GlaxoSmithKline Internet Privacy Statement
GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) respects the privacy of visitors to our online sites. GSK will only collect your personally identifiable information, such as your name, address, telephone number, fax number or e-mail address, when you provide it to us at this Web Site. GSK and/or the companies we hire will use this information to comply with your request for information or as otherwise disclosed to you on the web page when you submit your information to us. From time to time, we may refer to this information to better understand your needs and how we can improve our services
and we may need to pass the information to GSK companies outside the EU in order to do so. We may use this information to contact you. We will not sell or otherwise transfer the personally identifiable information you provide to us at this Web Site to any third parties for their own use unless we tell you when you submit your information to us that we intend to do so.
Like many Web Sites, this GSK Web Site uses a technology called a "cookie". A cookie is a small text file that a web server gives your browser to store on your computer when you access a Web Site. Cookies are capable of storing many types of data and may be placed on your browser by GSK or by a third party. Cookies are used for a variety of purposes on GSK Web Sites:
- Some GSK sites set cookies that keep you from having to enter a password more than once during visits to one or more of our sites.
- We also use cookies to help us analyse usage of our sites and traffic among our sites more accurately and to provide you with information of interest to you. For example, cookies are used on some GSK Web Sites to record the total number of hits received on the sites and web pages.
- Cookies also allow GSK to determine whether you came to a GSK site from another GSK site or from an advertising banner or link on a non-GSK Web Site, so that we can, for example, measure the effectiveness of the links among our sites and the effectiveness of our advertising on non-GSK Web Sites.
- Similarly, cookies allow us to determine whether you register on or visit any of our Web Sites, which enables us to analyse how particular users use our sites and whether registered and unregistered users of our Web Sites use our sites differently.
- Cookies also allow us to maintain information about how particular visitors use our family of sites, which enables us to better provide such visitors with information relevant to their interests. This may include using information about your use of our sites in conjunction with personally identifiable information that you have volunteered to us on one of our sites.
This is not an exhaustive list of all uses of cookies on GSK's Web Sites. In all cases in which cookies are used, however, neither GSK nor any third party will use the cookie to collect personally identifiable information from our site unless you voluntarily agree to enter the information. Most web browsers are set up to accept cookies. You can, however, reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. Note, however, that some portions of our sites may not work properly if you refuse cookies.
As a convenience to our visitors, this GSK site currently contains links to a number of Web Sites that we believe may offer useful information. The privacy policy and provisions described here do not apply to those third party sites. We suggest contacting the owner of any third party sites you wish to access via a link provided on this Web Site to obtain information on their data collection and distribution policies.
From time to time, GSK may decide to modify its practices and policies, and we reserve the right to revise this GSK Internet Privacy Statement as necessary to disclose such changes in our practices and policies. Any such changes to this GSK Internet Privacy Statement will be promptly communicated on this page. Any information that you submit before the change in policy will be used by GSK and/or the companies we hire in a manner that is consistent with the GSK Internet Privacy Statement in effect at the time you submitted your information. Continued use of our sites after receiving notice of a change in our privacy statement shall indicate your consent to the use of newly submitted information in accordance with the changed, amended, or updated GSK Internet Privacy Statement.
