Cookie Policy
Our website www.reliancebankltd.com, in common with most other websites, uses cookies.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that web servers can store on your computer’s hard drive when you visit a website. Websites typically use cookies to ensure you see the content you want when you go back to a site, to enable you to see protected content when you’ve logged in with a user name and password. You do not have to accept our cookies, however, please remember that cookies are used to allow us to find ways to improving certain functions on our Site so that you can have better user experience.
General description of Cookies
The following paragraphs provide an explanation of typical cookies that exist on general websites:
Essential Cookies
Cookies which are essential for us to provide a product or service you have requested and to provide a secure online environment. Without these cookies we are unable to provide some products or services that you might request. Other ‘essential’ cookies keep our website secure. Even if you say “No” to cookies on this website we’ll continue to use these ‘essential’ cookies.
Essential cookies are used to deliver interactive services, such as online banking and product applications and maintain online security and protect against online fraud
Session or persistent cookies
Some cookies are session cookies. This means they’re deleted when you close your web browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari etc.). These are the cookies typically used when you log into a bank or make an online purchase. Other cookies are persistent which means they remain on your computer until they expire. This can be a fixed time after you have visited the website or a particular date. These cookies are used to remember information between visits to a website. For example, if you tell the BBC website to remember which weather forecast you want to see, it will use a cookie to remember that.
First or third party cookies
First party cookies are set by the site you’re visiting. In the example above, the cookie would be set by the BBC. They’re only read when you go back to the same site again.
Third party cookies are set by someone other than the site owner. These may be set by agencies that have placed adverts on a site you visit, by analytics programs that help site owners know how well their site is working and similar organisations. If you go to another site that uses the same advert provider, the cookie may be read again, and the advertising agency will be able to recognise that the same computer has visited this site too. This information is generally used by agencies to target adverts, so you’re more likely to see adverts for products you are interested in.
Use of cookies by Reliance Bank I-Bank:
Session cookies
On our I-bank secure site, we use Token and SessionId cookies when you log in to view your account(s). Please see below for descriptions of these session cookies:
Token Session cookie
This cookie is used to prevent Cross-site request forgery (often abbreviated as CSRF) attacks of the website. CSRF attacks exploit the trust that a site has in a user’s browser.
SessionId Session cookie
This cookie allows the website to save user session state across different pages. For example, if a user has completed a survey, the website will remember that the user has done so and will not ask to complete it again when the user views another page on the website. This session cookie will be destroyed when you close your browser. This cookie is essential for our website to function.
If you refuse Token and SessionId cookies from this site, you won’t be able to access your I-bank account information.
These Token and SessionId cookies are only available on I-Bank and are not transferred to our general Reliance Bank website.
