Cookie notice

Effective date: April 27, 2026

This Cookie Notice explains how FirstOntario Credit Union uses cookies and similar technologies on our website (the “Website”). This notice should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Notice.

A cookie is a small piece of data (text file) that a website – when visited by a user – asks your browser to store on your device in order to remember information about you, such as your language preference or login information. Those cookies are set by us and called first-party cookies. We also use third-party cookies – which are cookies from a domain different than the domain of the website you are visiting – for our advertising and marketing efforts. More specifically, we use cookies and other tracking technologies for the following purposes:

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are essential for the Website to function correctly. They do not gather information about you that could be used for marketing or remembering where you have been on the Internet. Because these cookies are necessary, we do not require your consent to use them. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not then work. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.

Functional cookies

These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation. They may be set by us or by third party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies then some or all of these services may not function properly.

Performance cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our site and will not be able to monitor its performance.

Targeting cookies

These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They do not store directly personal information, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.

Third-party cookies

We may allow third-party service providers, such as analytics and advertising networks, to place cookies on our Website. These third parties may collect information about your online activities over time and across different websites. We do not control these third-party cookies, and you should consult the respective privacy policies of these third parties for more information.

How to manage your cookie preferences

You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to accept or reject all cookies or choose which types to accept. You can also delete cookies that have already been set. However, if you disable or delete certain cookies, some parts of the Website may not function correctly.

• Accept all cookies: By clicking “Accept all cookies,” you consent to all cookies, including necessary, functional, performance, and targeting.
• Manage cookie preferences: By clicking “Manage cookie preferences,”  you can select which categories of cookies you wish to allow.

Changes to this cookie notice

We may update this Cookie Notice from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised “Effective Date.” We encourage you to review this Cookie Notice periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies.
