Cookies are text files that contain small pieces of information, which are downloaded to your device when you visit a web site.
There are two main types of cookies:
These only exist for the duration of your visit to a web site and are deleted when you leave.
They are sometimes necessary for the correct operation of a web site as they can recognise your device as you move between the pages of a web site, for example, recording items added to an online shopping basket.
These cookies stay on your device until they expiry or are deleted.
Many cookies will have an expiry date set upon creation. When that date is reached, the cookie is deleted.
These cookies are useful because they can allow a web site to recognise your device or they can store your login information so that you do not have to enter your login information for a particular website.
Additionally, cookies can be first or third party cookies.
First party cookies are owned and created by the website you are viewing- in this case by the Credit Union.
Third party cookies are owned and created by an independent company, usually a company providing a service – such as Google Analytics.
We use both first party and third party cookies.
