Information about Cookies:
Cookies facilitate certain features that can make the surfing experience more convenient and valuable for Web users.
A "cookie" is a small piece of information which a web server can store on your web browser. This is useful for having your browser remember some specific information which the web server can later retrieve. As you browse the web, some cookies are "set" on your Web browser. When you quit your browser, some cookies are stored in your computer's memory in a cookie file, while some expire, or disappear. All cookies have expiration dates. The cookie is set on a particular browser on a particular computer, so when you use a different computer, the cookie will not exist.

Cookies of Other Companies
We occasionally use other companies to set cookies on our websites and gather cookie information for us. In some cases we will also use another company to operate web servers for our sites. We use the cookie information gathered by these companies in the same manner as stated in the previous section. The companies we use may not use these cookies for their own internal purposes or share the information gathered with anyone other than Citibank, in accordance with the terms of the contracts they have signed with us.
Applying for Citi Services Online
Citibank Online Application Systems may use cookies that are used to enable or facilitate fraud monitoring. No session data or PII data is stored in the cookies used by Citibank Online Application Systems.
Registering Online
Citibank users can opt for Online Banking Service. Users can select the option to “Remember by User ID” in the login page during the login process. The cookies will then store the User ID in your system to facilitate your login process in future sessions. This option is not enabled by default and must be explicitly enabled by the user.
Site Personalization
Cookies allow users to indicate what types of information they are interested in receiving when they visit a particular site. Users can then view only what they are interested in and not waste time with news or information of no interest to them.
Web Site Tracking
Tracking allows site owners to find out what pages visitors link to, and interpret or infer what is interesting to them. This helps the owners of sites to keep their content fresh and relevant.
Device Tracking
We may use similar technologies, particularly in mobile advertising, that use device information to help deliver our advertisements and measure advertising campaign effectiveness. We and companies we work with may collect your device information when you visit one of our sites or see our ads. Compiling and comparing these attributes can create a unique ID for individual devices and can be "matched" to the same attributes appearing on other sites or mobile applications. Some companies we work with are also able to associate related devices into households based on common characteristics, such as IP addresses.
Targeted Marketing
Like most advertisers, we place advertisements where we think they will be most relevant to customers. We place advertisements by developing and using our own marketing segments that may combine online and offline information about our current and prospective customers. Cookies can be used to build a profile of where on a particular site you visit. This information is then used to target advertising that might be of interest to you.
Security
Cookies cannot be used to obtain data from your hard drive, get your e-mail address or steal sensitive or personal information about you. The only way that any private information could be part of your cookie file would be if you personally gave that information to a Web server. Note also that computer viruses are not passed through the setting or use of cookies.
Opt-out Mechanism
If you, as a visitor, want to disallow cookies you can do so on your Web browser. It's important to note that the information we use about you helps us provide you with products, services and experiences that benefit you. You have the ability to control how your non-personal information is collected and used online.
