Cookies

Do we use 'cookies'?

Yes. Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser (if you allow) that enables the site's or service provider's systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information. For instance, we use cookies to help us remember and process the items in your shopping cart. They are also used to help us understand your preferences based on previous or current site activity, which enables us to provide you with improved services. We also use cookies to help us compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interaction so that we can offer better site experiences and tools in the future.

Cookie types

Based on the characteristics and the use of the cookies, we can distinguish several categories:

  • Strictly necessary cookies. These cookies are essential for the correct functioning of DAYCO site and are used to manage the login and the access to reserved functions of the site. The duration of cookies is strictly limited to the working session (they are deleted when the browser is closed).
  • Performance and analysis cookies. These cookies are used to collect and analyse anonymously the traffic and the use of the site. These cookies do not identify the user but can detect, for example, if the same user reconnects at different times. They are also used to monitor the system and to improve its performance and usability. The deactivation of these cookies does not result in any functionality loss.
  • Profiling cookies. These are permanent cookies used to identify (anonymously or not) user's preferences and to improve their navigation experience. DAYCO site does not use cookies of this kind.
We use cookies to:
  • Understand and save user's preferences for future visits.
  • Keep track of advertisements.
  • Compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interactions in order to offer better site experiences and tools in the future. We may also use trusted third-party services that track this information on our behalf.

You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies. You do this through your browser settings. Since browser is a little different, look at your browser's Help Menu to learn the correct way to modify your cookies.
Third Party Cookies

When visiting a website, cookies can be received both from the site visited ("first-party cookies") and from sites managed by other organisations ("third-party cookies"). A good example of this are the "social plugins" for Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Instagram, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Flickr. They are parts of the visited page that are directly generated by the above sites and integrated in the host site. The most common use of the social plugins is aimed at sharing contents on the social networks.

The presence of these plugins involves the transmission of cookies from and to all the sites managed by third parties. The processing of information gathered by "third parties" is ruled by the information notes you should refer to. For an improved transparency and convenience, the web addresses corresponding to the information notes and methods to manage the cookies are listed below.


If users disable cookies in their browser?

If you turn cookies off, Some of the features that make your site experience more efficient may not function properly.Some of the features that make your site experience more efficient and may not function properly.

Cookie Management

The user can decide whether to accept the cookies or not by using the settings on their browser.

Important: disabling all or part of the technical cookies can compromise the use of site functions reserved for registered users. On the contrary, the usability of public contents is possible even if the cookies are completely disabled.

"Third-party" cookie deactivation does not jeopardise navigation in any way.

Setting can be defined specifically for different websites and web applications. Furthermore, the best browsers allow the user to define different settings for "first-party" and for "third-party" cookies.

For example, the Tools -> Options -> Privacy menu in Firefox gives access to a control panel where the user has the option to accept or reject the different types of cookies and remove them.

Third-party disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your Personally Identifiable Information.
Third-party links

Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on our site.

California Online Privacy Protection Act

CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law's reach stretches well beyond California to require any person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) that operates websites collecting Personally Identifiable Information from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals or companies with whom it is being shared. - See more at: http://consumercal.org/california-online-privacy-protection-act-caloppa/#sthash.0FdRbT51.dpuf
According to CalOPPA, we agree to the following:
  • Users can visit our site anonymously.
  • Once this privacy policy is created, we will add a link to it on our home page or as a minimum, on the first significant page after entering our website.
  • Our Privacy Policy link includes the word 'Privacy' and can easily be found on the page specified above.

COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)

When it comes to the collection of personal information from children under the age of 13 years old, the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The Federal Trade Commission, United States' consumer protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children's privacy and safety online.
We do not specifically market to children under the age of 13 years old.

Fair Information Practices

The Fair Information Practices Principles form the backbone of privacy law in the United States and the concepts they include have played a significant role in the development of data protection laws around the globe. Understanding the Fair Information Practice Principles and how they should be implemented is critical to comply with the various privacy laws that protect personal information.
In order to be in line with Fair Information Practices we will take the following responsive action, should a data breach occur:
We will notify you via email
  • Within 7 business days
We also agree to the Individual Redress Principle which requires that individuals have the right to legally pursue enforceable rights against data collectors and processors who fail to adhere to the law. This principle requires not only that individuals have enforceable rights against data users, but also that individuals have recourse to courts or government agencies to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors.
