Does your bank use Cloudflare for caching at all?  If they don't use it,
you won't have any issues with it.

Cloudflare is likely setting cookies in your browser in order to keep track
of connections, since you might have nultiple cloudflare-cached websites
open at the same time.  

Cloudflare is not examining your browser cache, it is in part replacing it.
