In our efforts to deliver relevant digital advertising to you, we utilize cookies and beacons to evaluate our Sites and our Apps to track digital advertising performance. To do this, we engage third-party service providers to conduct these activities on our behalf. We call these third parties "Analytics Providers” and we use them to enhance Online Behavioral Advertising, or “OBA.” OBA helps us to deliver advertising content that is more likely to be of interest to you, and we use OBA information and other information about your activities on our Sites and Apps to help us determine which of our ads are more likely to appeal to you.

A cookie is an electronic file our Sites place on your computer to store information that makes your visit to our Sites and your use of our Apps more efficient.

We only use cookies to provide better services and more effective Sites and Apps. Additional information about cookies and how they work is available at www.allaboutcookies.org.

"Beacons" include small graphic files with a unique identifier that are used to track a visitor to our Sites’ or user of our Apps’ online movements over time and across different websites. Unlike cookies, beacons are embedded on websites, not downloaded on your computer or device. Bank of the West uses beacons to better manage content on our Sites and to improve the use and efficiency of our Apps.

We allow selected Analytics Providers to place cookies and beacons through our Sites. We do this to get better insights into the use of the Sites, to improve our understanding of our users’ demographics, and to engage in Online Behavioral Advertising.

Encryption: When you log in to any of the Bank's online services using our Sites or Apps, your login and personal information are protected by Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption, a security protocol that helps to ensure the data sent over the Internet between your device and us remains confidential. For our web sites, Bank of the West secure websites use Extended Validation Certificates to provide greater assurance you are communicating with the Bank and not another site that falsely claims or pretends to be the Bank (called “spoofing”). In most browsers, these certificates are identified and a secure connection is identified by a green address bar and padlock.

Secure Passwords: If you bank online with us, we provide an additional layer of security for your information by the mandatory use of a username and password to access account information. It is important that your password is kept confidential. Your password should be unique to your Bank of the West login, difficult to guess, and ideally should have both lowercase and uppercase letters and also numbers and special characters.
