SPD Swiss Precision Diagnostic may use cookies to collect other information during your visit to our web site, such as the particular site areas you visit and the services you utilise through our web site. We collect this information to better tailor our site and our products to your interests and needs. Cookies may also be used to help speed up your future activities at our site. For example, a site can recognise that you have provided Personal Information to use and refrain from requesting the same information a second time.

Refusal of cookies at the site you enter may result in an inability to visit certain areas of the site or to receive personalised information when you visit the site.
In addition we are constantly trying to improve how we promote our web site. To help us do this, we may measure the effectiveness of our web presence by determining when you accessed the web site, and what you clicked on within our site. Site measurement statistics may be used to personalise your web site experience, as well as to evaluate – anonymously and in the aggregate – statistics about usage of the web site. Information about your computer, such as your IP address (a number assigned to your computer whenever you surf the Internet), the type of Internet browser you are using and the type of operating system you are using may also be collected and linked to your Personal Information. This is to ensure that our web site presents the best web experience for visitors, and that they are effective information resources.
Some of the pages you visit may also collect information through the use of pixel tags (also called clear gifs) that may be shared with third parties which directly support SPD Swiss Precision Diagnostic’s promotional activities and web site development. For example, web site usage information about visitors to our web sites may be shared with our third party advertising agency in order to better target Internet banner advertisements on SPD Swiss Precision Diagnostic web sites. The information collected through the use of these pixel tags is not, however, personally identifiable, although it could be linked to your Personal Information.
Finally, we may supplement the information that you provided us with other information we hold or that we receive from third parties. We do this for marketing purposes in order to provide more targeted products and service to meet your needs.
