Our website uses technology to collect information about its use, distinguish between users, help us provide you with a good experience, and allow us to improve the site and the service we offer. This means that Browser Cookies or similar technologies will be placed on your computer or another device when you visit our website.
About Browser Cookies

What are Browser Cookies?

Browser Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, smartphone, or other device when you visit our website. A cookie file is stored on your device and allows us or our third-party partners (see below) to recognise you and make your visit easier and more useful.


How does Loan Shop UK use Browser Cookies?

Browser Cookies allow us to recognise users (where appropriate), tailor the content on our website to fit the needs of our website’s visitors and helps us improve the user experience. Without certain types of Browser Cookies enabled, we can’t guarantee that the website and your experience of it are as we intended it to be.

We use Browser Cookies to obtain information about your visits and about the device you use to access our website.
This includes, where available, your IP address and pseudonymous identifiers, operating system, and browser type. Depending on the cookie, it also includes reporting statistical data about our users’ browsing actions and patterns.

Here are some examples of how we use Browser Cookies

Without Browser Cookies enabled, you can’t use Online Banking. It uses browser cookies to protect you online and prevent fraudulent activity.
If you ever ask us to ‘Remember my ID’ to allow you to log on more efficiently, we’ll use a cookie to make it work.
Without Browser Cookies enabled, you can’t apply online for our products. Our application forms use Browser Cookies to ensure that your application is secure and protected from fraud.
Our website analytics services, categorised as ‘Experience and insight,’ use Browser Cookies to see how visitors reach our website and the path they take through it. This helps us improve our service to you.

Types of Browser Cookies

The time a cookie stays on your device depends on its type. We use two types of Browser Cookies on our website:

Session Browser Cookies are temporary Browser Cookies that only exist when you use the website (or more strictly, until you close the browser after using the website). Session Browser Cookies help our website remember what you chose on the previous page, avoiding the need to re-enter information and improve your experience whilst using the website.


Persistent Browser Cookies stay on your device after you visit our website. For example, if you tick the ‘Remember my ID’ box when you log onto Online Banking, a persistent cookie will be used so that the website remembers you the next time you use it. Persistent Browser Cookies help us identify you as a unique visitor.

Third-Party Websites

Our website may link through to third-party websites that may also use Browser Cookies which we don’t control. We recommend that you check the privacy and cookie policies of those websites for information about the Browser Cookies they may use and the collection of personal data. We can’t accept any responsibility for any content contained in these third-party websites.
Tracking technologies in our e-mails

As well as the Browser Cookies we use on our website, we use web beacons and link tracking in e-mails. Using both technologies means we can try to improve the e-mails we send you.

Web beacons help us understand whether you’ve opened an email, what time and date that was, how often you re-open it, what sort of device and software you used and your IP address.

Link tracking helps us understand who has clicked through from an email to visit our website. We use a unique link in each email, so when you click on one of these links you are first redirected to our mailing company server, which logs the click, before arriving at the relevant page on our website.
Don’t want tracking technologies in email?

If you don’t want to accept tracking technologies you can choose to:

Not open any of our e-mails
Avoid clicking any links if you’ve opened an email, or
Set your browser security settings to block all Browser Cookies.
