Cookie Policy
1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how Shionogi Canada Inc. ("Shionogi," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on shionogi.com/ca/en (the "Site"). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which describes how we handle personal information more broadly.
When you visit our website for the first time, we will show you a pop-up with an explanation about cookies. As soon as you click on "Accept", you consent to us using all cookies as described in the pop-up and this Cookie Policy. Strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent and generally do not store any personally identifiable information. All other cookies are set only after you provide consent which you may change or withdraw at any time (see Section 5). You may also choose which categories of cookies we may use through the cookie preferences tool.
2. What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to improve efficiency, and to provide information to site owners. "Similar technologies" include web beacons, pixels, local storage, and software development kits (SDKs) that perform comparable functions. In this policy, we refer to all of these collectively as "cookies."
Cookies may be session cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (remaining until they expire or you delete them). They may be set by us (first-party cookies) or by third parties acting on our behalf or providing services through our Site (third-party cookies). Strictly necessary cookies are a type of cookie used by the Site to function properly and enable you to browse the Site and use its features.
3. How we rely on your consent
We handle personal information collected through cookies in accordance with Canadian privacy law, including the Persona/ Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), applicable provincial privacy legislation (including Alberta's and British Columbia's Personal Information Protection Acts), Quebec's Act respecting the protection of personal information in the private sector (as amended by Law 25), and Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL) where applicable.
Strictly necessary cookies are always active and do not require consent. For all other cookies, we rely on your consent. Non-essential cookies are switched off by default and are set only after you enable them. You can withdraw your consent at any time, and doing so is as easy as giving it.
4. Why we use cookies
We use cookies to learn how you interact with our content and to improve your experience when visiting the Site. For example, we use cookies to deliver you the following experience:
• Preventing you from seeing the Cookie message multiple times
• Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics cookies to collect information about how visitors use our website.
Google analytics stores information about what pages you visit, how long you were on the site, how you got here and what you click on. We do not store your personal information so this information cannot be used to identify who you are. Google provides more details on their Google privacy and cookie policy page. Google also provides a browser add-on which allows you to opt out of Google Analytics across all websites.
Our cookies will have the file names:
• Google Analytics: UA-164675617-1
• Other cookie filenames might be set and written by your browser locally, we can't control these filenames
How long cookies will be stored on your device
Except for strictly necessary cookies, all cookies will expire after 24 months.
5. Your choices and how to manage cookies
Opt-outs for analytics and advertising. Where applicable, you may also use provider-specific opt-out tools and industry opt-out programs, such as the Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada's opt-out page (youradchoices.ca).
Managing your cookies: If you want to delete any cookies that are already on your computer or block future cookies from being placed on your computer, you can do this through your browser settings. Your browser's "help" function will tell you how to do this. Further information on deleting or controlling cookies is available at www.AboutCookies.org. Please note that by deleting our cookies or disabling future cookies you may not be able to access certain areas or features of our Site.
Please note, if you reject the use of cookies, you will still be able to visit our Site but some of the functions may not work correctly.
6. Third-party cookies
Some cookies on our Site are set by third parties that provide services to us (for example, analytics or content delivery). These third parties may process information in accordance with their own privacy notices, which we encourage you to review. We do not control third-party cookies.
Throughout our Site, we may also link to other websites owned and operated by third parties. These other third party websites may also use cookies or similar technologies in accordance with their own separate policies. For privacy information relating to these other third party websites, please review their policies.
7. Cross-border transfers
Some of our cookie service providers may store or process information outside of Canada. Where personal information is transferred outside of Canada or outside of Quebec, it may be subject to the laws of those jurisdictions, and we take steps to ensure appropriate protection consistent with Canadian privacy law.
