• If you are being prompted to register your computer every time you log in, your browser might not be allowing cookies. Online Banking places a cookie on your computer when you register your browser. This lets online banking know that you have confirmed and trust the computer being used.
• If you are not accepting cookies, or deleting them, then you will be prompted to register your computer

Note: If you have a security program that clears your Internet cookies, or if you clear them manually, you will be required to re-register your computer. You may choose to adjust this setting in your browser’s Tools or Internet Options settings.  Please be aware that the system prompts for a code to be entered for security purposes when login behavior or your location changes. This is an enhanced security feature and cannot be turned off.

You will only have to register your computer once for each device/browser you use to access Online Banking. For example, you may register your home computer using Chrome; however, if you use that same computer the next time using Firefox or another browser, you will have to register again. That’s because the cookie that “registers” the computer is saved in a specific file for that browser.

Note: If you have a security program that clears your Internet cookies, or if you clear them manually, you will be required to re-register your computer immediately following that event. You may choose to adjust this setting in your browser’s Tools or Internet Options settings.

Cookies are small text files placed on your hard drive that permit web sites to store information about your visit. In most instances, this information is used to personalize subsequent visits to the web site or to remember any personal settings or customization available to you on the site. Most cookies are harmless, particularly when received from web sites such as your personal online banking site for your financial institution.

There are two types of cookies: temporary and permanent. Temporary cookies are used and tracked by the browser to pass information and are deleted once the browser is shut down. Permanent cookies are stored on your system and can be accessed again for multiple visits. Permanent cookies usually have an expiration date and will be automatically deleted from your system at that time.
