What are cookies?

A cookie is a small piece of data that a website stores on the user’s computer or mobile device. Each cookie includes the name of the website and a unique transaction ID.

There are different types of cookies which carry out different functions. For example, there are necessary cookies which are required to allow the user to navigate the website effectively. There are also optional cookies which can be used to personalise content and ads and to analyse traffic to a website. The law states that we can store cookies on your device if they are strictly necessary for the operation of this site. For all other types of cookies, we need your permission.

Generally speaking, cookies do not contain Personal Information about the user, unless you have separately furnished such information to the website. The information stored in a cookie may relate to your browsing habits on the web page, or a unique identification number so that the website can “remember” you on your return visit.

 

How do you change your cookie settings?

You can manage your cookie preferences by visiting our Cookies Declaration or by indicating your preferences on the cookie banner displayed when you first visit the website. 

 

How does the credit union use cookies?

Blanchardstown & District Credit Union uses “cookie” technology to simplify and improve your browsing experience and to better tailor the content of our website and apps (on whichever device you choose to use) to your requirements and preferences.

Blanchardstown & District Credit Union uses both necessary and optional cookies to enable our website to function and allow us to better understand users’ needs by analyzing which pages are the most popular and how long a user typically spends on a particular page. In some cases, these are third party cookies. Third party cookies are set or “dropped” by another website other than blanchardstowncu.ie. As our default setting, all optional cookies are turned off unless you choose to allow them.

 

Cookies do not in any way compromise the security of your computer. Visitors can use most of the features on this website with no loss of functionality if cookies are disabled from the web browser. However, some features, including our online banking system, require cookies to be enabled in order for the service to function properly.
