Cookies Policy
Revised 1 September 2020
1. Introduction
Our Cookies Policy (“Policy“)
applies to all websites (“Websites“) operated by or on behalf of OSI Optoelectronics,
Inc. and/or its parent company and subsidiaries (hereafter “OSI
Optoelectronics“, “we“, “us“, “our“). This
Policy sets out how we collect and process information about you on our
Websites through the use of cookies and similar technologies. It explains what
these technologies are and why we use them as well as your rights to control
our use of them.
2. What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed
on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are
widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work
more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this
case, OSI Optoelectronics) are called “first party cookies”. Cookies set
by parties other than the website owner are called “third party cookies”.
Third party cookies enable third party features or functionality to be provided
on or through the website (e.g. like advertising, interactive content and
analytics). The parties that set these third party
cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question
and also when it visits certain other websites.
3. How long do cookies
last for?
Cookies can remain on your computer or mobile
device for different periods of time. Some cookies are ‘session cookies’. These exist only while your browser is open and
are deleted automatically once you close your browser. Other cookies are
‘persistent cookies’. These cookies survive after your
browser is closed until a defined expiration date. They can be used by websites
to recognise your computer when you open your browser
and browse the Internet again.
4. What types of cookies
do we use?
We use first and third party
cookies for several reasons. The specific types of first party and third party cookies served through our Websites and the
purposes they perform are described in the table below (please note that the
specific cookies served may vary depending the specific Website you visit):
Type of cookie | Who serves them | How to refuse | |
Strictly necessary
cookies: These cookies are
necessary to provide you with services available through the Websites and to
use some of its features, such as access to secure areas. | OSI Optoelectronics | Because these cookies are
strictly necessary to deliver the Websites to you, you cannot block them
unless you have set your browser to refuse cookies. You can change your browser settings
to accept or refuse these
cookies. Please visit your browser’s
help menu for more information on how to do so. | |
|
ASP Net | General purpose platform session
cookie, used by sites written with Miscrosoft .NET
based technologies. Usually used to maintain an anonymised user session by
the server. You may disable any of these
cookies via your browser settings. Please visit your browser’s help menu for
more information on how to do so. | |
Performance and functionality
cookies: These cookies are used to enhance the performance and
functionality of our Websites but are
non-essential to its use, for example, to remember
settings that you have applied such as your language preference and to show when
you are logged in. | OSI Optoelectronics | You may disable any of these
cookies via your browser settings. Please visit your browser’s help menu for
more information on how to do so. | |

Analytics cookies: These cookies
collect information that is used, either in aggregate
form to help us understand how the Websites are being used or how effective
our marketing campaigns are, or to help us customize the Websites for
you. This information will also be used for the purpose of
evaluating your use of the Websites, compiling reports on Website
activity and receiving other services relating to Website activity and
internet usage. | OSI Optoelectronics | You may disable any of these
cookies via your browser settings. Please visit your browser’s help menu for
more information on how to do so. | |

cookies via your browser settings. Please visit your browser’s help menu for

5. What about other
tracking technologies, like web beacons?
Cookies are not the only way to recognize or
track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time
to time, like web beacons (sometimes called “tracking pixels” or “clear gifs”)
to better tailor our Websites in order to provide a better service. These
are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognize
when someone has visited our Websites. These technologies usually work in
conjunction with cookies. To disable cookies used on our Websites, and therefore
any other tracking technologies that work in conjunction with these cookies,
please follow the instructions below.
6. Do we use Flash
cookies or Local Shared Objects?
Our Websites may also use so-called “Flash
Cookies” (also known as Local Shared Objects or “LSOs”) to collect and store
information about when you visited the Websites. They may also contain
tracking and settings information.
You may learn more information about these
Cookies or LCOs from Adobe’s website at http://www.adobe.com/privacy/cookies.html.
Please note that setting the Flash Player to
restrict or limit acceptance of Flash Cookies may reduce or impede the
functionality of some Flash applications, including, potentially, Flash
applications used in connection with our services or online content.
7. Do we serve targeted
advertising?
Third parties may serve cookies on your
computer or mobile device to target advertising through our Websites. These
companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites in
order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services that you may
be interested in. They may also employ technology that is used to measure the
effectiveness of advertisements. This can be accomplished by them using cookies
or web beacons to collect information about your visits to this and other sites
in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services of
potential interest to you. The information collected through this process does
not enable us or them to identify your name, contact details or other
personally identifying details unless you choose to provide these.
8. How else do we use
cookies?
For details about how we use personal
information collected by cookies, please see our Privacy Policy at http://www.osioptoelectronics.com/our-company/privacy-policy.aspx
