Introduction and scope

Santen UK Limited (Salisbury Hall, St Albans, AL2 1BU, UK, URL: https://www.santen.uk/) (“Santen”) is responsible for the collection and processing of your data as they relate to cookies used in this website.

This policy will explain how this website is using cookies in order to provide clear and relevant information to users on what choices the user has in terms of controlling what happens when he/she accesses our website. The policy uses the term ‘cookies’ to refer to cookies and similar technologies covered by the law (such as, for example, Local Shared Objects – commonly referred to as “flash cookies”, web beacons or bugs, including transparent clear gifs). The gathered information concerns data that could allow to identify web users/visitors by associating and processing them with other data kept by third parties (such as, for example, the IP address, domain and registration numbers of the computers used by people connecting to the website). Such data are used and processed only for statistical purposes.

This document is an integral and substantial part of the our Privacy policy and the information notice contained in it complies with the provisions set out by the UK Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA 2018) and the e-Privacy Directive 2002/58/EC, as amended and in force and any other related national and European data protection and data privacy laws and regulations including any relevant opinions and guidelines issued by Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). We recommend, therefore, that you also read our Privacy policy to know more about Santen’s general commitment to data protection.

Many of the features that make our website easy to use rely on us understanding how you use seesanten.com and remembering the information you freely provide. We do this by gathering small amounts of data each time you visit. This data is stored as “cookies”.
