Please read this Cookie Policy carefully before using the Website. Any and all terms not defined in this Policy are defined in the legal information section on the website and can be found at Legal Information | Asset Management | Lombard Odier
1. What is a cookie or other such technology?
“Cookies” are small files, typically consisting of letters and numbers, that are downloaded and stored on a device such as a website user’s computer, smartphone or tablet. The next time the site is accessed, this file is automatically transmitted to the server. The purpose of the cookie is to enable the site to identify a user’s device.
“Other such technologies” or “other trackers” are defined as any technical process or mechanism that stores information on, or accesses, a user’s device, even when not using a conventional cookie file. These technologies include in particular: web beacons, invisible pixels, marketing tags, tracking scripts, embedded software development kits (SDKs), advertising identifiers, fingerprinting technologies and any other method for collecting, reading or transmitting data from or to a user’s device, even when not using a conventional cookie file.

2. How can a user disable or block cookies?
From our Cookie Management Centre (the “Centre”), you can choose to allow or reject the different types of cookies described in section 4 of this Policy.
Certain categories of cookie are blocked by default. The Centre allows you to either “Accept all” or make granular choices and accept only specific categories of cookie before selecting “Save preference” or “Reject all”.
From the outset, you can also choose to restrict or block cookies set when using the Website by changing your browser's settings. Please refer to your browser’s help section for precise information on managing cookies.
Certain features of the website may not work if you completely disable cookies through the Centre or in the browser, but this will not affect its overall usability.
3. Why does LOIM use cookies?
LOIM uses cookies when you visit the website for five purposes:
- to ensure the Website works as it should and to allow you to use the online products and services offered by LOIM
- to collect data on Website usage, such as frequency of use statistics, which are then used to improve the online products and services offered by LOIM
- to prepare, deploy and broadcast marketing and advertising campaigns online or through social media
- to optimise and analyse the performance of marketing and advertising campaigns
- to save your preferences and improve your user experience.
4. What types of cookies does LOIM use?
LOIM uses several types of cookies for the above purposes.
Some of these – essential cookies – are strictly necessary and cannot be disabled, while others, such as marketing cookies and statistical cookies are optional and blocked by default.
Cookies can also be classified by how long they are stored for. LOIM uses:
- session cookies, which are automatically deleted when the browser is closed
- persistent cookies, which are saved on your device for a limited period of time.
These cookies may be placed by LOIM (first-party cookies) or by third parties whose services are integrated into the Website (third-party cookies).
So that you can make an informed choice in the Centre, you will find below an exhaustive list by category of cookies used by the Website.
