The Cookie Notice
This Cookie Notice explains how AXIS uses cookies and it applies across all AXIS entities.
Why do we use cookies?
We use cookies on our websites to help operate our business more efficiently. This includes using cookies for the following purposes:
- To remember user preferences on our website (including language and location);
- To personalize the browsing experience based on a user's preferred settings (e.g. language and country); and
- Analytics.
The AXIS websites use analytics technology, including Google Analytics, to understand how users interact with the sites, to improve our web experience, and better market our products. You may exercise choices regarding the use of cookies from Google Analytics by going to https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout or downloading the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
What types of cookies do we use?
We use the following types of cookies:
- Strictly necessary cookies: These are cookies that are required for the operation of our websites;
- Analytical/performance cookies: These allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors to and to see how visitors move around our websites when they are using those sites. This helps us to improve the way our website works, e.g. by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily; and
- Functionality cookies: These are used to recognise you when you return to our website. This enables us to personalise our content for you (e.g. your choice of language or region).
- Targeted/advertising cookies. These cookies allow us, with your consent, to enable visitors to our website to share content on social networks such as LinkedIn and to enable and evaluate the interactions with our communications and
social media tools.
Web beacons (also called 'pixel tags' or GIFs) are small image file elements placed within web pages and web-based messaging, such as newsletters and that work together with cookies to recognize visitors and how they interact with that content. Using these tools we can better understand which content is of interest to our visitors. An SDK is a piece of data code that is included in mobile applications and works in a similar way.
