F4ID COOKIE POLICY
Cookie Policy
This cookie policy explains how cookies and similar technologies, such as pixels, beacons, and tags (together “cookies”) are used by Fintech for International Development (“we” or “our”) on our websites and other online services.
What are cookies and why do we use them?
Cookies are small text files stored in your browser’s memory by our websites. They are commonly used to support various functions on our websites.
Cookies do other very useful jobs, such as tell us which pages you visited the most, understand how effective our website has been to you, and improve our communication to you on our products and services.
We do not use cookies to collect information that directly identifies you as an individual. However, some information collected by cookies may be treated as personal data (such as your browsing history, or your device information).
Depending on the job the cookie needs to perform, it may be a session or persistent cookie:
Persistent cookies are retained on your device until you either erase them or your browser erases them when the cookie reaches its expiration date.
Session cookies are temporary and expire once you close your browser or once your session ends.
What type of cookies do we use?
To help you better understand what cookies we apply to our websites, we have classified our cookies in four categories: Strictly Necessary, Performance, Functional and Targeting.
Category 1: Strictly Necessary
