    Frequently asked questions

    How long are cookies saved for?

    This depends on whether they are session cookies or persistent cookies.

    Session cookies delete themselves once you close your browser. Session cookies can help with security, and also remember what you’ve done on previous web pages so you don’t have to re-enter information.

    Persistent cookies stay on your device after you close your browser. They’re used for lots of different things – one example is remembering your cookie preferences between visits, so you don’t need to keep telling us which cookies to use. In case you’ve forgotten about them, or changed your mind, we’ll ask you to confirm your cookie preferences every six months. You can update your choice at any time by clicking on the ‘cookie policy’ link at the bottom of any page.

    What type of cookies does Phoenix Wealth use in Phoenix Wealth and Online Services websites?

    We only use first party cookies on these sites.

    First party cookies are set by the website you’re using and aren’t shared elsewhere even across our different websites. Often these cookies are used to remember information about how you used a platform.

    How do I manage cookies?

    When you turn off any non-essential cookies, and after you refresh or move away from this page, we will stop setting or using those cookies.

    How do I delete cookies?

    You can use your browser settings to delete Cookies that have already been set at any time. You can also use your browser settings to manage cookies to switch off a cookie altogether. If you do this, it could mean that we can't use strictly necessary cookies properly and so parts of our website may not work correctly.
