WHEN YOU VISIT DANIELOST’S WEBSITE OR THE DANIEL OST ACCOUNT PORTAL, WE AND OUR SERVICE PROVIDERS ACTING ON OUR BEHALF AUTOMATICALLY COLLECT CERTAIN DATA USING TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES LIKE COOKIES AND WEB BEACONS.

​

WHAT’S A COOKIE?

​

A COOKIE IS A PIECE OF DATA CONTAINED IN A VERY SMALL TEXT FILE THAT IS STORED IN YOUR BROWSER OR ELSEWHERE ON YOUR HARD DRIVE. COOKIES ALLOW DANIELOST TO IDENTIFY YOUR DEVICE AS YOU NAVIGATE THROUGH OUR PUBLICLY ACCESSIBLE WEBSITE (THE DANIELOST SITE) OR OUR ACCOUNT PORTAL. WE ALSO USE THEM TO RECOGNIZE RETURN VISITORS TO THE DANIELOST SITE. THIS HELPS MAKE NAVIGATING AND INTERACTING WITH THE DANIELOST SITE AND OUR ACCOUNT PORTAL MORE EFFICIENT, EASY AND MEANINGFUL.

​

BY THEMSELVES, COOKIES DO NOT IDENTIFY YOU SPECIFICALLY. RATHER, THEY RECOGNIZE YOUR WEB BROWSER. SO, UNLESS YOU IDENTIFY YOURSELF SPECIFICALLY TO DANIELOST, LIKE SIGNING INTO THE ACCOUNT PORTAL, WE DON’T KNOW WHO YOU ARE JUST BECAUSE YOU VISITED THE DANIELOST SITE.

​

DANIELOST USES BOTH SESSION AND PERSISTENT COOKIES. SESSION COOKIES ARE COOKIES THAT DISAPPEAR FROM YOUR COMPUTER OR BROWSER WHEN YOU TURN OFF YOUR COMPUTER. PERSISTENT COOKIES STAY ON YOUR COMPUTER EVEN AFTER YOU’VE TURNED IT OFF.

​

YOU CAN TURN OFF YOUR WEB BROWSER’S ABILITY TO ACCEPT COOKIES. BUT, IF YOU DO THAT, CERTAIN PARTS OF THE DANIELOST SITE OR ACCOUNT PORTAL MAY NOT WORK FOR YOU.
