Privacy policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Abionic SA (“the Company”, “we”, “us” and ‘our’) uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website at https://www.abionic.com (“Website”). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as the rights you have to control our use of them.
In some cases, we may use cookies to collect personal information, or that becomes personal information if we combine it with other information.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their sites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Abionic SA) are called “first-party cookies”. Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called “third-party cookies”. Third-party cookies enable the provision of third-party features or functionality on or via the website (for example, advertising, interactive content and analytics). The parties setting these third-party cookies may recognize your computer when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.
Why do we use cookies?
We use first- and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Website to function, and we call these “necessary” or “strictly necessary” cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users in order to improve the experience on our online properties. Third parties use cookies on our Website for advertising, analytics and other purposes. This is described in more detail below.
How can I control cookies?
You have the right to accept or decline cookies. You can exercise your cookie rights by setting your preferences in the Cookie Consent Manager. The Cookie Consent Manager allows you to select the categories of cookies you wish to accept or reject. Necessary cookies cannot be rejected as they are strictly necessary to provide you with services.
The cookie consent manager can be found in the notification banner and on our Website. If you choose to decline cookies, you can still use our Website, but your access to certain features and areas of our Website may be limited. You can also set or modify your web browser controls to accept or decline cookies.
The specific types of first- and third-party cookies used on our Website and the purposes they serve are described in the table below (please note that the specific cookies used may vary depending on the online properties you visit) :

What about other tracking technologies, such as web beacons?
Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other similar technologies from time to time, such as web beacons (sometimes called “tracking pixels” or “web beacons”). These are tiny graphic files containing a unique identifier that lets us know whether someone has visited our Website or opened an e-mail containing them. This enables us, for example, to track user traffic patterns from one page of a website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you arrived at the website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance and to measure the success of e-mail marketing campaigns. In many cases, these technologies depend on cookies to function properly, so refusing cookies will hinder their operation.
Do you use Flash cookies or local shared objects?
Websites may also use “Flash Cookies” (also known as Local Shared Objects) to, among other things, collect and store information about your use of our services, for fraud prevention and other site operations.
If you do not wish Flash cookies to be stored on your computer, you can adjust your Flash player settings to block the storage of Flash cookies using the tools contained in the website's storage settings panel. You can also control Flash cookies by going to the global storage settings panel and following the instructions (which may include instructions explaining, for example, how to delete existing Flash cookies (called "information" on the Macromedia site), how to prevent Flash cookies from being placed on your computer without your request and (for Flash Player 8 and later versions) how to block Flash cookies that are not delivered by the operator of the page you are on at the time).
Please note that setting Flash Player to restrict or limit the acceptance of Flash cookies may reduce or hinder the functionality of certain Flash applications, including, potentially, Flash applications used in connection with our services or online content.
Do you use targeted advertising?
Third parties may place cookies on your computer or mobile device to serve advertising on our Website. These companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites to provide you with relevant advertising about goods and services that may be of interest to you. They may also use technology to measure the effectiveness of advertisements. To do this, they may use cookies or web beacons to collect information about your visits to this and other sites in order to provide you with relevant advertising about goods and services that may be of interest to you. The information collected in this way does not allow us or them to identify your name, contact details or other details that directly identify you, unless you choose to provide them.
How often will you update this Cookie Policy?
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons. We therefore invite you to consult this Cookie Policy regularly to keep up to date with our use of cookies and related technologies.
The date at the top of this Cookie Policy indicates when it was last updated.
