First-party and third-party cookies
Cookies installed directly by the owner of the website are referred to as first-party cookies, whereas cookies installed by websites or services other than the one the user is visiting are referred to as third-party cookies.
Third-party cookies include, for example, social media buttons or plug-ins that allow interaction with platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, and similar services, as well as Google Analytics cookies required for embedded YouTube content and comparable services.

Types of cookies
Technical cookies
Technical cookies are generally installed directly by the website operator. They enable communication between the website and the user and are also referred to as navigation cookies, session cookies, essential cookies, or strictly necessary cookies. Their purpose is to ensure the proper functioning of the website and allow users to navigate and use its features. These cookies generally remain active only for the duration of the browsing session.
As these cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of the website, their installation does not require the user’s prior consent.
Non-technical cookies
This category includes all cookies that serve purposes other than those strictly necessary for the operation and navigation of the website.
Such cookies may only be installed with the user’s explicit consent, which may also be limited to one or more specific purposes.

Other tracking technologies
Tracking technologies are tools that make it possible to monitor users’ behaviour.
Tracking technologies (including cookies) may serve different purposes. Some enable the user to access and use the service, others improve the browsing experience, while others are used for marketing or remarketing purposes by analysing browsing behaviour in order to display personalised advertising.
Tracking technologies may consist of scripts embedded in web pages (such as tracking pixels), which are installed on users’ devices and collect information about browsing activities. They may also include fingerprinting technologies, which combine information about a user’s browsing behaviour, device configuration, and technical characteristics to create a unique user profile.
The main tracking technologies include:
- tracking pixels, which collect information about user activities by monitoring behaviour after the pixel has been installed. Examples include the Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, Twitter Conversion Tracking, and similar technologies;
- cookies, as described above.
Tracking technologies may collect information including:
- the operating system, email client, and browser used by the user;
- whether the user is accessing the website via a mobile or desktop device;
- the user’s IP address and the approximate geographical location associated with it;
- information about the user’s screen resolution;
- the date and time of access to the website or an email;
- activities performed during the browsing session.
Our website does not use any tracking technologies other than cookies.
The banner displayed on first access
Where a website uses cookies other than technical cookies or other tracking technologies, applicable legislation and regulatory guidelines require that users be presented, upon their first visit, with a cookie banner (short-form privacy notice). The banner must inform users about the use of cookies, provide access to the extended Privacy and Cookie Policy, and allow users to give or withhold consent, including through granular selection of individual categories of cookies. DANIEL Law Firm uses only technical cookies and anonymised analytics cookies and does not employ any other tracking technologies. Furthermore, no personal data are transferred to countries outside the European Union. Consequently, the firm is not subject to the obligation to display a cookie consent banner.
