Cookie Policy
Last Updated :
This Cookie Policy applies to the global websites operated by Seegene (the "Company”), including www.seegene.com and its subdomains.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on a user’s device (such as a PC, mobile phone, or tablet) when visiting a website.
Cookies enable websites to recognize a user’s device, remember user preferences, and analyze how the website is used in order to improve functionality and user experience.
2. Purpose of Using Cookies
The Company uses cookies for the following purposes:
To provide essential website functions and ensure stable operation
To analyze how visitors use the website in order to improve services
To enhance usability and performance of website content and features
To ensure transparency and manage user consent in accordance with applicable laws and regulations
The Company does not store or use any cookies other than strictly necessary cookies without the user’s prior consent.
For EEA and UK users, analytics, functional, and marketing cookies are processed solely based on consent in accordance with GDPR/UK GDPR. The Company does not rely on legitimate interests for non-essential cookies.
For California residents, certain analytics or advertising cookies may constitute a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information under the CCPA/CPRA. You may opt out at any time via the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link (see Section 5).
3. Types of Cookies Used
The Company classifies cookies according to their purpose as follows:
3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the basic operation of the website, including security, network management, and accessibility.
They are enabled automatically without user consent
They cannot be disabled through the [Cookie Settings] panel
Examples of purposes include:
Enabling page navigation and core website functions
Maintaining secure user sessions
Access control for the CMS and administrative functions
Only strictly necessary cookies load prior to any consent. All other cookies are blocked until the user provides an affirmative choice (see Section 5).
3.2 Performance / Analytics Cookies
These cookies collect information about how visitors use the website, such as which pages are visited most frequently, how long users stay on the site, and whether errors occur.
This information is used solely to improve website performance and user experience.
These cookies are activated only after the user has provided consent
Examples of tools used:
Google Analytics 4 (GA4)
Google Tag Manager (with Consent Mode)
3.3 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow the website to remember user choices (such as language, region, or other preferences) in order to provide enhanced and personalized features.
These cookies are activated only after the user has provided consent
3.4 Marketing / Targeting Cookies
These cookies may be used to deliver content that is more relevant to users and their interests.
On the Company’s global website, such cookies are used only to a limited extent
Where used, they are activated only with the user’s explicit prior consent
Where applicable, marketing cookies may involve profiling to provide personalized content or measure the effectiveness of campaigns. You can refuse or withdraw consent at any time via [Cookie Settings] link (see Section 5).
3.5 Other Tracking Technologies (pixels, SDKs and local storage)
In addition to cookies, the website may use similar technologies such as pixels, web beacons, SDKs or local storage. These technologies are treated in the same way as cookies for consent purposes and are governed by this Cookie Policy.
4. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies may be set by third-party service providers, such as analytics service providers, rather than directly by the Company.
In such cases, the third parties process data in accordance with their own privacy and cookie policies.
The Company works only with trusted service providers in compliance with applicable global regulations, including the GDPR, and applies appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) where required.
Where personal data is transferred to countries outside your jurisdiction, the Company implements appropriate safeguards such as SCCs and, where applicable, supplementary measures based on a transfer impact assessment.
A complete cookie list (including the third-party cookies) including name, provider, purpose, retention periods, and transfer locations is available in the [Cookie Settings] link and may be updated from time to time.
5. Cookie Consent and Management
5.1 Cookie Consent
When a user first visits the website, a cookie banner is displayed, allowing the user to choose whether to consent to the use of different categories of cookies.
Users may withdraw their consent or change their preferences at any time by clicking the cookie icon button located at the bottom left of the screen.
Strictly necessary cookies are always active and cannot be disabled through the Cookie Settings panel, although users may disable them through their browser settings; however, doing so may affect the website’s core functions.
The cookie banner presents “Accept All”, “Reject All”, and “Manage Settings” with equal prominence. No pre‑ticked boxes are used, and continued browsing or scrolling is not treated as consent.
Non‑essential cookies (analytics, functional, marketing) are blocked until consent is obtained (prior blocking). Consent choices are logged to demonstrate compliance and are refreshed periodically (e.g., every 6–12 months).
5.2 Managing Cookie Settings
Users can manage their cookie preferences at any time by clicking the cookie icon button located at the bottom left of the screen. Users may also configure their browser settings to refuse or delete cookies.
Please note that disabling cookies may affect the proper functioning of certain features of the website.
You can reopen the cookie banner at any time by clicking the cookie icon button at the bottom left of the screen to withdraw consent with one click. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
For California residents, you may also opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information related to advertising cookies through the same cookie icon button at the bottom left of the screen.
6. Cookie Retention Period
Cookies may be stored either as session cookies or persistent cookies, depending on their purpose.
Session Cookies: Automatically deleted when the browser is closed
Persistent Cookies: Stored for a predefined period and deleted automatically upon expiration
Detailed information on the retention period of each cookie is available through the [Cookie Settings] panel.
7. Changes to This Cookie Policy
The Company may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in applicable laws, services, or technical environments.
Where material changes are made, the Company will provide notice through the website.
