Lab Luxembourg S.A. (Labgroup) uses cookies to ensure everyone has the best possible online experience. Our cookies record information about your online preferences and allow us to understand how people use our website so we can provide you with a more personalised online service but also improve our website and our services.
This cookie policy provides you with clear and explicit information about cookies that we use and your choices when it comes to these technologies.
What are cookies and what are they used for?
A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. They are uniquely assigned to you and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you. Cookies are placed on your computer to collect standard internet log information and visitor behaviour information. This information is used to analyse visitors’ use of the website and compile statistical reports on our website’s activity.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell our web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalise Labgroup pages, or register with our site or services, a cookie helps us to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information. When you return to the same Labgroup website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the site features that you customised. We also use cookies to store your preferences, combat fraud, ensure safety and analyse how our website is performing.
How do you control cookies?
When you first arrive on our website (or after clearing your device’s cache and history), a window appears, offering you the option of accepting or declining cookies. If you choose to decline, only ‘basic’ cookies will be enabled (as allowed by law), whilst optional ‘additional cookies’ will not be placed on your equipment. Basic cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of our website. They allow you to use the main functionalities, such as page navigation and access to secure areas of the website. Without additional cookies however, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of our services or websites.
Most browsers will allow you to see what cookies you have and delete them on an individual basis or block cookies from particular or all websites. Be aware that any preference you have set will be lost if you delete all cookies, including your preference to opt-out from cookies as this itself requires an opt-out cookie to have been set. For more information on how to modify your browser settings to block or filter cookies, see http://www.aboutcookies.org or http://www.cookiecentral.com/faq/.
