This Cookie Policy explains how Tillotts Pharma AG, Baslerstrasse 15, 4310 Rheinfelden, Switzerland, and its wholly-owned affiliates[1] (collectively “Tillotts”, or “we“) use cookies and similar technologies on our websites (“Website“). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
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, Tillotts) 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 recognise your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.
Why do we use cookies?
We use first party and third party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Website to operate, and we refer to these as “essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Website. Third parties serve cookies through our Website for analytics purposes. This is described in more detail below.
The specific types of first and third party cookies served through our Website and the purposes they perform are described in the table below:

Google Analytics
Our Website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service by Google. Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies,” text files which are stored on your computer and enable us to analyse how you use our website. The information generated by the Google Analytics Cookie about the use of the website is generally transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. On this website, Google Analytics has been supplemented by the code “gat._anonymizeIp();” in order to guarantee anonymised collection of IP addresses (called IP masking). This serves to shorten your IP address in advance by Google within the EU/ European Economic Area.
Only in exceptional cases is the complete IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the Website, compile reports about website activities for the website operators and perform other services associated with the use of websites and the Internet.
The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not linked to any other data stored by Google.
For more information on the terms of service of Google Analytics, please see the Google Analytics Terms of Use located at http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/us.html and the Google Privacy Policy located at http://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.
