Shimadzu Scientific Instruments, Inc. (“SSI”, “we”, “our” and “us”) understand that your privacy is important to you and are committed to being transparent about the technology we use. We use cookies. This Cookie Policy explains how and why cookies may be stored on and accessed from your device when you use or visit our website or any website that posts a link to our website or this Cookie Policy (“Sites”). By choosing to use the Sites after having been notified of our use of cookies in the ways described in this Cookie Policy, and, in applicable jurisdictions, through notice and unambiguous acknowledgement of your consent, you agree to such use.
What Are Cookies?
A cookie is a small text file that is stored on your web browser when you visit our Sites. Cookies help us distinguish you from other visitors by allowing us to learn and remember your actions and preferences on our Sites. We also use cookies to control access to certain content on our Sites, protect the Sites and to process any requests that you make of us. In this way, cookies help us provide you with customized content and efficient navigation through our Sites.
How we use Cookies
There are two broad categories of cookies: session cookies and persistent cookies. A session cookie expires and disappears when you close your browser. A persistent cookie stays on your device for a predefined time period or until you manually delete it. A session cookie or a persistent cookie can be either a first party cookie or a third party cookie. A first party cookie is a cookie that belongs to us and that we place on your device. A third party cookie is a cookie that another party places on your device.

We use session cookies to provide better navigation of our Sites. Cookies, by themselves, will not be used by us to disclose your individual identity. This information from cookies identifies your browser, but not you, to our servers when you visit the Sites. If you want to disable the use of cookies or remove them at any time from your computer, you can disable or delete them using your browser (consult your browser's "Help" menu to learn how to delete cookies).
