Session cookies last only for the duration of your visit and are deleted when you close your browser. Session cookies facilitate various tasks including enabling a website to identify that a user of a particular device is navigating from page to page thus supporting website security or basic functionality.
Many of the cookies we use are session cookies. For example, they help us to ensure the security of your internet banking session, and can also keep you signed in to internet banking while you move between pages or service your account.
Our session cookies used for security are designed to be very difficult to read, change, access or use (except by us) when you have an active Internet Banking session. They contain no personal information that can be used to identify an individual. Their names usually begin with the letters “ASP”. For example, ASP.net_sessionID is a session cookie used by this Site.
Persistent cookies
Persistent cookies remain on your device after you have closed your browser, and allow a website to remember your actions and preferences. Sometimes persistent cookies are used by websites to provide targeted advertising based upon the browsing history of the device.
First and third-party cookies
Whether a cookie is a first or third-party cookie depends on which website the cookie originates from. First-party cookies are those set by or on behalf of the website visited. All other cookies are third-party cookies.
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are required to enable you to move around the website and use its features whilst ensuring the security of your online banking experience. Without these cookies it would not be possible to provide you with certain services you have asked for, such as applying for products and managing your accounts. These cookies don’t gather information about you for the purposes of marketing.
Unlike other cookies, we do not need to obtain your consent to set strictly necessary cookies on your device.
Performance cookies
These cookies gather information about how visitors use a website, for example if error messages are received from web pages and which pages are most frequently visited. These cookies do not collect information that identifies a visitor although they may collect the IP address of the device used to access the site. All the information collected by these cookies is anonymous and only used to improve the efficiency of a website, marketing opportunities and the overall user experience.
Functionality cookies
These cookies allow the Site to remember any choices you make, for example your user name. They may also be used to provide services you have requested. The information collected by these cookies is anonymous, that is to say they do not contain your name, address, account details, etc. and they do not track your browsing activity across other websites.
Targeting cookies

These organisations do this in order to provide you with targeted adverts more relevant to you and your interests. To learn more about interest-based advertising and how you may be able to opt-out of some of this advertising and to limit some third party advertising cookies, you may wish to visit:
