Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how DataOne (“DataOne”, “we”, “us” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on https://dataone.eu (the “Website”). It should be read together with our [Privacy Policy], which explains how we handle your personal data.
By continuing to use our Website, and where required by law by accepting cookies through our cookie banner, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time (see “How to manage your cookies” below).
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet or smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, and to provide information to the website owner.
We also use similar technologies such as pixels, tags, and local storage. In this policy, we refer to all of these simply as “cookies”.
Cookies can be:
● Session cookies — temporary cookies that are deleted when you close your browser.
● Persistent cookies — cookies that stay on your device for a set period or until you delete them.
● First-party cookies — set by DataOne.
● Third-party cookies — set by another organisation, for example an analytics or video provider.
2. Why we use cookies
We use cookies to:
● make the Website function correctly and securely;
● remember your preferences and settings;
● understand how visitors use the Website so we can improve it;
● and, where you have agreed, measure the performance of our communications and marketing.
3. The categories of cookies we use
3.1 Strictly necessary cookies (always active)
These cookies are essential for the Website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. They do not store any directly identifying information and do not require your consent.
3.2 Functional cookies
These cookies allow the Website to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation, such as remembering your language or region. If you do not allow these cookies, some services may not work properly.
3.3 Analytics / performance cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Website by collecting and reporting information anonymously or in aggregate (for example, which pages are visited most often). We use this to improve how the Website works. These cookies are only placed with your consent.
3.4 Marketing / advertising cookies
These cookies may be set through our Website by us or our partners to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant content on other sites. They are only placed with your consent.

The table below lists the cookies we use. Cookie names and durations can change as we update the Website; we review this list regularly.
Note for DataOne: Replace the example rows below with the exact cookies detected by a scan of your live site (e.g. Cookiebot, CookieYes, or your browser’s developer tools > Application > Cookies). The examples reflect the tools your site appears to use (Google Fonts, Elementor, and a cookie-consent banner).

If your Website does not use Google Analytics or marketing cookies, remove those rows.
5. Third-party services
Some cookies are placed by third parties that provide services on our Website. These providers may process your data outside the European Economic Area (EEA); where they do, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses. Third parties we may use include:
● Google (Fonts and, where applicable, Analytics) — see Google’s privacy information at https://policies.google.com/privacy
● [Social media / video / other providers, e.g. LinkedIn, YouTube, Vimeo]
We do not control these third-party cookies. Please review the relevant provider’s own cookie and privacy policies.
6. Legal basis for using cookies
Under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the ePrivacy Directive (as implemented in the applicable EU member states):
● Strictly necessary cookies are used on the basis of our legitimate interest in operating a secure, functioning website. They do not require consent.
● All other cookies (functional, analytics and marketing) are used only with your prior consent, which you give through our cookie banner. You can withdraw this consent at any time.
8. Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for legal, operational or regulatory reasons. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
