Last modified: February 22, 2025

At ZEST CAPITAL LIMITED (herein after referred as “ZEST), we are committed to providing you with a secure and efficient online experience. This includes protecting your privacy and security when you use our website. To do this, we use cookies and other security measures. Below is an overview of how we use these tools and what they mean for you.

What are cookies?

A cookie is a small piece of information that a website stores on your computer. When you visit the website again, the cookie allows the site to recognize your browser. Cookies often store your preferences and other information that helps customize your experience.

How we use cookies

We use cookies for several reasons, including:

• To help you navigate ZEST websites efficiently and perform certain functions.
• To remember your preferences and settings.
• To improve the performance of our website and make it easier for you to use.

You can choose to refuse cookies or tell your browser to let you know each time that a website tries to set a cookie. However, refusing cookies means some sections of the site will not work properly.

Session cookies – ZEST Online

Session cookies are stored in your browser only for the extent of time that you are connected to ZEST. We use session cookies to guide the dialog from page to page within ZEST and to control the logout process. When you click the ‘Logout’ button, the session cookie expires. To perform any further enquiries or transactions, you must log back into ZEST, establishing a new session cookie. Session cookies are time sensitive; after sometime of inactivity, the session cookie expires and you are automatically logged out of ZEST.

Persistent cookies

These are stored on your computer until they expire or you remove them. Persistent cookies store your personal preferences such as your language preferences on multi-lingual sites to make subsequent visits easier. They also remember questions we have asked you previously, such as a request to update your contact information. A persistent cookie will prevent you from being asked to complete the same information every time you visit the website.

Firewalls

A firewall acts as a barrier between internal and external computers in a network, controlling the flow of information between the two. When a computer outside the firewall wishes to communicate with a computer inside, it must communicate with the firewall, which then passes the data to the internal computer. This two-step process helps protect ZEST internal network from unauthorised access.

Security Audits

ZEST is committed to ensuring our security measures are of the highest of standards. We have, therefore, employed an external auditing firm to perform regular security audits against of our infrastructure to ensure we are not exposed to new vulnerabilities in hardware and software.

Digital Certificates

To help ensure the security of your account information, we use a system involving Digital Identification Certificates from third-party providers of digital authentication products and services. Digital certificates provide the means of verifying the identity of each party in an electronic transmission. Through the use of a digital certificate, you can verify that you are actually transacting with ZEST companies when you transmit personal or financial information to us through our website.
