A transparent cookie-policy to protect your privacy with us
Introduction
This Cookie Policy ("Policy") explains that we believe in being open
and clear about how we use your information. In the spirit of
transparency, this Policy provides detailed information about how and
when we use cookies on our Websites. This cookie policy applies to any
BANCOM.IO product or service that links to this policy or incorporates
it by reference.
a. Does BANCOM.IO uses cookies?
BANCOM.IO uses cookies, tags and other technologies when you use any of
the BANCOM.IO websites, mobile sites or mobile apps (collectively "the
services"). Cookies are used to ensure everyone has their best possible
experience. Cookies also help us keep your account safe. By continuing
to visit or use our services, you are agreeing to the use of cookies and
similar technologies for the purposes we describe in this policy. If
you prefer not to receive cookies or web beacons, then you should stop
using our site, or consult your browsing and third party cookie settings
as described below.
b. What is a cookie?
Cookies are small pieces of text stored by a website you visit in your
browser and subsequently sent by your web browser in every request to
the website. A cookie file is stored in your web browser and allows the
Site or a third-party to recognize you and make your next visit easier
and the Site more useful to you. Essentially, cookies are a user’s
identification card for the BANCOM.IO servers. Cookies allow BANCOM.IO
to serve you better and more efficiently, and to personalize your
experience on our site. Web beacons, tags and scripts may be used in the
Websites or in emails to help us to deliver cookies, count visits,
understand usage and campaign effectiveness and determine whether an
email has been opened and acted upon. We may analyse or perform analysis
based on the use of these technologies and generate reports on an
individual and aggregated basis.
Cookies can be "persistent" or "session" cookies. A persistent cookie
helps us recognize you as an existing user, so it’s easier to return to
BANCOM.IO or interact with our services without signing in again. After
you sign in, a persistent cookie stays in your browser and will be read
by BANCOM.IO when you return to one of our sites or a partner site that
uses our services. Session cookies only last for as long as the session
(usually the current visit to a website or a browser session).
c. What are cookies used for?
When you visit our Websites, we may place a number of cookies in your
browser. These are known as First Party Cookies and are required to
enable to hold session information as you navigate from page to page
within the website. For example, we use cookies on our Websites to
understand visitor and user preferences, improve their experience, and
track and analyse usage, navigational and other statistical information.
Additionally, cookies allow us to bring you advertising both on and off
the BANCOM.IO site, and bring customized features to you. You can
control the use of cookies at the individual browser level. If you elect
not to activate the cookie or to later disable cookies, you may still
visit our Websites, but your ability to use some features or areas of
the Websites may be limited. We may use any of the following categories
of cookies on the Websites as detailed below. Each cookie falls within
one of the four following categories:
Category | Description |
---|---|
Essential Cookies | Essential cookies (First Party Cookies) are sometimes called "strictly necessary" as without them we cannot provide many services that you need on the Website. For example, essential cookies help remember your preferences as you move around the Website. Essential cookies also keep you logged in into a website. Without them the login functionality would not work. |
Analytics Cookies | These cookies track information about visits to the BANCOM.IO and partner (recruiter websites) websites so that we can make improvements and report our performance. For example: analyse visitor and user behaviour so as to provide more relevant content or suggest certain activities. They collect information about how visitors use the Websites, which site the user came from, the number of each user’s visits and how long a user stays on the Websites. We might also use analytics cookies to test new ads, pages, or features to see how users react to them. |
Functionality or Preference Cookies | During your visit to the Websites, cookies are used to remember information you have entered or choices you make (such as your username, language or your region) on the Websites. They also store your preferences when personalizing the Websites to optimize your use of BANCOM.IO. These preferences are remembered, through the use of the persistent cookies, and the next time you visit the Websites you will not have to set them again. |
Targeting or Advertising Cookies | These Cookies are placed by third party advertising platforms or networks or BANCOM.IO in order to, deliver ads and track ad performance, enable advertising networks to deliver ads that may be relevant to you based upon your activities (this is sometimes called "behavioural" "tracking" or "targeted" advertising) on the Websites. They may subsequently use information about your visit to target you with advertising that you may be interested in, on BANCOM.IO websites or other websites. For example, these cookies remember which browsers have visited the websites. |
d. When does BANCOM.IO place cookies?
