This helps us to provide you with a better user experience. These cookies are also referred to as Session-Id cookies, authentication cookies, and User Interface customization cookies.</li> <li><b>Gain useful knowledge about how the site is used. </b>By collecting information about the number of visitors and other uses. This helps us improve our sites. These cookies are also referred to as analytics cookies. For this purpose, we use services such as Google Analytics which means that Google and similar suppliers will also have access to this information (including your IP address and any other equipment identifiers such as the IMEI number and the MAC address). </li> <li><b>Provide easy access to our websites. </b>This helps us to direct you, share with you our content within sites such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or Pinterest or allow you to share content that is of your interest. To the extent we use such technology, these ‘social media plug-ins’ may store cookies and similar technology on your computer or other device. This means that the social media sites may access this information (including your IP address), may identify that you interacted with the BMS site. </li> <li><b>Improve our marketing communications to you.</b> Certain cookies, such as web beacons or tracking pixels, may be used by third party systems, such as customer relationship management systems or other service providers who help us manage e-mail campaigns. Those trackers enable us to better understand the success of our communications and the relevance of the content that we share with you. This may allow us to reduce the number of e-mails that we send you and provide you with content, scientific information, or initiatives that are more tailored to your interests.</li> <li><b>Collect and analyse advertising campaigns.</b> We use, and allow certain 3rd parties to use, other technologies, such as web beacons, on our Web sites and in our digital communications to tailor advertising, or to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. A web beacon is a clear GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) that a company can place on a web site or in digital communications to allow it or a third party (such as an Internet advertising, audience measurement, or social media company). As a result, we and these 3rd parties may collect and use information about your online visits to our Web sites and other websites or engagement with our digital communications. </li> </ul> <p><u><i>How can you object or refuse cookies?</i></u></p> <p>Subject to the law of your country, in particular in the European Union, or state we will either inform you, ask your prior permission (opt-in) before placing tracking technologies on your device, or provide you with a right to object (opt-out) for the purposes that we describe in this section. Your web browser, e-mail software (such as Microsoft Outlook, or Google Gmail) and other clients that you use can be set to manage cookies and similar trackers and even reject them by default. Do bear in mind that if you set your browser to automatically reject cookies, your user experience when visiting websites will not be the same: your preferences may not be remembered, some functionality may be lost and you may not be able to access certain areas or features of the sites. </p> <p><u><i>Opt-Out Preference and Do-Not-Track Signals</i></u></p> <p>We recognize the Global Privacy Control signal [if we have reason to believe that you are accessing our Web sites from California or Colorado]. We do not recognize the “do not track” signal that was developed in the early 2000s but not widely adopted. </p> <p><u><i>Interest-Based Advertising (IBA)</i></u></p> <p>We may use 3rd party advertising companies to tailor online and mobile advertisements to you based on predictions about your interests. Your interests could come from several sources including your browsing activity, such as visits to our web sites from your browser and device or your response to online advertisements. These 3rd parties collect and store data about your interests based on your online and mobile activity using different technologies, such as placing or recognizing cookies on your browser, recognizing device identifiers, or using pixel tags. These 3rd parties may also use these types of technologies to recognize you across the devices you use. </p> <p>For interest-based ads, to opt-out, you may click on the "AdChoices" icon within the advertisement or Web site which will take you to a page where you can learn more about interest-based advertising and manage or opt out of the online targeting technology from the 3rd parties that we work with. Ad Choices Opt-outs are browser and device-specific; therefore, you should repeat your selections across each device and browser on you wish to be opted out. If you opt-out, you may still see advertising from Bristol Myers Squibb online or in mobile applications, but the 3rd parties we work with will not serve our ads based on predictions about your interests. Also, if you delete or remove cookies or apps, your opt-out selections will not be stored. You should review your opt-out preferences periodically, or update your choices to include new participating companies. In some cases, the 3rd parties we work with may still collect data about your browsing activity and mobile application activity for other purposes, but will not use this information to select our ads that you see.

This helps us to provide you with a better user experience. These cookies are also referred to as Session-Id cookies, authentication cookies, and User Interface customization cookies.</li> <li><b>Gain useful knowledge about how the website is used:</b> by collecting information about the number of visitors and other uses. This helps us improve our websites. These cookies are also referred to as analytics cookies. For this purpose, we use services such as Google Analytics which means that Google and similar suppliers will also have access to this information (including your IP address and any other equipment identifiers such as the IMEI number and the MAC address). </li> <li><b>Provide easy access to our websites. </b>This helps us to direct you, share with you our content within websites such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or Pinterest or allow you to share content that is of your interest. To the extent we use such technology, these ‘social media plug-ins’ may store cookies and similar technology on your computer or other device. This means that the social media websites may access this information (including your IP address), may identify that you interacted with the BMS website. </li> <li><b>Improve our marketing communications to you.</b> Certain cookies, such as web beacons or tracking pixels, may be used by third party systems, such as customer relationship management systems or other service providers who help us manage e-mail campaigns. Those trackers enable us to better understand the success of our communications and the relevance of the content that we share with you. This may allow us to reduce the number of e-mails that we send you and provide you with content, scientific information, or initiatives that are more tailored to your interests.</li> <li><b>Collect and analyse advertising campaigns.</b> We use, and allow certain 3rd parties to use, other technologies, such as web beacons, on our Websites and in our digital communications to tailor advertising, or to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. A web beacon is a clear GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) that a company can place on a website or in digital communications to allow it or a third party (such as an Internet advertising, audience measurement, or social media company). As a result, we and these 3rd parties may collect and use information about your online visits to our Websites or engagement with our digital communications. </li> </ul> <p><u><i>How can you object or refuse cookies?</i></u></p> <p>Subject to the law of your country, in particular in the European Union, we will either inform you, ask your prior permission (opt-in) before placing tracking technologies on your device, or provide you with a right to object (opt-out) for the purposes that we describe in this section. Your web browser, e-mail software (such as Microsoft outlook, or Google Gmail) and other clients that you use can be set to manage cookies and similar trackers and even reject them by default.
