How we may use cookies for advertising.

Cookies can be used to remember your preferences within the website and can stay on your device after you close your browser or restart it. These cookies can allow us to serve you with advertising that is targeted, as well as monitoring the effectiveness of our advertising.

Cookies, as well as other elements such as pixels and anonymous ad network tags help us serve relevant ads to you more effectively. They also help us collect aggregated audit data, research, and performance reporting for advertisers. Pixels enable us to understand and improve the delivery of ads to you, and know when certain ads have been shown to you. Since your web browser may request advertisements and other elements from ad networks, these networks can view, edit, or set their own cookies, just as if you had requested a web page from their site.

We do not use cookies to create profiles of browsing on third-party sites but we do use aggregated data from third parties to show you relevant advertising. We do not provide any personal information that we collect to any advertisers. You can opt out, anytime, of off-site and third-party advertising by adjusting your cookie settings at any time. Opting out though will not remove advertising from the pages you visit but will result in the ads you see not being matched to your interests, meaning the ads you see will not be matched to your interests by those specific cookies.

You are in control of how we use cookies

The EU e-Privacy Directive requires any website placing cookies onto users’ computers to obtain consent. CooperSurgical adopts a policy of implied consent. This allows us to infer consent where a user does not refuse cookies.

You can choose to accept or decline cookies.  Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. This may prevent you from taking full advantage of the website.
