This Cookies Policy relates to our website at http://www.coreonline.com and any other websites and online services operated by us in relation to the Core®Online service (collectively, the “Site”).
This Cookies Policy explains how we use cookies on the Site, and forms part of our Privacy Policy. By using the Site, you consent to such use in accordance with this Cookies Policy.
Cookies are widely used to allow websites to function efficiently. A "cookie" is a small text file that (depending on your browser settings) is deposited on the hard drive of your computer or mobile phone (each, a “device”) when you visit a website. The cookie may be sent back to that site when you visit again, and may then be used by the server to identify and track your use of the website.
There are two main types of cookies. A “session cookie” is a temporary cookie that only remains in the cookie file of your browser until you leave a website. A “persistent” cookie is a long-term cookie that will be stored by your browser until its set expiry date (unless you delete it before the expiry date).
In general, we use certain types of cookie:
* to identify you as you use the Site;
* (where applicable) to help us authenticate you as a Member and/or Registered User and to give you access to your user profile;
These cookies do not contain any information that, in itself, personally identifies you and do not provide us with access to the rest of your device. We may, however, associate the information contained in cookies with personal information that you have provided to us separately.
More particularly, here is a list of the main cookies that we use on the Site, and what each is used for.
Name | Service | Cookie type | Purpose |
CSRFtoken | Core®Online website (including services for Registered Users) | Expires after a year | User-specific secret token that is used to "prevent" cross-site request forgeries. It stores a hash that every form on Core®Online uses. The token is sent on every form-post, and is checked on the server to validate that the currently logged in user is the one that submits the data and to validate that the data it submits comes from our website. |
DATA | Core®Online website (including services for Registered Users) | Session (for duration of the browser session) Expires when browser closes. | For future use. Contains information about the logged in user (username, depository- balance). Will be used to "personalize" statically rendered pages at a later stage. This cookie is meant to ease the load of the servers by having the client input the values on statically rendered pages. |
SESSIONID | Core®Online website (including services for Registered Users) | Expires when browser closes or in 14 days (if user checked the "remember me" option). | Contains a unique identifier, which corresponds to a row in our session database. The session-database contains information about the current session as well as information that identifies the currently logged in user. |
We may introduce further types of cookie from time to time to improve your experience of the Site. If we do so, we shall update the list above to note any further significant cookies used on the Site.
If you require any further information on the cookies that we use, you can contact us as described in the How to contact us section below.
Please note that our business partners’ or other websites that may be accessible via the Site may also use cookies, over which we have no control. You should check the privacy and cookies policies posted on the relevant third-party websites for further information on such cookies (including details of how to reject or delete such cookies).
The Site may also use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies to help us analyse how users use the Site. The information generated by Google’s cookies about your use of the Site (including your IP address) is anonymous and will be sent to Google and held on Google’s servers in the USA in accordance with Google’s privacy policy (available at http://www.google.co.uk/intl/en/privacy/). Please note that Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google.
If you object to the use of cookies on the Site, most browsers can be configured to alert you to their use or to enable you to reject cookies. You can also delete cookies already stored on your device. To learn how to reject or delete cookies, we recommend that you consult the "Help" function of your internet browser or, for a mobile phone, your handset manual. Further information on rejection and deletion of cookies is provided on www.aboutcookies.org.
If, however, you decide to disable or delete any cookies, some services or features on the Site (especially interactive features) may not work properly. Disabling or deleting cookies may also affect your ability to use other websites.
