Last update 8/24/2022

Please take a minute to read and understand this Cookies Policy. Note that it should be read along with our Privacy Policy.

What are cookies?

Cookies are a standard technology used today by most websites, including Photocure’s website. A cookie is a small amount of text stored on your computer or other device (and maintained by your browser) when you visit a website. It often includes a randomized unique identifier so that our website can “recognize” this cookie again. It captures and stores data that can be used with statistics to

  • make webpages better
  • measure and improve advertising relevance
  • remember when you log into webpages or when you share information on social media.

Most modern browsers (Google Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Internet Explorer, Safari, Opera, etc.) are set to accept cookies automatically, but you can choose to change your settings so your computer does not accept cookies. Please note that if you do not accept cookies, many websites will not work optimally.

Cookies do not cause any damage to the computer, but make it easier, for example, to find preferences, pre-fill certain fields and adapt the content of the services on the site visited. Such data allows the improvement of ergonomics and services according to your interests.

What types of cookies are there, and which do we use and how?

We collect information through cookies to analyze the use of our website and offer visitors a better experience. We will keep cookies only for as long as necessary to achieve the relevant purposes set out in this Cookies Policy, notably for marketing and statistical purposes.

 

Essential cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for our website to function properly and ensure our services are accessible to you (e.g., log-in functionality, load balancing, navigation, filling in forms). The Website cannot function properly without these cookies.

Preference cookies

Preference cookies enable us to remember information that changes the way the website behaves or looks, such as your preferred language or the region that you are in.

 

Statistic cookies

Statistic cookies enable us to understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously.

How long do we keep them?

Session cookies

Session cookies remain on your device until you close your web browser. Many session cookies are essential for making our website work correctly, as they typically enable you to move around our website and use our features.

Persistent cookies

Persistent cookies remain on your device after you close your browser or until you manually delete them (for the former, how long the cookie remains on your device will depend on the duration or “lifetime” of the specific cookie and your browser settings). Persistent cookies help us recognize you as an existing user of our website, so it’s easier and convenient to return to our website or interact with our services without signing in again. In addition, persistent cookies also help us recognize you when you view a resource belonging to our website from another website or app (such as an advertisement) and help us record information about your web browsing habits during the lifetime of the persistent cookie.

How can you manage your cookie preferences?

If you have any concerns about our use of cookies, you can take action to prevent them from being set, such as by changing your browser settings to block certain types of cookies. You may also delete cookies held on your device at any time by going to the appropriate settings within your web browser.

You have the option to configure your devices to accept all cookies, to notify you when a cookie is issued or to never accept cookies. However, the latter option may result in some personalized services not being provided and, as a result, you may not be able to take full advantage of all the features offered by a website. If you do not wish to receive cookies in general or only to refuse certain cookies, you can change your browser settings accordingly.

Instructions to this effect are provided each browser’s website:

  • Chrome
  • Firefox
  • Internet Explorer/Edge
  • Safari

 

For any other browser not mentioned above, the user should not hesitate to consult the cookie management help information available on the browser’s website.
