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 Commissioners Office. To make using our Site as straightforward as possible and to improve the service we offer you, we use cookies.
Cookies are text files that web servers can store on your computers 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 doesnt get overloaded. These cookies often store and re-enter your log-in information, so you dont 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.
Internet cookies help you do things online, like remembering logon details so you don’t have to re-enter them when revisiting a site.
Some of our services require cookies in your browser to view and use them and to protect your financial and personal information.
You are not obliged to accept cookies that we send to you and you can in fact modify your browser so that it will not accept cookies. To enable or disable cookies, follow the instructions provided by your browser (usually located within the Help, Tools or Edit facility). Alternatively, an external resource is available, providing specific information about cookies and how to manage them to suit your preferences.
Please note that should you choose to set your browser to disable cookies, you may not be able to access secure areas of this Site, for example any online accounts you may hold.
