Cookies categories
Cookies can be put into the following categories, based on the International Chamber of Commerce guide to cookie categories: Strictly Necessary, Performance, Functionality & Profile and Targeting/Advertising.
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential, as they ensure your security as well as enabling you to move around a website and use its features. Without these cookies, services you've asked for (such as access to secure areas) can't be provided. These cookies don't gather information about you that could be used for marketing or remembering where you've been on the internet.
- Performance Cookies: The information collected by these cookies is anonymous and is only used to improve how the website works and to help us to identify issues you may have when using our online services. In limited cases for online banking issues, these cookies enable us to identify specific issues you may have had. These cookies are not used to target you with online advertising. Without these cookies we can't learn how our website is performing and make relevant improvements that could better your browsing experience.

These cookies may be used to ensure that all our services and communications are relevant to you. The information these cookies collect cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

They do this to provide you with ads that are more relevant to you and your interests.
