How to Control and Delete Cookies

1) Using Your Browser and Mobile Device

If you prefer, you can change your cookie settings. Some browsers have options that allow the visitor to control whether the browser will accept cookies, reject cookies, or notify the visitor each time a cookie is sent. You may elect to reject cookies by adjusting your settings, but doing so will limit the range of features available to you with our digital products and services and other major websites that use cookies, including not being able to access your accounts online through a browser. Remember, the Credit Union has a mobile app that provides on-the-go access, should you prefer it over a browser experience.

How to manage browser settings for cookies

Some mobile devices come with a non-permanent advertising identifier or ID which gives companies the ability to serve targeted ads to a specific mobile device. In many cases, you can turn off mobile device ad tracking or you can reset the advertising identifier at any time within your mobile device privacy settings. You may also choose to turn off location tracking on your mobile device. By turning off ad tracking or location tracking on your mobile device, you may still see the same number of ads as before, but they may be less relevant because they won't be based on your interests.

2) Behavioral Advertising on Third-Party Websites

Online Activity Data collected on our website or apps may be used to advertise our products and services that may be of interest to you on third-party websites. Our service providers that deliver these advertisements are subject to their own privacy policies. To explore options for opting out of behavioral advertising, visit http://optout.aboutads.info/ or click on the AdChoices icon in an ad and follow the instructions. You may also use the Network Advertising Initiative's (NAI) Opt-Out Tool by visiting https://optout.networkadvertising.org/?c=1. Furthermore, you may download the Google Analytics opt-out plug-in, available at  https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/, to prevent your data from being collected and used by Google Analytics. Moreover, there may be other tools provided by the publishing platform to enable you to opt out. Opting out relies on information in the unique cookies placed on your web browser by our service providers, so if you delete cookies, use a different device, or change web browsers, you may need to opt out again. Additionally, we may partner with websites like Google and Yahoo to display ads to you based on search terms you use on those websites. Please review the privacy policies of those websites for instructions on how to limit these ads. Please note that you may still receive general online advertising from us even after you adjust your ad preferences with certain web search engines or opt out of online advertising through AdChoices or the NAI tool. Such advertising, however, should not be based on Online Activity Data or search-term information.

However, since we don't own or control these third-party resources, we can't ensure that you'll stop receiving our advertisements by using these tools or that such advertisements will not be based on Online Activity Data or search-term information, and we don't guarantee the functionality or availability of such third-party tools. While we work with vendors and service providers who are contractually obligated to comply with our policies to protect information and to comply with all applicable laws regarding the collection, safeguarding, processing and disclosure of personal information, such vendors and service providers are solely responsible for cookies, cookie tracking and your choices for managing cookies.
