This Cookie Notice explains how ECI Therapeutics (“ECI,” “we“, “us” or “our“) uses cookies and similar technologies in connection with our website – https://www.ecitherapeutics.com – and any other website that we own or control and which posts or links to this Cookie Notice (collectively, the “Sites”).

You do not need to allow cookies to visit most of the Sites. However, enabling cookies may allow for a more tailored browsing experience and is required for certain parts of the Sites to work.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies serve different purposes, like helping us understand how a site is being used, letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, and generally improving your browsing experience.

What are the key concepts?

First-party cookies. These cookies are served directly by us to your computer or mobile device, which we use to recognize your computer or mobile device when it revisits our Sites.

Third-party cookies. They are cookies that are set by a domain other than that of the website being visited by the user. If a user visits a website and another entity sets a cookie through that website, this would be a third-party cookie. Third-party cookies can be used for a variety of purposes, including site analytics, advertising, and social media features.

Persistent cookies. They are cookies that remain on a user’s device for the period of time specified in the cookie. They are activated each time that the user visits the website that created that particular cookie.

Session cookies. These cookies allow website operators to link the actions of a user during a browser session. A browser session starts when a user opens the browser window and finishes when they close the browser window. Session cookies are created temporarily. Once you close the browser, all session cookies are deleted.

What types of cookies and similar tracking technologies do we use on the Sites?

On the Sites, we use cookies and other tracking technologies in the following categories described in the table below.

What are the categories and purposes of the cookies used on the Sites?

We use “strictly necessary”, “functional”, “targeting” and “performance/analytics” cookies on our Sites:
