Your choices when it comes to cookies
Tesco Bank is now part of Barclays UK and Barclays UK will act as the data controller for data collected via the tescobank.com website for banking pages. During a transition phase, pages relating to insurance and money services products (gift cards and travel money) will remain on tescobank.com. Cookies on those pages are deployed by or on behalf of Tesco Insurance & Money Services (Tesco Personal Finance plc), which acts as a data controller for the data collected on those pages. You may see different cookie consent banners on the website during this transitional phase, captured by Barclays UK and Tesco Insurance & Money Services separately.
