Zimmer Biomet Cookie Notice
When you visit a Zimmer Biomet website (“Site”), we may use one or more cookies, and this cookie notice explains cookies and how we use them.
When you visit a Site, your web browser sends a request message to the Site, which then sends a response, usually in the form of a file that is placed on your computer or other device. In such interactions, the Site cannot distinguish one browser’s request from another. If you want your browser to be recognized and individualized, so to speak, 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 Site, then the Site must be able to identify your browser every time it makes a request. Therefore, when you visit many Sites, your browser will, at the request of the Site, save a small file called a “cookie” 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 Site that sent the cookie to ensure that “you,” that is, your browser, is recognized as a previous visitor with particular preferences.
Cookies may collect personal data (which, in some jurisdictions, would include your internet protocol (IP) address). Please consult our Privacy Notice page for more information on how we process personal data.
Common uses for cookies include:
Identifying visitors who have signed into a protected Site, which enables them to visit multiple pages without being required to submit a username and password for every page;
Keeping track of visitors’ preferences regarding the content they would like to see and the format in which they would like to view it so they don’t need to resubmit the preferences every time they visit the site;
Keeping track of the pages visitors’ request and other statistics, which creates data that can be used to make improvements to Site content and navigation; and
Enabling advertising on third party websites.
We use certain cookies that are considered “strictly necessary” for the regular operation and security of our Sites, as well as for the provision of the services and products you request. For these cookies, we do not ask for your consent but we do inform you about their presence on our Sites.
