Cookie policy

Danone's mission is bringing health through food to as many people as possible and we aim to inspire healthier and more sustainable eating and drinking practices, in line with our vision - Danone, One Planet.

Bringing health through food does not only rely on healthier products and promoting healthier behaviors. Our mission also requires that our own business practices help to build a healthier future. Maintaining and building trust with our consumers and stakeholders is core to our ability to fulfil our mission. One way that trust can be preserved is by ensuring that we are responsible when communicating with our consumers.

Danone knows that you care how your personal data is used and we recognize the importance of protecting your privacy. We have therefore committed ourselves to the following basic principles:

• We are committed to being transparent in the way we use your personal data;
• We only use your data for specific purposes that we share with you and/or that you have consented to;
• We aim to collect, process and use as little personal data as possible;
• When we do collect your personal data, we aim to keep it as accurate, up to date and secure as possible;
• If the personal data we collect is no longer needed for any purposes and we are not required by law to retain it, we will do what we can to delete, destroy or permanently de-identify it;
• Your personal data will not be shared, sold, rented or disclosed other than as described in this Privacy Statement.

Like many companies, we use cookies and other tracking technologies to ensure you get the best from this website. Below are some examples of the types of tracking technologies that we may use on this website.

Cookies

“Cookies” are small text files from a website that are stored on your computer, mobile phone or other device.  Cookies generally contain information that is associated with your web browser, information such as website preferences, login information, or a user ID.

Like other online services and mobile applications, we use both cookies and other technologies such as web beacons/GIFs, pixels, page tags, embedded scripts and other tracking technologies. These technologies consist of small transparent image files or other web programming code that record how you interact with the website.  They are often used in conjunction with web browser cookies or other identifiers associated with your device.  Below is a more detailed description of some of these other types of tracking technologies we may use on this website:

WHY DO WE USE COOKIES?

Generally speaking, there are a few reasons why we, and certain third parties, may use cookies:

• cookies that are strictly necessary for the website to function and to enable you to make use of the services we provide;
• cookies that collect data related to the use of our website and the performance of it. We use this information to improve our online products and services;

• cookies that are placed by third parties for enhanced services (such as social media cookies) or for advertising purposes.

Please see below for further information on the types of cookies we use.

Strictly necessary cookies

These are cookies that we need to be able to offer you a proper functioning website and which enables you to make use of the services we provide.

For example, we may use strictly necessary cookies for logging in, filling in forms or to enable other features and functions of the website. We also use strictly necessary cookies to maintain the security and stability of our services. Because these cookies are necessary to the security and functionality of our services, they cannot be switched off via our cookie consent tool.

If these cookies are blocked, you will not be able to make use of our website.

Analytics and performance-related cookies

These cookies help us measure traffic patterns to determine which areas of our website have been visited and get detailed insights about user behavior (such as by recording a user's screen to analyze the session and look at the session dropped during sign up to see why they are dropping). We use this to research a visitor’s habits so that we can improve our online products and services. We may log IP addresses (that is, the electronic addresses of computers connected to the internet) to analyze trends, administer the website, track users’ movements, and gather broad demographic information. This information allows us to ensure our website is functioning properly and is providing the best experience for our users. We may also use analytics cookies as part of our data management platform to track results of our activations.

Cookies for functionality and personalization

These cookies enable us to recognize your computer and greet you each time you visit our website without bothering you with a request to register or to log in. They are generally there to support website functionality that is visible or advantageous to the user or their experience of our website.

Marketing/re-marketing/targeting/re-targeting/advertising cookies

Our websites may also place cookies for third-party services such as social media platforms [Please provide an example that is specific to your website e.g. clicking on ‘Share to Facebook’ may mean that a Facebook cookie is placed in the user’s browser]. They may be used to limit the number of times a user sees an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of an advertising campaign.

• Persistent cookies: in contrast to session cookies, persistent cookies are re-activated when you return to the same website and remain in your browser's subfolder until they expire (usually after 12 months).
