What does this policy cover?

This policy explains the terms that apply to users of any websites that are operated by or on behalf of Xylem Robotics (together “Xylem Robotics website“).

This Cookie Policy incorporates the following additional terms and conditions and policies:

By using the Xylem Robotics website, you understand that we may automatically collect and store information about your visit to Our Xylem Robotics websites, by using browser cookies or similar devices. By continuing to use Our Xylem Robotics websites you consent to our use of cookies in the manner and for the purposes set out below.

 

What is a cookie?

When referring to cookies in this policy, we are referring to HTTP cookies which are small text files stored on your browser when you use websites and applications. We use a mixture of ‘session’ cookies, (cookies stored in your web browser for a limited time while you are accessing our website) and ‘persistent’ cookies (which are stored for longer and which are activated each time you revisit our website).

Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons(sometimes called “tracking pixels” or “clear gifs“). These are tiny graphics files thatcontain a unique identifier that enables us to recognize when someone has visited our websites or opened an e-mail that we have sent them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within our websites to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to our websites from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve website performance, and to measure the success of e-mail marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.

Our websites may also use so-called “Flash Cookies” (also known as Local Shared Objects or “LSOs“) to, among other things, collect and store information about your use of our services, fraud prevention, and other website operations.

Why do we use cookies?

We may obtain information about your use of the Website by using a cookie file that is stored on the hard drive of your computer. Cookies contain information that is transferred to your computer’s hard drive. They help us to improve Xylem Robotics websites and to deliver a better and more personalized service. They enable us to:

  • estimate our audience size and usage pattern.
  • store information about your preferences and so allow us to customize Xylem Robotics websites according to your interests.
  • recognize you when you return to the Xylem Robotics website.
  • serve advertising through our websites.
