Policy

Understanding how Wescom Financial Credit Union utilizes data fragments to optimize your eBranch experience and digital security.

The Digital
Handshake

When you access your wescom ebranch login or browse our loan products, small data files called "cookies" are placed on your device. These are standard across the financial industry to ensure your session remains secure and your preferences are remembered.

At Wescom Credit Union, we prioritize your privacy as much as your financial growth. This document outlines exactly what we track and why.

01 / Defining the Protocol

Cookies are text-only strings of information that a website transfers to the cookie file of the browser on your computer's hard disk so that the website can remember who you are. A cookie will typically contain the name of the domain from which the cookie has come, the "lifetime" of the cookie, and a value, usually a randomly generated unique number.

Within the wescom online banking environment, these identifiers help us verify that you are the authorized member interacting with your accounts, preventing session hijacking and ensuring a wescom secure login experience.

Security

Essential & System Cookies

Authentication

Necessary for your wescom login session. Without these, our system cannot recognize you as you move between pages in the eBranch, requiring you to re-authenticate for every single action.

Fraud Prevention

We use persistent cookies to recognize devices that have previously accessed wescom credit union online banking. This helps us flag suspicious activity from unrecognized hardware.

Policy Nuance FAQ

Does Wescom use cookies for marketing?

We only use marketing-related tracking to show you relevant wescom credit products based on your activity within our own site. For instance, if you visit our auto loan pages, we might show you current rates for those products next time you visit wescom ebranch. We never share this with external lead-gen agencies.

Is a "wescom visa" cookie a major security risk?

No. Cookies used for wescom visa credit card management do not store your actual credit card number or CVV. They store temporary session tokens that authorize access to your statement portal only after you have completed a wescom secure login.

What happens if I block all cookies?

The wescom online banking login will fail to function. Because we are a wescom financial credit union, federal regulations require us to be able to identify your device and maintain a continuous session for security. Total cookie blockage breaks this security chain.
