Our website www.mynestegg.com, uses cookies and similar small bits of software to improve the performance and enhance the user experience of our websites.

We are My Nest Egg Limited and we use cookies and similar technologies through our website, mobile Application and associated online content.

The use of cookies is common practice on the majority of websites. Without these cookies, many of the functions required to enable you to navigate through our website, to use our services and / or to make purchases would not be available.

We use cookies to enable us to understand how you interact with our website, to improve our service, and also to report on trends.

This cookie policy explains how we do that.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files which a website may put on your computer or mobile device when you first visit a website or page. The cookie will help the website, or another website, to recognise your device the next time you visit. We use the term “cookies” in this policy to refer to all files that collect information in this way.

There are many functions of cookies. Cookies enable you to move around the website and use its features. Without these cookies, you may experience problems using our website. Cookies can also provide us with information about how you use our website. Cookies can be used to show you adverts that are relevant to you, based on your browsing habits, and used to personalise your user experience. For example, to personalise your experience cookies can help us to remember your account details or username and preferences, analyse how well our websites are performing or even allow us to recommend content we believe will be most relevant to you.

Certain cookies can collect personal information, other cookies used do not collect information that identifies you and will instead collect more general information such as how users arrive at and use our websites or a user’s general location.

Cookies may be either "persistent" or "session" cookies. A persistent cookie consists of a text file sent by a web server to a web browser, which will be stored by the browser and will remain valid until its set expiry date (unless deleted by you before the expiry date). A session cookie will expire at the end of the user session, when the web browser is closed.

Cookies in use on our websites

We use the following types of cookies:

Essential or strictly necessary cookies.

Some cookies are essential for the operation of our websites. For example, some cookies enable you to log into secure areas of our website or make use of services. These types of cookies also allow us to identify account holders and ensure they can access the relevant pages. If an account holder opts to disable these cookies, they will not be able to access all of the content.

Analytical or performance cookies.

They allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our website when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way our website works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily. We use performance cookies to keep track of which pages are most popular, which method of linking between pages is most effective, and to determine why some pages are receiving error messages. We might also use these cookies to highlight articles or services that we think will be of interest to you based on your usage of our websites.
