When you visit a website, your web browser sends a request message to the website, which then sends a response, usually in the form of a file that is read by the browser. In such interactions, the website cannot distinguish one browser’s request from another. When you visit an Exactech website, one or more cookies may be set on your device to improve your user experience when browsing an Exactech website. Please read the following information about cookies and how we use them.
If you want your browser to be recognized and individualized, so that you can, for example, continue to receive content that is delivered according to your submitted preferences without needing to resubmit them every time you visit another page on the website, then the website must be able to identify your browser every time it makes a request. Therefore, when you visit most websites, your browser will, at the request of the website, create a small text file called a cookie and save it on your device.
The file contains information (typically a random number) that uniquely identifies your browser on your device. This cookie will then serve as a signal the next time you visit the website that sent the cookie to ensure that “you,” that is, your browser, is recognized as a previous visitor with preferences. You can generally prevent the use of cookies if you prohibit the storage of cookies in your browser.
Pursuant to the Applicable Law, your prior explicit consent for the use of cookies is not always required. Such consent is not required for “technical cookies”, i.e. those used for the sole purpose of carrying out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network, or as strictly necessary to provide a service explicitly requested by the user. In other words, cookies which are indispensable for the operation of a website or to perform tasks requested by the user.
