Summary of our cookie policy
We currently use a small number of cookies and similar technologies to continuously improve our website, app and your browsing experience, including by helping us understand how users interact with our website and website content. Some cookies are also essential for our website’s basic functionality. With your consent, we also use analytics and advertising technologies, as explained below.
- Essential cookies: these are cookies without which our website cannot function. They help you access our website and each of its web pages by enabling basic functions like setting cookies. You may disable these by changing your browser settings, but this may affect how the website functions.
- Non-essential cookies and similar technologies: we need your permission to store, access and use these. For example, we use analytics technologies to understand how users interact with our website, including pages visited, navigation behaviour, session information and engagement with website content and campaigns. This helps us improve website performance, user experience and the effectiveness of our digital content. We also use advertising technologies to help show relevant Monument advertising on third-party websites. These technologies are only used where you have provided your consent. We do not intend analytics data to identify you directly or be linked to your account or financial products.
This policy describes in more detail how you can manage your cookies, the types of cookies we use and why we use them. You will always have the option to prevent some cookies from being stored, however, this could impact your experience.
Types of cookies
A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers that are stored on your browser or electronic device by the operators of websites that you visit. The length of time stored depends on the cookie, but this is generally between a few minutes and up to two years.
Our website monument.co and each of its web pages use two types of cookies:
- Session cookies: these are temporary cookies that are stored only while you are browsing our website and are removed as soon as you close the browser. We use them to provide you with a better experience, for example, to avoid the re-entry of information.
- Persistent cookies: These remain on your device even after you exit our website. We use them to recognise you when you come back and to remember your preferences. We can also use them to manage the traffic on our website efficiently and to improve your experience on our website. We store these for a maximum of 90 days.
- Similar technologies: We may also use similar technologies that access or store information on your device for analytics, consent management and website functionality, such as browser session storage. For the purposes of this policy, references to “cookies” include similar technologies unless the context requires otherwise.
Please be aware that cookies never store any of your bank account details.
Third party cookies
Session and persistent cookies can be either first- or third-party cookies. A first-party cookie is set by us, whilst a third-party cookie is provided by a third party that is providing a particular service.
We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. The cookies used by Google Analytics help us analyse how users use the website and to count the number of people who use the website. We will anonymise your IP address so that Google Analytics will store only an anonymised version from which you are not identifiable. However, please note that Google Inc may transfer any data obtained through the use of Google Analytics to the US in order to balance its server usage. The US does not afford the same level of legal protections as are available in Europe, and in accepting our use of Google Analytics you are acknowledging that your anonymised IP address may be transferred to the US.
We may also use website analytics technologies provided by other third-party services providers to understand how users interact with our website, including page visits, navigation behaviour, clicks, session information and engagement with content. These analytics technologies help us improve website performance, user experience and the effectiveness of our digital content. These technologies are only activated where you have provided your consent through our consent management platform.
