Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy provides information on how cookies, tracking pixels, web beacons, SDKs, and other tracking technologies (collectively “Cookies”) are used by Medtronic MiniMed, Inc. (MiniMed) on our websites so that you can make an informed choice about your acceptance of Cookies and similar technologies. 

What are Cookies?

A “Cookie” is a small text file that is placed and stored on your computer, smartphone or other device by an internet browser when you visit a website or use an app. Cookies allow websites to recognize your computer, smartphone, tablet or other device as you browse. They are widely used in order to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies can be set directly by the website owner, in which case they are called “first party Cookies”. “Third party Cookies” are Cookies from a domain different than the domain of the website you are visiting. Depending on how long a Cookie remains in place, Cookies can be either session or persistent Cookies. A session Cookie is a Cookie that expires at the end of your browser session (normally when you exit your browser). Cookies that can be stored for longer are called “persistent Cookies”.

Cookies we use

  •  Necessary Cookies

These Cookies are necessary for our websites to function or are set in order to enable services that you request, such as secure login, protecting your account, supporting core features and connectivity. These Cookies do not process health information and cannot be disabled, as the platform cannot function without them. 

  • Non-technical Analytic Cookies / Third Party Analytic Cookies

These Cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our websites. They help us to know which pages are the most and least visited and see how visitors move around the site. If you do not allow these Cookies we will not know when you have visited our site and will not be able to monitor its performance.

  • Advertising Cookies

These cookies may be set through our site by us or our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you personalized ads on other sites based on your browsing history and profile. They do not store directly personal information, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. These cookies may also include a range of social media services that we have added to the site to enable you to share our content with your friends and networks. They are capable of tracking your browser across other sites and building up a profile of your interests. This may impact the content and messages you see on other websites you visit.
