Note: This policy should be read in conjunction with the specific privacy policy for the ZOLL website (e.g. zoll.com, zolldata.com) that you were visiting or planning on visiting.
Introduction
As you navigate through and interact with ZOLL® websites, we may use technologies like cookies, web beacons, tags, tracking pixels, etc. (in this policy we will refer to all of these technologies simply as "cookies").
What are "cookies"?
Cookies are small computer files that are placed on your device, by either website owners or third parties, when you visit websites. They allow certain information about your preferences and browsing actions on websites to be collected and then further processed.
Sometimes cookies may themselves store information relevant to your use of a website (e.g. what your language preference is). They may also just contain a unique ID that can be linked to information that is stored, by either the owner of the website or a third party, about your preferences and previous browsing actions.
Cookies are sometimes categorised as “session” or “persistent” cookies. Session cookies are stored on your device only for the length of your browsing session before being deleted, while persistent cookies are stored and can be used for longer periods of time before they are deleted (i.e. they can be used across multiple browsing sessions).
Information collected through cookies
The information we collect through cookies may include:
Recipients of information collected through cookies
The information collected through cookies may be accessed by ZOLL entities and also by third parties for the purposes associated with the given cookie (e.g. analytics, marketing). Specific details on which third parties have access to information collected through each cookie can be found in the "Specific Cookies We Use" section below.
Purposes and legal bases for the cookies we use
We use cookies for “strictly necessary” purposes, “analytics” purposes and “marketing” purposes. The table below outlines more detail about these purposes as well as the legal basis, as applicable under the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), for the processing associated with each type of cookie.
| Cookie type | Purpose | Legal basis |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary / Essential | These are cookies that are strictly necessary to support the performance of the website and to provide the service you have requested. The specific purposes for them can include remembering language preferences or remembering the goods a user wishes to buy when they go to the checkout. | The legal basis for the placement of these cookies on your device and the use of any data provided by them is legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). The legitimate interest is that these cookies are strictly necessary to support the performance of the website and to provide the service that you have requested. |
| Analytics | Analytics cookies are used by website owners and third parties to collect data about how a user has acted while on a website (e.g. pages they have viewed, links they have clicked on, search terms used). This is so that this data, sometimes combined with data about other websites the user has visited and their demographic data (e.g. location, age, etc.), can be analysed and then used to improve the quality of a website. For example, if analytics shows that 80% of the links that are clicked on are at the top of a page, then this is where the most important links may then be placed. | The legal basis for the placement of analytics cookies on your device and the use of any data collected through them is “consent” (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR). This consent can be withdrawn at any time by clicking on the link to your Cookie Settings on each of our webpages. The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of any processing based on consent that was provided before consent was withdrawn. |
| Marketing | Marketing cookies are used by website owners and third parties to collect data about how a user has acted while on a website (e.g. pages they have viewed, links they have clicked on, search terms they have used). This is so that this data, sometimes combined with data about other websites the user has visited and their demographic data (e.g. location, age, etc.), can be analysed and used to build a profile of a user that helps determine what ads the user may be most interested in seeing. A simple example of this is that a user may be shown an ad for a particular type of shoe if they have previously viewed that type of shoe on another website. Marketing cookies may also track user engagement with the ads ultimately shown. This is in order to avoid unwanted duplicate advertising and to track the amount of times ads result in some form of ad conversion (e.g. an ad being clicked on or an actual sale). | The legal basis for the placement of marketing cookies on your device and the use of any data collected through them is consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR). This consent can be withdrawn at any time by clicking on the link to your Cookie Settings on each of our webpages. The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of any processing based on consent that was provided before consent was withdrawn. |
Your choices regarding cookies
We use a consent management platform (CMP) in order to provide information to website users about the cookies that we use and to allow users to make choices about whether they consent to the use of cookies which require consent.
The CMP will appear as a banner the first time that you arrive on one of our websites and periodically after that when we again check with you about your preferences. You may also choose to update your preferences (including withdrawing, with future effect, any consent you have previously given) at any time by clicking on the link to your Cookie Settings on each of our webpages.
You will notice through the CMP that strictly necessary cookies will always be placed on your device and/or used when you visit our websites. This is simply because they are strictly necessary for the use of the website. In contrast, analytics and marketing cookies will only be placed on your device and/or used if you have consented to this processing through the CMP.
Through the cookie settings of your internet browser, you should also be able to delete stored cookies at any time, as well as deactivate or restrict the future transmission of cookies. Please note, however, that if you deactivate cookies, you may no longer be able to use all the functions of the website. In the menu of most browsers you will find setting options for the use of cookies.
