COOKIES
The CU does not utilize internet "cookies" for passive tracking of personal information. The CU may utilize cookies to assist in the authentication of FAFCU online banking users and the user's computer. Cookies are a feature of web browser software that allows web servers to recognize the computer used to access a website. They are small bits of data that are stored by a user's web browser on the user's hard drive. Cookies can remember what information a user accesses on one web page to simplify subsequent interactions with that website by the same user or to use the information to streamline the user's transactions on related web pages.

Cookies should make your online experience easier and more personalized.
Some of our associated companies may themselves use cookies on their own websites. We have no access to, or control of these cookies, should this occur.

CONFIDENTIALITY AND SECURITY
User CU information is password-protected. The CU uses industry-standard SSL encryption to protect data transmissions. Emails that User may send without logging into the CU Website may not be secure. For that reason, we ask that you do not send confidential information such as Social Security or account numbers to us through an unsecured email. We provide a number of additional security features at the CU. After logging in, User online "session" will "timeout" after twenty (20) minutes of inactivity and User will be automatically logged off. This prevents other individuals from accessing personal information in case User has left PC unattended without logging out. When User submits User password, it is compared with the password we have stored in our secure database. We allow User to enter their password incorrectly three (3) times. If User enters password incorrectly more than three (3) times, User access to the CU will be locked until User calls us to reactivate the account. We monitor and record "bad login" attempts to detect any suspicious activity, such as someone trying to guess a User password.
