WHAT ARE COOKIES?

Cookies are text files stored on your computer or mobile device when you use the Site, enabling a faster and more enjoyable online experience. You can control how websites use cookies by configuring your browser’s privacy settings (see your browser’s help section to learn more about the control of cookies). For clarity, however, you should know that if you completely disable cookies, the website may not function properly.

Cookies are downloaded from your internet browser and stored on your device the first time you visit a website. The next time you visit the same website using the same device, the website will recognise that you have visited the website before and adjust the content considering your previous visits. In this way, the website experience can be more faithful to your personal interests and preferences.

Chiesi also uses other technologies like cookies to share the information we collect when you visit the Site. Please also note that Chiesi may include technologies (including but not limited to web beacons and pixel tags) for advertising purposes or to monitor your interaction with the Site.

Web beacon, pixel tag and embedded scripts

A web beacon is an electronic graphic image embedded in a website or email to identify cookies when browsing the website or reading the email. Pixel tags allow sending readable emails to users and finding out whether they have opened the email.

For example, if you receive an email from Chiesi, the email may contain a login URL that links to our web page. If you click on the link, Chiesi will keep track of your visit in order to learn about your preferences.

Embedded scripts are programming codes of some of our web pages that measure how you use them, for example, the links you select. This information is used to improve Chiesi-owned websites and online services, tailor them to your likely interests, and conduct market research. Users can disable scripting features, such as JavaScript, within the browser settings (see the help feature of your browser). Please note that some Chiesi websites and applications may not function if you disable scripting functionality.

Proprietary and Third-Party Cookies

Proprietary cookies are those implemented by Chiesi and used to interact with you when you browse the Site.

The Site may also offer content from other websites which may integrate their cookies (third-party cookies). These cookies are set by parties other than Chiesi. These providers may set their cookies while visiting the Site and receive information about your behavior while navigating the Site. Therefore, you should visit the websites of these third parties to learn more about how they use these cookies. Please see the table at the end of this policy for more information about which third-party cookies are used on the Site.

HOW TO CONTROL COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES

Chiesi provides tools to facilitate the management of proprietary and partner cookies. Cookies can be accepted through the cookie banner, but you can manage their use at any time through the Cookie Settings.

If you choose to decline cookies that require your prior consent, Chiesi will not use those cookies. If you decide to revoke your previous consent, Chiesi will no longer use those cookies and delete the relevant proprietary cookies. However, please note that if you refuse and cancel functional or performance cookies, you may not be able to use the Site’s full functionality, and Chiesi may no longer understand what you like and dislike about the Site and improve it.

For clarity, please note that if you refuse or withdraw your consent to advertising cookies, you will not necessarily receive less advertising, but ads will not be tailored to your interests. See the next section for more information.
