On local websites which may be linked from our cassinfo.com website, cookies may be used to allow you to log on to our portals, choose log-in preferences, apply for services online, and use financial tools. Please bear in mind that our affiliate companies may have their own privacy and cookie policies that will govern their use of cookies on local websites and any information you submit on a local website. Please read carefully any local website and/or product terms and conditions before using the local website or product.

Frequently Asked Questions 

What are cookies? 

Cookies are small data files that are sent to and stored on your computer, smartphone, or other device for accessing the internet whenever you visit a website. Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognize a user’s/visitor’s device. Some of the functions that cookies perform can also be achieved using similar technologies. While this Cookie Policy generally refers to “cookies” throughout, this term is intended to include these alternate technologies. For more information about cookies and similar technologies, visit allaboutcookies.org.

Can cookies pass on my personal information to others?

Cass will not sell (in the traditional sense of the word) any personal information gathered through cookies on our websites to third parties. However, we may use non-essential cookies on some of our websites to help us enhance the user/visitor experience and, as part of this process, we may share certain limited personal information with our “analytics” and “marketing” service providers, as well as with some of our affiliate companies.

Do cookies compromise my security?

No, in fact many of the cookies we use are designed to provide important security features, such as protecting your data/information and your accounts.

How long do cookies stay on my computer, smartphone, or other device?

The length of time a cookie stays on your device depends on its type. We use two general types of cookies on our websites:

  • Session cookies are temporary cookies which only exist during the time you use one of our websites (or more strictly, until you close the browser after using one of our websites). Session cookies help a website remember what you chose on the previous page, avoiding the need to re-enter information and improve your experience whilst using that website. 
  • Persistent cookies stay on your device after you’ve visited a website, for example, so that the website remembers you the next time you visit. Persistent cookies help us identify you as a unique user/visitor of one of our websites. 

What categories of cookies do we use? 

  • Essential or necessary cookies are critical to the running of our websites and enable core functionality. That is, our websites cannot function properly without these cookies. These cookies can only be disabled by changing your browser preferences. However, for maximum functionality of our websites, we would recommend that you not disable these cookies. 
  • Non-essential analytics and marketing cookies help us to make sure you have the best possible experience on our websites and help us to manage the online advertising messages you see from us. Specifically, we may use these cookies to help us to: 
    • make our websites easier to use; 
    • help you find what you need more easily; 
    • test and improve the content you see on our websites; 
    • understand how you found out about our products; 
    • show you more relevant messages and offers;  
    • improve your overall online experience on our websites. 
  • Non-essential pixel tags and similar technologies (also known as web beacons and clear GIFs) may be used by us in connection with some online services to, among other things, track the actions of users of the online services (including email recipients), measure the success of our marketing campaigns, and compile statistics about usage of the online services and response rates.

Can I control or manage cookies on my computer, smartphone, or other device?

Yes, there are two ways in which you can control or manage cookies on your device:

  • Cookie Consent Tool. When visiting our websites for the first time, an option is presented allowing you to control or manage the use of cookies. Our Cookie Consent Tool can be used to customize your cookie preferences. The Cookie Consent Tool will record when you have consented to our Cookie Policy and will ask for consent on an annual basis to ensure you stay up-to-date with changes to our Cookie and Global Privacy Policies. Specifically, the Cookie Consent Tool permits you to control the non-essential cookies set through using our websites. Please note, the essential or necessary cookies cannot be managed, nor can the Cookie Consent Tool be used to block cookies on third-party websites linked from our websites. 
  • Using Your Browser. The browsers of most computers, smartphones, and other web-enabled devices are typically set up to accept cookies. If you wish to amend your cookie preferences for any website, you can do this through your browser settings. Your browser’s “help” function will tell you how to do this. However, please remember that cookies are often used to enable and improve certain functions on our websites. If you choose to switch certain cookies off, it is likely to affect how the website works. To find out how to manage cookies on popular browsers, you can visit allaboutcookies.org.
