Promega's Cookie Policy

We use cookies and similar technologies to make our website work, run analytics, improve our website, and show you personalized content and advertising. Some of these cookies are essential for our website to work. For others, we won’t set them unless you accept them. To find out more about cookies and how to manage cookies, read our Cookie Policy.

Cookie Policy

Effective: October 19, 2023

Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use and share information from and about you when you visit our website, create an account with us, or otherwise interact with us. This Cookie Policy provides more detail about how we use cookies and similar technologies and the choices you have concerning such use. We operate many connected domains across the world to help localize content for our website. This Cookie Policy applies across those domains.

What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?

Like most websites, we use cookies and similar technologies to remember things about you so that we can provide you with a better experience.

  • Cookies are small data files stored on your browser or device. They may be served by the entity that operates the website you are visiting (“first-party cookies”) or by other companies (“third-party cookies”). For example, we partner with third-party analytics providers, like Google, to set cookies when you visit our website. This helps us understand how you are using our services so that we may improve them.
  • Pixels are small images on a web page or in an email. Pixels collect information about your browser or device and can set cookies.
  • Local storage allows data to be stored locally on your browser or device and includes an HTML5 local storage and browser cache.

Why Do We Use These Technologies?

Like most websites, we use cookies and similar technologies to make it easier for you to interact with our websites. Cookies allow you to skip having to log in each time you visit our site, allow us to track your preferences, make sure items you add to your shopping cart remain there, and generally keep things on the site running smoothly and securely. Cookies also help us improve your experience by giving us a better understanding of how you use our website and what parts of our websites are most popular. They also help us serve advertisements and marketing communications that are personalized to your interests.

How Do Cookies and Similar Technologies Interact with Your Devices?

If you are located in the European Economic Area (“EEA”), the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, when you first visit our site, we will ask your permission to set certain non-essential cookies and other similar technologies on your device. It is entirely up to you whether you consent or not (although some aspects of the site may not work as well if you do not consent), and you can change your mind at any time. See How to Manage Your Cookies below for more details.

What Cookies Do We Use?

We use four categories of cookies: (1) strictly necessary, (2) preference, (3) performance and statistics, and (4) marketing cookies. A list of the specific cookies we use on our website, their purpose, and retention periods and their relevant categories, please click this link: Promega Cookie Usage. In certain jurisdictions, we only use the last three category of cookies with your consent. Consent is not required for the use of strictly necessary cookies because they are necessary to allow you to access and receive our website.

If you access our mobile application, the advertising identifier associated with your device or other identifiers may be recorded and used for purposes similar to those of cookies.

If you visit a page that we maintain on a social media site, such as Facebook, it is likely that cookies will also be deployed on your device. The social media site deploys these cookies, even on the pages we maintain, so you will need to use the settings provided by the social media site to change your cookie preferences on these sites.

How to Manage Your Cookies

You have a number of options to control or limit how we and our partners use cookies and similar technologies to interact with you, including for advertising.

  • If you are located in the EEA, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you can manage your cookie preferences through the “Manage Cookie Consent” link at the bottom of our website in those jurisdictions. You can choose to accept all three categories of non-essential cookies or only the categories of cookies you prefer. By agreeing to a category of cookies, you consent to the use of all cookies in that category. You can change your cookie preferences at any time.
  • If you are located in the EEA, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, if you consent to our use of non-essential cookies, you can withdraw your consent at any time by altering your settings in the ‘Manage Cookie Consent’ link accessible at the bottom of our website in those jurisdictions.
  • If you are located in certain jurisdictions in the U.S., you can opt-out of targeted advertising by clicking on the My Privacy Choices link at the bottom of our website in those jurisdictions.
  • Although most browsers and devices accept cookies by default, their settings usually allow you to clear or disable cookies. If you clear or disable cookies, however, some of the features of our services may not function properly.
  • To prevent your data from being used by Google Analytics, you can install Google’s opt-out browser add-on.
  • For information on how our advertising partners allow you to opt out of receiving ads based on your web browsing history, please visit https://optout.aboutads.info/. European users may opt out of receiving targeted advertising through the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance.
  • If you visit a page that we maintain on a social media site, such as Facebook, it is likely that cookies will also be deployed on your device. The social media site deploys these cookies, even on the pages we maintain, so you will need to use the settings provided by the social media site to change your cookie preferences on these sites. To opt out of ads on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Twitter, or Google that are targeted to your interests, use your Facebook/Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Twitter, or Google Ads settings.
  • Additionally, third-party platforms may offer you choices about whether you see customized ads.
