How we use cookies?

A cookie is a small file which asks permission to be placed on the User’s desktop/laptop/mobile device's memory drive. Once the User agrees, the file is added and the cookie helps analyze web traffic. Cookies allow services to respond to the User as an individual. The services can tailor its operations to the User’s needs, likes and dislikes by gathering and remembering information about the User’s preferences.

Cookies help us better understand User’s behavior, and tell us which part of the services Users have visited and facilitates and measure the effectiveness of products and services offered by us. We treat information collected by cookies and other technologies as non-personal information. However, to the extent that internet protocol (IP) addresses or similar identifiers are considered Personal Information by applicable law, we also treat these identifiers as Personal Information.

We use traffic log cookies to identify which pages are being used. This helps us analyze data about web page traffic and improve our services in order to tailor it to customer needs. We only use this information for statistical analysis purposes and then the data is removed from the system.

Overall, cookies help us provide User with a better experience of BANKIT services, by enabling us to monitor which pages Users find useful and which the Users do not. A cookie in no way gives us access to the User’s desktop/laptop/mobile device or any information about the User, other than the data a User chooses to share with us.

A User can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but a User can usually modify its browser setting to decline cookies if the User prefer. This may prevent the User from taking full advantage of the services.

Advertisement appearing on the BANKIT services may be delivered to the User by advertising partners, who may set cookies. These cookies allow the ad server to recognize the User computer each time they send the User an online advertisement to compile non-personal information about the User or others who use the User computer.

This Policy does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.
