Cookies
DAW uses cookies and web beacons to help us understand how visitors engage with our website and services. These technologies allow us to:
Improve our website (for example, identify and promote popular products); and
Provide you with more targeted information where appropriate; and
Provide you with nuanced service based on your understanding of solar, and our product.
To opt-out, you can ask your browser to delete or block third-party cookies: simply search online for “cookies” + the name of your internet browser (for example, “Google Chrome”) for step-by-step instructions.
What types of cookies do we use?
The types of cookies used by most websites can generally be put into five categories: strictly necessary, performance, functionality, tailored content and targeting. You can see what cookies we use here.
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are essential for the full functionality of our website. They enable you to navigate around our website and use their features, such as accessing secure areas. Without these cookies, you may not be able to access all the functions of our website.
Performance Cookies
These cookies collect information about how you use our website or our services, e.g. which pages are the most visited and if you receive any error messages from any pages. These cookies do not gather information that identifies you. All information these cookies collect is anonymous and only used to improve how our website works and our provision of services to you.
Functionality cookies
These cookies allow our website to remember the choices you make, e.g. your user name, language or region. They may also be used to provide services you have requested, e.g. commenting on a post. The information these cookies collect may be anonymous, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
Tailored content cookies
These cookies help our website provide enhanced features and display content in a way that is relevant to you. They help determine what information you are shown on our website based on how you have used our website and our services previously. These cookies may also track your browsing activity on other websites.
Targeting cookies
These cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaign. They remember that you have visited a website and this anonymous information may be shared with our partners. This means that after you have been to our website, you may see some advertisements about our products elsewhere on the internet.
You can learn more about interest-based advertising and opt-out of interest-based advertising from participating online advertising companies at the following links:
Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) – http://optout.networkadvertising.org/
Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) – http://optout.aboutads.info/
Please note that opting out of interest-based advertising does not mean you will no longer be served advertising. You will continue to receive generic ads.
How long will cookies stay on my browsing device?
The length of time a cookie will stay on your browsing device depends on whether it is a persistent or session cookie. Session cookies will only stay on your browsing device until you stop browsing.
Persistent cookies will stay on your browsing device until they expire or are deleted.
First and third party cookies
First party cookies are cookies that belong to DAW, while third-party cookies are cookies that another party places on your browsing device through our website.
How to control and delete cookies through your browser
The browser you are using to view the website can enable, disable or delete cookies. To do this, please follow the instructions provided for your browser.
Please note that if you set your browser to disable cookies, you may not be able to access certain parts of the website. Other parts of the website may also not work properly.
Third party website cookies
Other websites, including those of our global distributors, may use different cookies from those we use. You acknowledge and agree that we are not responsible for any third-party websites or applications and you access third party websites and applications at your own risk. Please understand other websites and applications are independent of us so you must inform yourself of their separate cookie policies.
Links to other websites
Our websites provide links to other websites when we consider you may be interested in the contents of those sites. We do not endorse any third party sites or their content, and we have no control over the conduct of the companies or organisations operating those sites.
