| Arctoid | Used as part of the authentication process for Digital Banking to ensure a secure and smooth end user experience. The use of the arcotid ensures that the member’s password is never transmitted over the internet, enhancing the security of the authentication process. Instead the member’s password is used to gain access to a ‘key’ contained within the arcotid. When a member chooses to ‘trust the device’ that they are on, the arcotid is persisted in the member’s browser. Otherwise this cookie is only persisted for the session and is deleted whenever the browser is close | N / A | |
| Deviceid | An authentication cookie that is used to uniquely tag the device and ultimately associate devices with the member. This allows an additional level of risk based security to the authentication process. The cookie value is an encrypted string stored on the end user’s machine. | N / A |
