Cookie policy
Fidelity's cookie policy outlines our use of cookies. The policy explains how cookies are used on Fidelity websites, what cookies may be set when you visit the websites and how to manage and delete them.
What are cookies?
Like most other websites, our Fidelity website uses cookies. Cookies are small text files stored on your computer or mobile device by your browser. They are used for many things, such as remembering whether you have visited our site before, matching content to your preferred interests or to help us work out how many new website visitors we get each month.
No cookies used by Fidelity store personally identifiable data such as:
Your Customer ID is collected when you log in to the website which enables us to identify who you are. Further information about this is included below.
How to remove browser cookies and cache
About this cookie policy
This cookie policy applies to all Fidelity websites and mobile applications.
Throughout this cookie policy, any references to our website cover any website or mobile application maintained by Fidelity. This cookie policy forms part of our website security and privacy provisions.
By accessing our website, you agree that this cookie policy will apply whenever you access our website on any device.
Fidelity reserves the right to update this cookie policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted within this page and shall become effective as soon as they are posted. Continued use of the website or app constitutes your agreement to all such updates.
Fidelity Security Key
Fidelity uses a security key, something that is similar to a cookie, when you register and log in using the Fidelity app and website. It’s designed to enhance the log in process, making it easier for you to log in and at the same time, provide an additional layer of protection. In order to achieve this it stores your username and password, but in an encrypted format. We won’t be able to personally identify you with this information and we won’t know what your password actually is but it will enable us to recognise that it’s you when you log in from that same device.
When you register and log in using the Fidelity app, we will initially verify your email address and then automatically store the security key on your device for the next time you log in. This will help us identify you more easily when you next log in, and make your mobile login process easier for you.
When you register and log in to Fidelity.co.uk, we ask your permission to store the security key on your web browser. It isn’t mandatory, but accepting the security key will again help us to identify you more easily when you next log in, and make your web login process easier for you.
If you choose not to allow the security key, you will need to go through additional log in processes, each and every time you log in to the web.
Fidelity use of cookies
The following use of cookies do not apply to the Fidelity App.
Fidelity may collect other information automatically when you visit the website, using cookies or local storage in the case of mobile. This allows us to identify your computer and find out details about your last visit.
- Cookies help us recognise you as a unique visitor when you return to our website, allowing Fidelity to tailor your online experience.
- They enable us to measure and understand how visitors use our site, driving improvement.
- We might store information entered in tools, such as calculators or demonstrations on our website. This information may need to be temporarily stored to deliver these types of services efficiently and is not used for any other means.
If you choose not to allow cookies, the quality of your browsing experience may be reduced.
Information collected by cookies identifies your computer and your connection to the internet. We collect general information about your computer settings, and your connection to the internet, for example your operating system and platform, IP address, browsing patterns and interactions with our sites.
We also collect your Customer ID when you log in to the website. This enables us to contact you should you submit any feedback on our website.
For more information on cookies please visit the Information Commissioner’s Office† website and the All About Cookies† website.
Cookies and emails
Fidelity also uses cookies and similar technologies in the emails that we send. We will gather information such as your IP address and geographical location, as well as whether you open the email, which links you click on within the email and any Fidelity webpages you subsequently visit. We will have the ability link any activity on Fidelity webpages and emails we send to your email address. This is done by matching your IP address as opposed to storing any personal information about you. Please note this does not track any activity on non-Fidelity pages. You can remove these cookies from your device at any time by clearing your cookies and cache.

Please remember that past performance is not necessarily a guide to future performance, the performance of investments is not guaranteed, and the value of your investments can go down as well as up, so you may get back less than you invest. When investments have particular tax features, these will depend on your personal circumstances and tax rules may change in the future. This website does not contain any personal recommendations for a particular course of action, service or product. You should regularly review your investment objectives and choices and, if you are unsure whether an investment is suitable for you, you should contact an authorised financial adviser.

Prior to investing into a fund, please read the relevant key information document which contains important information about the fund.
