- Strictly Necessary Cookies. These cookies are essential because they enable you to move around and use certain features on the website. For example, strictly necessary cookies allow you to access secure areas. Without these cookies, some content cannot be provided.
- Performance/Analytics Cookies. These cookies collect information about how you use the website. For example, a performance/analytics cookie will collect information about which pages you go to most often, how much time you spend on that page, or if you get error messages from certain pages. These cookies do not gather information that identifies you. The information these cookies collect is anonymous and is used to improve how the website works.
- Functionality Cookies. These cookies allow us to remember the choices you make and to tailor the website so we can provide relevant content to you. For example, a functionality cookie can remember your preferences (e.g., country or language selection), or your username.
- Targeting/Advertising Cookies. These cookies are used to provide advertisements that are more appealing to you and your interests, and to help measure the effectiveness of an advertising campaign. For example, a targeting/advertising cookie can remember that you have visited the website, and it may share this information with other organisations, such as advertisers. This means that after you have visited the website, you may see advertisements about our products and services elsewhere on the internet.
- Third-Party Cookies. Cookies from third-party providers that fall into one of the above categories, who may use information about your visits to other websites and online services to target advertisements for products and services available from Daon. We do not control the types of information collected and stored by these third-party cookies. You should check the third-party’s privacy policy for more information on how they use cookies. One way to do that is to download and use the Ghostery browser plug-in: www.ghostery.com/ghostery-ad-blocker. We are not responsible for the completeness or accuracy of these third-party notices or the effectiveness of their opt-outs or other features or functionality.

- COOKIE LIST
A cookie is a small piece of data (text file) that a website – when visited by a user – asks your browser to store on your device in order to remember information about you, such as your language preference or login information. . A “session ID” cookie expires when you end your session (i.e., close your browser). A “persistent” cookie remains on your hard drive after you end your session and is therefore still available when you return to the same website later.
Daon uses both session ID cookies and persistent cookies. We use session ID cookies to make it easier for you to navigate our website and use persistent cookies to store your passwords so you don’t have to enter them more than once. Persistent cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance their experience on the website. If you reject our cookies and/or similar tracking technologies, you may still use the website, but your ability to use services of the website will be limited.
Generally, Daon uses cookies, web beacons, pixels and tags to: (i) optimize and improve our website; (ii) identify your device; (iii) distinguish you from other visitors; (iv) record your IP address to understand your use of the website; (v) provide user authentication; (vi) monitor and maintain information about your use of the website; (vii) identify the name of the website from which you linked to our website; and (viii) to conduct fraud prevention and management services.
There are several types of cookies we process:
The law states that we can store cookies on your device if they are strictly necessary for the operation of our website. For all other types of cookies, we need your permission.
When you log on to our website for the first time, you will see a cookie banner asking for your consent to the use of cookies, with a link to further details about the types of cookies used, as well as a link to this Cookies Policy. You may choose to consent to our use of all cookies, or you may specify which types of cookies may be employed. All cookies used by and on our website are used in accordance with current laws. You can at any time change or withdraw your consent from the Cookie Declaration on our website.
Alternatively, most web browsers allow some control of most cookies through the browser settings. To find out more about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set, visit www.aboutcookies.org or www.allaboutcookies.org.

To opt out of being tracked by Google Analytics across all websites visit: Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on Download Page. Rejecting all cookies may have a negative impact upon the functionality of many websites or result in features not working on a website.
We automatically set cookies that are strictly necessary. We do not need your consent to use them. You cannot change these or opt-out because these are needed for the website to work properly. For all other cookies, we need your consent. We use cookies to save your cookie preferences.
Web beacons or “clear gifs,” are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of web users. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user’s computer hard drive or device, clear gifs are embedded invisibly on web pages and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. We,, and our third-party service provider, employ web beacons for the reasons stated above (under “Cookies”), but primarily to help us better manage content on the website by informing us which content is effective.
The cookies that are set by Daon are called first-party cookies. We also use third-party cookies – which are cookies from a domain different than the domain of the website you are visiting – for our advertising and marketing efforts. More specifically, we use cookies and other tracking technologies for the following purposes:
