you navigate our websites, remember your preferences, and improve your experience. These technologies also detect and prevent fraud for your security. When you visit from any device (PC, tablet, or mobile), we collect information about your device, including type, operating system, display resolution, and IP address. We also track how you interact with our sites. Disabling Cookies may prevent you from completing some tasks on our websites.

Are Cookies dangerous?

No. Cookies are small pieces of text. They are not computer programs, and they cannot be executed as a code. All modern versions of popular web browsers allow users to set their own limitations to the number of Cookies saved on their devices.

Can Cookies threaten user’s privacy?

Cookies are stored on your device. They cannot access the hard drive, so they cannot read other information saved on the hard drive or obtain your e-mail address. They only contain and transfer to the server as much information as the website visitors themselves have consented to disclose to the website.

There are different types of Cookies. They all work in the same way but have minor differences. The information below relates to the types of Cookies used on our websites:

Strictly Necessary Cookies: These Cookies provide the service, application, or resource requested. Without these Cookies, your request cannot be performed appropriately, and our website may not function as expected, or in a secure way. These trackers are set to manage essential actions, such as requesting website visual elements, page resources, or user login/logoff. We also use these Cookies to set up essential functionalities to guarantee the security and efficiency of the service requested, like authentication and load balancer requests.
Performance Cookies: These Cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these Cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these Cookies we will not be able to monitor its performance.
Functional Cookies: These Cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation. They may be set by us or by third party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these Cookies then some or all of these services may not function properly.
Targeting Cookies: These Cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these Cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.

We respect your privacy, so you can choose to disallow certain types of Cookies. Click on the category headings to learn more and change default settings. Blocking some Cookies may impact site functionality and services.

Below we show a detailed list of the Cookies we use on our websites and the purposes for which we enable each Cookie.

We scan our sites regularly to keep the list as accurate as possible. However, you should keep in mind that there may be occasional subtle variations when comparing our public list with your scan, as changes can occur depending on the type of browser you are using and your interactions with other websites.

For more information, please see our Data Protection and Privacy webpage where you can learn more about how we use your personal data.
