Cookies and Tracking

A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor's computer, and that the visitor's browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. Elekta uses cookies and tracking pixels to help identify and track visitors, their usage of our websites, and their website access preferences. The cookies we use identify users merely as a number with a de-identified Cookie ID. We review this data in the aggregate to understand how different groups of visitors, for instance all of the visitors from a particular country, are navigating the site and what information is of the highest interest to the largest number of users in that group. If you are uncomfortable regarding cookies usage, you can disable cookies on your computer by clicking “Reject All.” However, if your browser does not accept cookies from one of Elekta's websites, you may not be able to access or use all features of that website.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, including in accordance with your consent where required by applicable law, we may engage in the following activities:

We may use your contact details to contact you to determine whether you would like to initiate a business relationship with us or to send you marketing emails. If you do not wish to receive such marketing emails, you may opt out by declining to receive such emails when registering or in our subsequent communications by following opt-out or unsubscribe instructions included in the email or at other information collection points on the Online Services.
We may make customer offers to you based on your activities across different Online Services, including activities on other web or digital properties or your other interactions with Elekta that are not via the Online Services (e.g., regional offers based on the location of your office listed on order forms).
We also perform statistical analyses of the users of our Online Services to improve the functionality, content, design, and navigation of the Online Services.

Processing Using Website Tracking

On certain portions of our websites, we use Google Analytics and/or Matomo to help us understand how users engage with us. Both Google Analytics and Matomo may track your activity on our sites (i.e., the webpages you have seen and the links you have clicked on) and helps us measure how you interact with the content that we provide. This information is used to compile reports and to help us improve the sites. The reports we receive disclose website trends without identifying individual visitors. You can learn about Google’s practices by going to www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners, and exercise the opt-out provided by Google by downloading the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout or reviewing the "Your Rights" link at bottom of this Notice. You can learn about Matomo’s practices by clicking https://matomo.org/matomo-cloud-privacy-policy.

Do-Not-Track Signals

Certain web browsers and other programs may transmit “opt-out” signals, also called a Global Privacy Control (or GPC) signal (we refer to these as “GPC Signals”), to websites with which the browser communicates. In most cases you will need to change your web browser’s settings or add an application to your web browser to enable your browser to send a GPC Signal. Elekta’s websites will recognize GPC Signals for website users differently, based on the location of the user when they access our websites. For users that access our websites from US states that have laws requiring recognition of GPC Signals, we will recognize and apply the GPC Signal to inactivate all of the cookies for that website, except for cookies that are necessary for the website to operate (“Strictly Necessary Cookies”). For users from states not currently requiring recognition of the GPC Signal, our website servers may recognize and apply the GPC Signal for only targeted advertising cookies, but will not apply the GPC Signal to functional, performance or social media cookies.

Behavioral Advertising
