Cookies Policy

At Partners Bank, your privacy is important to us. This Cookies Policy outlines how we use cookies and tracking technologies on our website to better understand visitor behavior and improve the user experience.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files stored on your device by websites you visit. They are commonly used to make websites function properly, as well as to gather data to improve services.

How We Use Cookies

Partners Bank uses cookies in the following ways:

• Essential Cookies: These are required for the website to function correctly, including managing secure sessions and user navigation.
• Performance Cookies: We use tools such as Google Analytics to collect anonymous data about how users interact with our website — including page views, time on site, and traffic patterns. This information helps us improve our site, and we do not collect or store any personally identifiable information through these tools.
• Marketing Cookies (Historical Use): In the past, we used Meta Pixel to deliver targeted advertisements to users who had previously visited our site. This tool is not currently active, but we are evaluating how to best describe past use in this policy as tracking technologies receive increased regulatory scrutiny.

Third-Party Services

Some cookies may be set by third-party providers to help us understand user behavior or deliver specific functionality. We do not share personally identifiable information with these providers.

Your Options

Most internet browsers accept cookies by default. However, you can adjust your browser settings to block or delete cookies if you prefer. Please note that disabling cookies may affect how some parts of our website function.

Questions?

If you have questions about this policy or our use of cookies, please contact us.

 

Google Analytics

We use a tool called “Google Analytics” to collect information about use of this site. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit this site, what pages they visit when they do so, and what other sites they used prior to coming to this site. We use the information we get from Google Analytics only to improve this site. Google Analytics collects only the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit this site, rather than your name or other identifying information. We do not combine the information collected through the use of Google Analytics with personally identifiable information. Although Google Analytics plants a permanent cookie on your web browser to identify you as a unique user the next time you visit this site, the cookie cannot be used by anyone but Google. Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to this site is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy. You can prevent Google Analytics from recognizing you on return visits to this site by disabling cookies on your browser.

Site Monitoring

For site security purposes this website employs software programs to monitor network traffic and look for irregularities. Anyone using this system consents to the monitoring of their use by system or security personnel.
Unauthorized use, tampering with or modification of this system—or its supporting hardware or software—may violate federal or other statutes and may subject the violator to criminal and civil penalties. In the event of unauthorized intrusion, all relevant information regarding possible violation of law may be provided to law enforcement officials.

This website uses Google AdWords

This website uses the Google AdWords remarketing service to advertise on third party websites (including Google) to previous visitors to our site. It could mean that we advertise to previous visitors who haven’t completed a task on our site, for example using the contact form to make an enquiry. This could be in the form of an advertisement on the Google search results page, or a site in the Google Display Network. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on someone’s past visits to the partners.bank website. Of course, any data collected will be used in accordance with our own privacy policy and Google’s privacy policy.
You can set preferences for how Google advertises to you using the Google Ad Preferences page, and if you want to you can opt out of interest-based advertising entirely by cookie settings or permanently using a browser plugin.
