WHAT ARE COOKIES?

Cookies are text files stored on your computer or mobile device when you use the Website, 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 recognize that you have seen the website before and adjust the content considering your previous visits. This way, the website experience can be more faithful to your interests and preferences.

Chiesi also uses other technologies like cookies to share the information we collect when you visit the Website. 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 Website.

 

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 you browse the website or read 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 to learn about your preferences.

Embedded scripts are programming codes of some 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, to tailor them to your likely interests, and to 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 if you disable scripting functionality, some Chiesi websites and applications may not function properly.

 

Proprietary and Third-Party Cookies

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

The Website may also offer content from other websites that integrate their cookies (third-party cookies). Third parties provide these cookies. These providers may set their cookies while you are visiting the Website and receive information about your behavior while navigating the Website. Therefore, you should see 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 Website.

Chiesi provides tools to facilitate the management of proprietary and partner cookies. You can accept or reject cookies through the cookie banner on the first visit and manage them anytime through the Cookies Settings.

If you 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 ones. However, please note that if you refuse and cancel functional or performance cookies, you may not be able to use the full functionality of the Website, and Chiesi may no longer understand what you like and dislike about the Website and improve it.

For clarity, be mindful that refusing or withdrawing your consent to targeted advertising cookies does not mean you will receive less promotional advertising. See the next section for more information on profiling cookies.
