Cookies can be (i) session cookies, meaning that they are deleted from your device once the session and browser are closed; or (ii) persistent cookies, meaning that they will be stored on your device until they are deleted.

Cookies can have many functions and can be used to:

  • monitor how you use our Website in order to improve it;
  • improve your user experience by tailoring the content on our Website to your areas of interest and by offering you more relevant Hello Bank! adverts and content on our Website or third-party websites;
  • remember the information that you have provided to us (for example, in order to automatically fill in forms with the information that you have previously provided to us in order to log in more quickly);
  • save your preferences and settings for using our Website (such as language or time zone).

2. What kind of information can be stored in a cookie?

The information stored by the cookies placed on your device may relate to the following areas, within the limit of their retention period:

  • the webpages you have visited on that device;
  • the advertisements you have clicked on;
  • the type of browser you use;
  • your IP address;
  • and any other information that you have provided on our Website.

3. What kind of cookies do we use and for what purpose?

The cookies that we use on our Websites are grouped into different categories.

We use certain tools (Adobe Target and Adobe Analytics) for a number of purposes. These purposes, such as audience measurement or advertising purposes, require your consent. If you have not consented to audience measurement cookies, we will not use these tools to process your data for audience measurement purposes or for other purposes.

1. Strictly necessary cookies (mandatory)

These cookies are essential for the Website to function properly. They may include, for example, cookies that collect session identifiers and identification data, or cookies that allow the interface of a Website to be customised (such as, for the choice of language or presentation of a service).

This is for privacy purposes of Wealth Management clients: if someone uses the computer of a Wealth Management client, then he will not see it is a Wealth Management client unless he is logged in. This cookie is placed in context of privacy by design: even if authenticated, the cookie is needed, because front-end won’t take the data from back-end.
