2. What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide aggregated reporting information. We use the term ‘cookies’ to include all technologies that work in a similar way. Cookies set by a website owner (in this case, Goldman Sachs) are called "first party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third party cookies". On the Website we only use first party cookies.

3. Why do we use cookies?

We use cookies for several reasons. Some first party cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Website to operate. Other cookies are required to make the Website function well in the way you would like it to. For example, we monitor information and suspicious activity on the website to help protect it from misuse and identify errors. We refer to these all as "strictly necessary" cookies.

4. Do you serve targeted advertising?

We do not currently serve targeted advertising to visitors of our Website.

5. How can you control cookies?

You can however set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse all cookies. If you choose to reject all cookies, you may still use our Website though your access to some functionality and areas of our website may be restricted.
