About Cookies

Introduction and Scope

This Cookie Notice (the “POLICY”) is designed to assist you in understanding how and why Olink Proteomics AB and its wholly owned subsidiaries (WE, US, or OUR) uses cookies and other similar technologies (COOKIES) to collect personal data on our website (https://olink.com/) and any of our linked or attached web pages (collectively, the WEBSITE). This Cookie Notice applies to the websites that we own or control and which post a link to this Cookies Notice.

What are Cookies?

A cookie is a small text file stored on your device that contains information about your browser and online activity. Our Website may also employ a software technology called clear GIFs (a.k.a. web beacons) that helps us better manage content on our Website by informing us what content is effective. Clear GIFs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of Website users. We may also use local shared objects (a.k.a. flash cookies), pixels, or other similar technologies. All of these tracking technologies are collectively referred to as Cookies in this Policy.

Why do we use Cookies?

We use Cookies to allow our Website to operate, increase its functionality and efficiency, analyze how you use it so that we can improve it, tailor the content and information that we display to you, and provide you with targeted advertisements. This Policy also explains how you can opt out of Cookies if you are protected by certain data protection and privacy laws, such as the laws implementing the e-Privacy Directive in the European Economic Area (EEA).

To the extent that information collected by the Cookies constitutes personal data (on its own or if combined with other information) protected by one applicable data protection or privacy law, our Privacy Policy https://olink.com/about-us/integrity-policy/ shall apply to the processing of such personal data, as defined in the privacy policy.

Types of Cookies

Our Website may use both session cookies and persistent cookies to provide you with a more personal and interactive experience on our Website:

Session cookies allow a website to remember your actions during a browsing session and expire once your close your web browser. Session cookies may be used for a variety of purposes, such as remembering that you logged in to one of our Websites.

Cookies can be categorized either as first-party or third-party cookies. Our Website uses both types of cookies:

• First party cookies – First-party cookies are set directly by us, from the domain name of the website displayed in the URL window.
• Third party cookies – Third-party cookies are cookies that are set by a domain name other than the one being visited by the user. Other parties, such as Marketo or Google, may also set their own (third-party) Cookies through our Website. Those third parties may collect information about your online activities over time and across different Internet websites or online services. Please refer to these third parties’ privacy policies to learn more about the way in which they collect and process information about you.

What Cookies Do We Use?

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the Website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but that may cause some parts of the Website to not work. The use of these cookies for the purposes described above is based on our legitimate interest to ensure the proper technical functioning of, access to, and use of our Websites or apps and to provide you with the service(s) you have expressly requested.

Analytics Cookies

These cookies may count visits and traffic sources to measure and improve the performance of our Website. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. We will only place these cookies if you expressly accept them when you first visit our Website via our Cookie Settings banner. Analytics cookies collect information that is used either in aggregate form to help us understand how our Website is being used or how effective marketing campaigns are, or to help us customize our Website for you. Regarding Google Analytics: For an overview of the privacy of your Google Analytics cookies, please visit: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245 You may install a Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on by going here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en-GB

Performance and Functionality Cookies

These cookies allow us to enhance the performance and functionality of our Website but are not essential to its use. However, without these cookies, some functionalities (such as videos) may become unavailable.

Marketing and Targeted Advertising Cookies

Marketing cookies collect information such as which pages you visit on our Website, and how you arrived at our Website. Collected information is used to evaluate the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns or to provide better targeting for marketing. They perform functions like preventing the same ad from continuously reappearing, ensuring that ads are properly displayed for advertisers, and in some cases selecting advertisements that are based on your interests.

You may also control your online behavioral advertising preferences and opt out from having your data processed by certain marketing companies by visiting https://www.youronlinechoices.com/ and https://optout.aboutads.info/ Please note that managing these preferences will not turn off internet advertisements in general. You will receive the same number of advertisements, but it will be less reflective of your interests, as based on your web browsing habits. The preferences that you set, including your opt out requests, may be stored in Cookies that are specific to your browser. If your browser is configured to block Cookies, our tool may not be able to store your preferences.

In addition, deleting Cookies on this browser may result in your preferences being removed. If your preferences are removed after you delete cookies from this browser, you will have to update these preferences again. Also, remember that private browsing technologies (such as incognito mode) automatically delete all local storage and Cookies when the browsing session ends, preventing us from recording your choice made during the session; and preventing us from accessing any local storage created outside of the current session, which does not enable us to access the choice you made during a normal or previous private browsing session.

We will only store your preferences in this browser. Because some companies may not connect information about this browser with other web browsers or devices you may use (such as a web browser on another computer you may use, or one on a mobile device), you need to update your preferences by accessing our Cookie consent management tool above to set your preferences separately for other browsers or devices you may use.

To see descriptions of these cookies or to change you Cookies consent preferences, please visit our Cookies Settings found in the footer of this webpage.

Changes to this Policy

If we make any material change to this Policy, we will post the revised Policy to our Website and update the “Effective Date” above to reflect the date on which the new Policy became effective.
