How we use cookies

Cookies are small pieces of information which are placed onto your computer's hard disk by a website you have visited. They can be accessed at a later date by the same website, to retrieve details you may have supplied to that site.

For example, a weather site may ask you to specify where you live. It would then store this information in a cookie, so that when you return to the site it knows which forecast to show you.

Cookies from the Bank of Scotland International website (apart from those which store your sign in details) remain in your browser for 90 days before they expire.

If you have any anti-spyware software installed on your computer, e.g. 'cookie washing', you may be unable to have your username remembered.
