What personally identifiable information does George Banco collect from me?

Like many websites George Banco uses cookies in order to provide you with a more personalised web service.

A cookie is a text-only string of information that we pass to your computer's hard disk through your web-browser so that the website can remember who you are. Cookies cannot be used by themselves to identify you.

A cookie will typically contain the name of the domain from which the cookie has come, the "lifetime" of the cookie, and a value, usually a randomly generated unique number.

For more information about cookies, please see www.allaboutcookies.org.

We use two types of cookies on our website:

• per session cookies, which are temporary cookies that remain in the cookies file of your browser until you leave the site; and
• persistent cookies, which remain in the cookies file of your browser for longer (although how long will depend on the lifetime of the specific cookie)

These cookies are used to store information between visits to a site. If you do not wish to receive cookies you can easily modify your web browser to refuse cookies, or to notify you when you receive a new cookie. However, you may not be able to use all the interactive features of our site if cookies are disabled, and so in order to enjoy the George Banco site to the full, we recommend that you leave them switched on.
