Davy is committed to protecting the privacy of all visitors to our website. This notice explains how Davy uses cookies on Davy webportals, other websites we provide and on Davy applications that you may download on your devices (collectively our “website”). To the extent that any personal data is processed through cookies or similar technologies, our Privacy Notice applies and complements this Notice.
Our use of cookies may be subject to change from time to time to reflect changes in technology or legislation and we will update this page when we make material changes. The information on this page was last updated on 20th November 2024.
A cookie is a small text file that our website asks your browser to store on your device in order to retrieve information to perform certain functions and remember visits to our website. These cookies are set by us and called first-party cookies. We also use third-party cookies to assist with our marketing and advertising efforts. A third-party cookie is one set by a domain other than the one you are visiting.
There are two distinct types of cookies. First are called “session cookies” and these last for the duration of your visit and are deleted from your computer or device when you close your browser. The second type of cookies used are called “persistent cookies” which are saved for a defined period of time on your computer or device or until they are forcibly deleted.
When you visit our website, you can submit your cookies preferences by clicking on “Accept all” or “Reject all” when the cookie banner pops up. You can also manage your preferences to each type of cookie by clicking on “Cookies Settings” in the cookie banner pop up. This will direct you to our “Privacy Preference Centre” which allows you to accept or reject each type of cookie that is described below.
You may change your cookies preferences at any time under the “Cookies Settings” on the homepage.
You may also disable and delete all your device’s cookies by changing the appropriate setting within your browser’s “Help”, “Tools”, or “Settings” menu.
Some functionalities on our websites require the use of cookies and disabling or blocking some types of cookies may impact your experience of our site and the services we are able to offer. Strictly Necessary cookies are required for the website to function and cannot be rejected.
We use information gathered from cookies to help improve your experience on our website, for security and to personalise content. For example, your language preference, login information or market watch lists.
We use Matomo as our First Party Analytics provider to track user’s behaviour and performance on our website. By default a cookie-less version of Matomo is used which you can disable. This means:
When a user consents to Performance tracking Matomo will use cookies, Matomo will use them to generate an anonymised user profile to help us understand how users interact with our websites. This data is never shared with third parties.
You may choose to prevent this website from aggregating and analysing the actions you take here. Doing so will protect your privacy, but will also prevent the owner from learning from your actions on the website and creating a better experience for you and other users.

We use hCaptcha as a human verification tool during the private site login and account set up functions. This measure is to assist in preventing automated or scripted attacks. This feature is provided by hCaptcha and does not collect your personal data.
Our websites use four types of cookies, depending on their functionalities and purpose.
1. Strictly Necessary: These cookies are necessary for the Davy websites to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not then work. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.
2. Functional: These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation. They may be set by us or by third party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, then some or all of these services may not function properly.
3. Performance: These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies we will not know when you have visited our site and will not be able to monitor its performance.
4. Targeting: These cookies may be set through our websites by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will likely experience less targeted advertising.
