1. How we use cookies and similar technologies
[Firmenich SA] (hereafter “Firmenich”) uses cookies and similar technologies including web beacons, embedded scripts and e-tags (together referred to as “cookies”, unless otherwise stated) to provide users an efficient experience in using the website. Cookies are small text files that are sent to your computer when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by web site owners in order to make their web sites work, like letting you navigate between pages efficiently, storing your preferences and generally improving your experience of a website. A cookie file can contain information such as a user ID that the site uses to track the pages you have visited, but the only personal data a cookie can contain is information you supply yourself. A cookie cannot read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites. Some parts of our website use cookies to track user traffic patterns. Firmenich does this in order to determine the usefulness of our website information to our users and to see how effective our navigational structure is in helping users reach that information. Firmenich does not connect this information with data about individual users [, nor does it share this information or sell it to any third party.] By using our website you accept our use of these cookies. If your browser settings are set up as ‘Do Not Track’, we will not use cookies and tracking technologies. See section four below for more details on how you can opt-out of cookies. Here are some additional things you should know about our use of cookies: you may encounter cookies from our third party service providers, that we have allowed on our website that assist us with various aspects of our website operations and services. you also may encounter cookies from third parties on certain pages of the websites that we do not control and have not authorized.
