This site uses cookies to store information on your computer. Some cookies on this site are essential and the site won’t work as expected without them. To learn more about cookies and their benefits, please view our Cookie Policy.

 By using the website, you consent to our use of cookies on this device in accordance with our Cookie Policy unless you have disabled them.

This Cookie Policy may be amended by Sanofi Aventis Singapore Pte Ltd. (“we” or “us”) at any time. Please check this page periodically to inform yourself of any changes.

1. Cookies – what are they?

A cookie is a small data file stored on your computer or mobile device at the request to your browser from a website when you visit this website. The cookie allows the website to “remember” your actions or preference for a certain period of time.

Most browsers allow cookies. However, users can set their browsers to refuse or remove them, if they wish.

Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser. They are known as session cookies. Others remain on your device until they expire or until you delete them from your cache. They are called permanent cookies and enable certain information about your use to be recalled when you return to the website.

A cookie can temporarily store anonymous information about the use and users of a website.

Some cookies are required in order to use a website, others allow customization and optimization of the displayed content, the collection of user preferences or the monitoring of the website's audience, website errors and the securing of its access.

2. How we use cookies

We may use the following types of cookies on this website (the “Site”):

·         Strictly necessary cookies. These are cookies that are required for the operation of this Site. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to log into secure areas of the Site.

·         Analytical/performance cookies. These are a type of persistent cookie (as explained in the “Cookies – what are they?” section above). They allow us to recognize and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around the Site when they are using it. This helps us to understand what people do and don't like about the Site so it can be improved, for example by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily. Since Google started providing its own analytics technology free of charge to website owners, almost all websites use some form of it - although there are also paid-for services available to rival Google's service. Analytical cookies are probably the most common form of cookies in use today.

·         Functionality cookies. These remember your preferences (for example, your language preferences).

You can find more information about the individual cookies we use and the purposes for which we use them in the “Cookies we use” section below.

4. What to do if you don’t want cookies to be set

Some people find the idea of a website storing information on their computer or mobile device a bit intrusive, particularly when this information is stored and used by a third party without them knowing. Although this is generally quite harmless, you may not, for example, want to see advertising that has been targeted to your interests (although no such cookies are used on this Site).

If you prefer, it is possible to block cookies, by changing a setting within your web browser that allows you to refuse the setting of all or some cookies, or to delete cookies that have already been set. The “help” section of your browser will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting cookies. We have included further details on how to manage cookies on popular browsers in the “Managing cookie settings” section below. However, please note, if you use your browser settings to block all cookies (including essential cookies), you may not be able to access all or parts of this Site.

You can set your browser to accept or reject all cookies, to be notified when a cookie is issued, to check its validity, duration and content and to periodically delete cookies.

You can also type “cookies” in your browser's help section to access the setup instructions. For information about how to manage cookies on the browser of your mobile device, you will need to consult the device manual.