We use cookies on our websites, mobile sites and mobile applications.
Any browser visiting these sites will receive cookies from us which
helps us identify you more quickly when you return. Cookies help us to
determine which pages or information you find most useful or interesting
on our own websites.
BANCOM.IO may also have some cookies for its own analytics i.e.
analytics not part of Google Analytics. Such cookies help generate
statistics and reports about visitors and their activities on the
website or app.
e. How cookies are used for online analytics purposes?
We may use web analytics services on BANCOM.IO, such as those of Google
Analytics. These services help us analyse how users use the services,
including by noting the third-party website from which you arrive. The
information collected by the technology will be disclosed to or
collected directly by such service providers, who use the information to
evaluate your use of the services. We also use Google Analytics for
certain purposes related to online marketing, as described in the
following sections.
f. How are cookies used for advertising purposes?
Cookies and other ad technology such as beacons, pixels, and tags help
us serve relevant ads to you more effectively. They also help us provide
aggregated auditing, research, and reporting for advertisers,
understand and improve our service, and know when content has been shown
to you. We work with website analytics and advertising partners,
including Google Display Network, Facebook, etc. to deliver BANCOM.IO
advertisements on third party publisher websites - these partners may
set cookies on your computer's web browser. These cookies allow our
partners to recognize your computer so that the ad server can show you
BANCOM.IO advertisements elsewhere on the Internet, and so that our
analytics software can measure your engagement and interactions while
using BANCOM.IO services. In this way, ad servers may compile anonymous,
de-identified information about where you, or others who are using your
computer, saw our advertisements, whether or not you interacted with
our advertisements, and actions performed on subsequent visits to
BANCOM.IO websites and applications. This information allows an ad
network to deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of
most interest to you, and it allows BANCOM.IO to optimize the
performance of our advertising campaigns and the usability of our
website. In other words, we use analytics data in concert with data
about our online ads that have been shown using the Google Display
Network, Facebook for Advertisers, or other online advertising networks.
By doing so, we can understand how anonymous users interacted with our
website after seeing our ads.
g. What third-party cookies does BANCOM.IO use?
Please note that the third parties (advertising networks and providers
of external services like web traffic analysis services) may also use
cookies on our Services. Cookies on our sites. Also, note that the names
of cookies, pixels and other technologies may change over time.
We use trusted partners to help us service advertising, who may place
cookies on your device. We also pull through content from social
networks into our own pages, such as embedded Facebook feeds. The social
networks, such as Facebook, Google, etc. may themselves also put
cookies on your machine. If a user logs into Facebook, Twitter or
Google+ via our website, they will leave a cookie on the users'
computer. This is the same process as if the user logs into these social
networks directly.
We also use Google Analytics on our Services to help us analyse how our
Services are used. Google Analytics uses performance cookies to track
customer’s interactions. For example, by using cookies, Google can tell
us which pages our users view, which are most popular, what time of day
our websites are visited, whether visitors have been to our websites
before, what website referred the visitor to our websites, and other
similar information. All of this information is anonymized.
We suggest that you should check the respective privacy policies for
these external services to help you understand what data these
organisations hold about you and how they process it.

our effort to track the success of our advertising campaigns, we may at
times use a visitor identification technology such as "web beacons," or
"action tags," which count visitors who have come to our site after
being exposed to a BANCOM.IO banner ad on a third party site. Our
partners may also use web beacons to collect data in the aggregate as
provided by your browser while you are on our site or another site where
BANCOM.IO is third party.
