We at Cook Medical take your privacy seriously. Because we gather certain types of information about our users, we want to help you understand the terms and conditions surrounding the collection and use of that information.

What Information Does CookARTLab.com Collect?
There are two categories of information that CookARTLab.com may collect from its users:
• Personally identifying information you knowingly choose to disclose to CookARTLab.com; and
• Certain non-personally identifiable information collected on an aggregate basis.

Our policies concerning the collection and use of each type of information follow below.

Personal Information You Choose to Provide
It is our desire and intent that the Public Forum operated by this website allow for an open discussion of all aspects of assisted reproduction technology (A.R.T.). To that end, we have allowed our users to participate anonymously within the Public Forum and do not require participants to reveal any personally identifiable information in order to register for and access the Public Forum, or engage in online discussion with other Public Forum participants. However, any content posted to the Public Forum, including any personally identifiable information that a participant posts or provides as part of his/her Username, can be accessed by CookARTLab.com and is considered "public" and non-confidential. Once you post personally identifiable information in the Public Forum, you are no longer anonymous to us. Participants in the Public Forum are prohibited from posting any information that identifies or may be used to identify another participant.

Non-Personally Identifiable Information Collection and Use
As you move through CookARTLab.com, certain anonymous information may be collected using various technologies such as "cookies," Internet tags or web beacons. Navigational data is also collected, including log files, server logs and click stream. We also automatically receive and record information from our servers and from your browser, including your IP address, the time of your visit to pages on our site, and information about pages you visited on this website. The information we gather through the use of these tracking technologies cannot be matched with any personally identifiable information about you.

You do not need to have cookies turned on to visit this site, although active participation in certain areas of this site may require cookies. Cookies alone tell us nothing about who you are unless you specifically give us personally identifiable information. By adjusting your settings on your browser, you may elect not to allow cookies to be collected.

We use cookies and tracking technologies in a variety of ways, including keeping count of return visits to our site; accumulating and reporting anonymous, aggregate (data collected in mass), statistical information on website usage; and determining which features our overall user population likes best. In short, this data is collected to continually refine the site in order to build a better service for you.

Cook Group, Inc. or any subsidiary thereof ("Cook") is free to make full use of all information acquired through this website, including through electronic communications to this website, which does not contain personally identifiable information about a user of this website. Such uses may include, but are not limited to, disclosure to third parties and/or developing, manufacturing and/or marketing Cook goods or services.
