1. What Are Cookies & Web Beacons?

A cookie is a small text file containing a unique identifier that is stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit Hillridge's website or access our digital banking portals.

Web beacons (also referred to as pixel tags or clear GIFs) are tiny graphics with unique identifiers embedded invisibly on web pages or HTML emails. We use these technologies to verify system security, confirm authorized session access, and deliver an efficient browsing experience.

2. How We Utilize Tracking Technologies

Hillridge uses session cookies (which expire automatically when you close your web browser) and persistent cookies (which remain on your device until they expire or are cleared) for the following core operational reasons:

Authentication & Fraud Prevention: Verifying user identity during active banking sessions and preventing unauthorized login hijacking.
Load Balancing & Performance: Distributing server traffic across infrastructure nodes to maintain uptime during peak activity.
Preferences: Retaining your interface options, such as language settings, font sizing, and dashboard layouts.
