Cookies policy

This policy provides information about what cookies we use to support the website’s functionality, and what information they are looking to collect.

Overview

This provides information about cookies and how they are used on the website.

We are committed to protecting your privacy during your visits to the website and recognise it is our responsibility to hold your information securely and confidentially.

As with most websites, we use cookies to improve your experience on the website. We do not link the information that we store in cookies to any information you submit, while on our website, that can personally identify you. If you choose to opt out of cookies, you may still use our website, but your ability to use some areas may be limited and your experience may be affected.

Cookies are small files which are stored on a user’s computer and hold data relating to a specific website. Cookies are placed on the user’s computer by that website and accessed each time a user browses the site.

We primarily use cookies to collect data to help us improve our website by understanding which parts of the website are used, for how long, how users navigate between pages and what people click on. They also remember your preferences, and generally aim to improve your online experience.

In most cases, cookies only provide anonymised information, and you will diminish your browsing experience by disabling them.

If you delete cookies relating to this website, you will have to reset your preferences, including those for cookies, and you will be treated as a first-time visitor the next time you visit the website.

We would like you to know which cookies we employ, why we use them, and give you the option to opt-out of us using them on your device. The different types of cookies that we typically use include:

Session cookies Only last for the duration of your visit and are deleted when you close your browser.
Persistent cookies Remain after you have closed your browser and allow a website to remember your actions and preferences.
Strictly necessary cookies Essential in order to enable you to move around the website and use its features. Without these cookies, we will not be able to connect you to our website properly.
Performance cookies Collect information about how visitors use a website, for instance which pages visitors go to most often or regularly. These cookies don’t collect information that identifies a visitor although they may collect the IP address of the device used to access the site. All the information these cookies collect is anonymous and is only used to improve how a website works, the user experience and to optimise advertising.
Functional cookies Allow the website to remember choices you make (such as geolocation or client investor type). They may also be used to provide services you have requested such as watching a video. The information these cookies collect is anonymised (i.e. it does not contain personal information) and they do not track your browsing activity across other websites
Targeting cookies Collect several pieces of information about your browsing habits. They are usually placed by advertising networks. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organisations such as media publishers. These organisations do this in order to provide you with targeted adverts more relevant to you and your interests.
First and third-party cookies Whether a cookie is a first or third-party cookie depends on which website the cookie comes from. First party cookies are those set by or on behalf of the website visited. All other cookies are third party cookies such as Facebook, Google, X (Twitter), and YouTube. Nedbank Private Wealth uses both first party and third-party cookies.

More details on the first and third-party cookies we typically use are listed here.

“Do not track” signals

Some web browsers may transmit “do not track” signals to the websites and other online services with which your browser communicates. There is no standard as to how these are governed and what, if anything, websites should do when they receive these signals. We currently do not take any action in response to these signals. If, and when, a standard for responding is established, we may revisit our policy about responding to these signals.
