This policy explains what cookies are and why we use them. When this policy refers to "cookies", it refers to both cookies and similar technologies which function in the same way as cookies. When this policy refers to "computers", it refers to computers, smart phones, tablets and all other devices used for accessing a website.<br> Our cookies policy may be amended from time to time without notice so it is important that you regularly check this policy so you are fully aware of any changes. </blockquote> <h2>Scope</h2> <blockquote> <p>Our cookies policy describes the cookie practices for <strong><script language="javascript">document.write(domain_name);</script></strong> but our website may provide links to other websites. When you leave <strong><script language="javascript">document.write(domain_name);</script></strong>, you will be going to websites that are beyond our control. We try to ensure that links that leave our site are clearly labeled (usually with an icon) or/and opened in a new window so that you are aware you are leaving our website. These other sites may send their own cookies to users, collect data, or solicit personal information. The cookies policy described here does not apply to any external links. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of any site you link to from ours, especially if you share any personal information.</p> </blockquote> <h2>What is a cookie?</h2> <blockquote> <p>A cookie is a small file that maybe installed on your computer when you visit a website.</p> <p>Cookies are generally used to provide site visitors with additional functionality within the site. They may for example be created to keep track of your visit and support your navigation of the website, help you resume where you left off and/or remember your preferences and settings when you visit the website again.</p> <p>Cookies cannot access, read or modify any other data on your computer.</p> </blockquote> <h2>Types and categories of cookies</h2> <blockquote> <p>There are two types of cookies: session cookies and persistent cookies.</p> <p>Session cookies are deleted once you leave the website. On the other hand, persistent cookies remain on your computer or until deleted by the website user.</p> <p>Session and persistent cookies can be classified into one of four categories:</p> <table border="1" cellspacing="0" width="80%" cellpadding="3"> <tr> <td width="27%" valign="top" class="silver"> Strictly necessary cookies</td> <td width="73%" valign="top" class="silver"> These cookies are strictly necessary to enable you to move about the site or to provide certain features you have requested.</td> </tr> <tr> <td width="27%" valign="top"> Functionality cookies</td> <td width="73%" valign="top"> These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language or region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personalized features.</td> </tr> <tr> <td width="27%" valign="top" class="silver"> Performance/Analytics cookies</td> <td width="73%" valign="top" class="silver"> These cookies collect non-personal information − data in a form that does not permit direct association with any specific individual - and support the measurement of websites. This information helps improve websites by identifying any problems that visitors may encounter during their visit and by learning how they entered the site and which pages they visited.</td> </tr> <tr> <td width="27%" valign="top"> Third party cookies</td> <td width="73%" valign="top"> These cookies are set by a website other than the one you are currently on. For example, some websites might have social media sharing buttons. When you use one of the share buttons, a cookie may be set by the service you have chosen to share content through. Such cookies can only be disabled through the relevant third party website. Some websites might display advertisements. Such cookies collect information about user’s browsing habits and enable advertisements to be targeted to them based on their interests.</td> </tr> </table> </blockquote> <p> <b> <h2>Cookies used on this website</h2> <blockquote> <table id="cookie_inventory" border="1" cellspacing="0" width="80%" cellpadding="3"> <tr> <td width="25%" valign="top" class="silver2"> Category</td> <td width="25%" valign="top" class="silver2"> Cookie name</td> <td width="50%" valign="top" class="silver2"> Purpose</td> </tr> <script id="external_script" type="text/JavaScript"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> document.getElementById('external_script').src = 'data/' + domain_name + language + '.js'; </script> </table> </b> <p> Baxter periodically conducts a cookie audit of <strong><script language="javascript">document.write(domain_name);</script></strong>, to ensure we are compliant to global and regional legislation.<br> </blockquote> <b> <h2>Managing Cookies</h2> </b> <blockquote> If you want to control the cookies installed on your computer, you can modify your browser settings so that it notifies you when a website wants to install a cookie or you can block cookies altogether.
