Cookies may be:
- First-party cookies, which are set by DFNS directly; or

Cookies may also be distinguished by their lifespan:
- Session cookies, which are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser; and

Categories of cookies we use
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are essential to enable you to navigate the Site and use its core features, including secure access to certain areas. Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver the Site, they do not require your consent and cannot be disabled through our consent tools. If you block them via your browser, parts of the Site may not function properly.
Functional cookies
These cookies allow the Site to remember choices you make (such as your language or region) and to provide enhanced, more personal features. They are placed only with your consent.
Analytics and performance cookies
These cookies collect information about how visitors use the Site, such as which pages are visited most often, how visitors move around the Site, and whether they encounter errors. We use this information to understand and improve the performance of the Site. These cookies, including those set through Google Tag Manager and associated analytics services, are placed only with your consent.
Marketing cookies
These cookies are used to deliver content and communications that may be relevant to you, to measure the effectiveness of our campaigns, and to understand engagement across channels. They may be set by DFNS or by third-party partners. These cookies are placed only with your consent.
Third-party cookies
Some cookies are placed by third parties that provide services on the Site, such as tag management, audience measurement, content delivery and bot-protection services (including reCAPTCHA). These third parties may process your data in accordance with their own privacy and cookie policies, over which DFNS has no control. We encourage you to review the policies of these third parties for further information.
Your consent and how to manage cookies
In accordance with applicable law, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the ePrivacy Directive as implemented in France, we place non-essential cookies on your device only after you have given your consent.
When you first visit the Site, a consent banner allows you to accept all cookies, refuse all non-essential cookies, or set your preferences by category. You may withdraw or change your consent at any time, free of charge, by accessing the cookie settings available on the Site. Withdrawing your consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies. The procedure varies from one browser to another and is generally described in the help menu of your browser. Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent the Site from functioning properly.
How long cookies are retained
The information collected through cookies is retained for a period that does not exceed thirteen (13) months. At the end of this period, your consent is requested again. The cookies themselves have a lifespan that does not exceed thirteen (13) months from the date they are placed on your device.
