Our Cookies Policy

This document describes how we use cookies and other online technologies such as pixels or tags on our websites. It applies to anyone who visits our websites or apps, and should be read along with our Privacy Statement, Data Privacy Notice and website Terms and Conditions.

When we use the words we, our and us here, we mean Bank of Ireland and Bank of Ireland Group plc. The word cookie in this document can also refer to other technologies that collect information when you use our website or apps.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small pieces of information, placed on your device by us when you visit a website or use an app belonging to us. Some of these cookies can be recognised by websites when you visit them. This can help keep track of your preferences, and also helps us keep our website and apps secure.

Pixels are small, invisible pieces of code that work like a cookie, but instead of storing information in a browser, they deliver information to a server. Tags allow website operators to track, report, and analyse a website using a series of codes.

Later in this document we include information on how you can manage cookies.

How do we use them?

The cookies we use (see the table further on in this document) help to give you a better banking experience in different ways, including:

  • Improving the way our services work
  • Adding to the security of our websites and apps, for example when you’re logged in to our digital banking services
  • Showing advertising which you may find useful and which may be relevant for you
  • Enabling live chat for when you want to talk to us online

Where you interact with any of our careers websites, we use cookies to:

  • Show jobs and relevant career content (and optimising that content based on how visitors interact with the website).
  • Record your contact and notification preferences and to understand how and when visitors use our websites (including when they apply for jobs with us) which helps us streamline our online recruitment processes.

How long do the cookies last?

Type of cookie Details
Session Stored in your device’s memory only while your browser is open. Our cookies tables indicate if a cookie is a session cookie.
Persistent Remain stored until a specific expiry date or until you delete them. Our cookies tables tell you the duration of these cookies. See the section “How can you manage cookies” for information on how to delete cookies.

Who provides the cookie?

First party Placed by us on your device and used only by us. Our cookies tables have details of Bank of Ireland cookies.
Third party Cookies owned by other organisations (such as our advertising partners) used on our websites and apps. Our cookies tables have details of the third party cookies we use.

What categories of cookies do we use?

The cookies we use fall into four categories: necessary, functional, performance and advertising. Click on the relevant category to find out more and see a list of cookies.

  • Necessary cookies

    These allow you to move around and access secure areas of our websites and apps. Without them, we cannot provide the online services you may want. You do not need to give us consent for necessary cookies to be used – they will be set automatically if you use our website or apps.
