1. Information About Our Use of Cookies
This Cookie Policy explains how DataOne (“DataOne”, “we”, “us” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on www.dataone.eu (the “Website”).
Our Website uses cookies to distinguish users, enable the Website to operate securely and effectively, remember user preferences, understand how visitors use the Website and improve the Website and user experience.
This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how DataOne processes and protects personal data.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet or other device when you visit a website. Cookies allow websites to recognise a user’s device and may store information about user preferences or Website activity.
We may also use similar technologies, such as pixels, tags and local storage. References to “cookies” in this Policy include such similar technologies where applicable.
Cookies may be:
● Session cookies, which are temporary and expire when you close your browser;
● Persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a specified period or until deleted;
● First-party cookies, which are set by DataOne; or
● Third-party cookies, which are set by third-party providers whose services are used on the Website.
3. Categories of Cookies We Use
3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the Website to operate properly and securely.
They may be used for purposes including:
● Website functionality;
● security and fraud prevention;
● maintaining sessions;
● remembering privacy and cookie preferences; and
● load balancing and system integrity.
Strictly necessary cookies are activated by default because they are required for the operation of the Website and do not require consent where permitted by applicable law.
3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies
Analytics and performance cookies allow DataOne to recognise and count visitors and understand how users
interact with and navigate the Website.
They may be used to:
● measure Website traffic;
● analyse usage patterns;
● identify frequently visited pages;
● identify Website performance issues; and
● improve Website functionality and user experience.
Where required by applicable law, these cookies are activated only after the user has provided consent.
3.3 Functionality Cookies
Functionality cookies allow the Website to provide enhanced functionality and remember choices made by users, such as language, region or other Website preferences.
Where consent is required under applicable law, functionality cookies are activated only after the user has provided consent.
3.4 Targeting and Marketing Cookies
Where used, targeting or marketing cookies may record visits to the Website, pages visited and links followed and may be used to measure communications or marketing campaigns or provide content that is more relevant to users.
These cookies may be set by DataOne or by authorised third-party providers.
Targeting or marketing cookies will only be activated with prior user consent where required by applicable law.
4. Cookies Used on the Website
The specific cookies used on the Website, including their provider, purpose, category and duration, are
identified in the cookie declaration or cookie settings interface available on the Website.
The cookies deployed may change from time to time as the Website, its functionality and the services used
by DataOne are updated. DataOne will review and update the relevant cookie information accordingly.
5. Consent and Cookie Preferences
When users first access the Website, they are presented with a cookie notice or preference interface enabling them, as applicable, to:
● accept cookies;
● reject non-essential cookies; and
● customise their cookie preferences by category.
Where consent is required by applicable law, non-essential cookies will not be activated unless and until the user has provided the required affirmative consent.
Consent may be withdrawn or modified at any time through the cookie settings or preference interface available on the Website.
Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.
Where required by applicable data protection laws, DataOne maintains appropriate records of users’ cookie consent and preferences.
6. Third-Party Cookies
Certain Website functions or services may be provided by third parties, including, where applicable, analytics, content, social media, video or other technology providers.
Such third parties may place cookies on users’ devices and process information collected through those cookies in accordance with their own privacy and cookie policies.
DataOne does not directly control cookies set independently by third parties. Where required, DataOne implements appropriate contractual, technical and organisational safeguards in connection with third-party processing.
Users should refer to the relevant third-party privacy and cookie information for further information regarding such processing.
7. International Transfers
Where the use of cookies involves the transfer of personal data outside the EEA or to another jurisdiction that does not provide an equivalent level of data protection, such transfers will be carried out in accordance
with applicable data protection laws and subject to appropriate safeguards.
Such safeguards may include an adequacy decision, the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses or another legally recognised transfer mechanism.
Further information regarding DataOne’s processing of personal data and international transfers is available in our Privacy Policy.
8. Cookie Duration and Retention
The duration of a cookie depends on its purpose and type.
Session cookies generally expire when the browser is closed. Persistent cookies remain on the user’s device for a specified period or until deleted.
The applicable duration of individual cookies is identified, where relevant, in the cookie declaration or cookie settings interface available on the Website.
DataOne retains information obtained through cookies only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected and in accordance with applicable law.
9. Managing and Blocking Cookies
Users may change or withdraw their cookie preferences at any time through the cookie settings interface available on the Website.
Users may also configure their browser to block or delete some or all cookies. However, blocking strictly necessary cookies or certain other cookies may affect the availability or functionality of parts of the Website.
Browser settings operate separately from the consent controls provided by DataOne through the Website.
