This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and your choices regarding their use.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit our Site. They store information about your browsing activity and preferences, allowing websites to recognize you on return visits. Cookies can be persistent (stored until expiration or deletion) or session-based (deleted when you close your browser).
2. Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies: Required for basic site functionality, security, and compliance. These cannot be disabled without affecting Site performance.
Performance Cookies: Help us understand how visitors interact with our Site by collecting anonymous data about page views, traffic sources, and user engagement.
Functional Cookies: Remember your preferences and settings to personalize your experience across visits.
Marketing Cookies: Track your activity to display targeted advertising and measure campaign effectiveness. These are only set with your consent.
3. Specific Cookies and Technologies
We use Google Analytics to track website usage and performance. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information about your visit, including your IP address, device type, and browsing behavior. This data is aggregated and anonymized. We also use web beacons (pixels) to track email opens and conversions. Third-party service providers may place their own cookies for analytics, payments, and customer support.
4. Cookie Duration
Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for varying periods, typically ranging from a few weeks to several years, depending on their purpose and your cookie settings.
5. Your Cookie Choices
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies or alert you when a cookie is being sent. Visit your browser's help documentation for specific instructions. Note that disabling cookies may affect Site functionality. You can also clear cookies from your device at any time through your browser settings or privacy options.
6. Cookie Consent Banner
When you first visit our Site, you will see a cookie consent banner. Clicking "Accept All" means all cookies (including marketing cookies) will be used. Clicking "Decline" means only essential cookies will be placed. Your choice is saved in your browser for future visits.
7. Third-Party Cookies
Third-party vendors, including analytics and advertising partners, may place cookies on your device through our Site. These are subject to their own privacy policies. We do not have full control over third-party cookies, but we take steps to ensure they comply with our privacy standards.
8. Cross-Site Tracking
We may use cookies to track your activity across our Site and third-party sites for analytics and marketing purposes. This helps us understand your interests and deliver relevant content and advertising.
9. Social Media Cookies
If our Site contains social media integrations (LinkedIn, Twitter, etc.), those platforms may place cookies on your device. These are governed by their respective privacy policies. We recommend reviewing those policies directly.
10. EU Cookie Law Compliance
For users in the European Union, the ePrivacy Directive requires explicit consent before non-essential cookies are placed. Our cookie banner provides this consent mechanism. You can withdraw consent at any time by adjusting your browser settings or contacting us.
11. California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)
California residents have rights regarding cookies and tracking technologies. You can request information about the cookies used and opt-out of certain tracking. Submit requests at support@diremoney.co.com. Note that some cookies are essential for Site functionality and cannot be disabled.
12. Do-Not-Track Signals
Our Site does not currently respond to browser "Do-Not-Track" signals. Industry standards for DNT are still developing, and we will update our practices as standards evolve.
13. Local Storage and Similar Technologies
We may use local storage (HTML5 localStorage, IndexedDB) to store information similar to cookies. These function like persistent cookies but have larger storage capacity. Your browser settings may control these technologies.
14. Security Considerations
Cookies do not contain sensitive information like passwords or credit card numbers. We implement security measures to protect cookie data from unauthorized access. However, no method of transmission over the internet is entirely secure.
15. Cookie Updates
We may update our cookie practices as technology evolves and our needs change. Updated versions of this policy will be posted on our Site with the revised effective date. Continued use of our Site after updates indicates your acceptance of the new practices.
