This website is managed by VICO Therapeutics (“VICO”, “we”).
To improve our services, our website uses various kinds of cookies. This Cookie Statement explains what cookies are, which cookies we use on our website, what they do and how you can allow or refuse cookies.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file that is stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. For example, cookies help a website to remember the pages you have visited and your preferences (such as language and font size), so that you do not have to re-enter them every time you visit the website.
Cookies can be both permanent (permanent) cookies and temporary (session) cookies. Session cookies remain in your browser’s cookie file until you leave the website. Persistent cookies remain in the cookie file of your browser for much longer; however, how long depends on the lifespan of that particular cookie.
There are different types of cookies: functional cookies, analytical cookies, marketing cookies, third-party tracking cookies.
Type | Function | Needs Consent |
Functional / Necessary | Functional cookies are necessary for a website to function better and more user-friendly. For example, these are files that track language preference, font, device type, etc. | NO |
Analytical / Statistical | Websites use analytical cookies to keep track of visitor statistics, among other things. This gives them a better insight into the operation of the website. Analytical cookies have hardly any influence on privacy. | NO |
Tracking / Marketing / Third-party cookies | Some websites allow other websites to also place cookies on the user’s computer: consent is always required. The visitor is followed during the visit to the website and possibly afterwards. This is privacy-sensitive information, because personal data can also be processed when placing these cookies. These cookies track individual surfing behaviour and set up profiles to enable, for example, targeted advertisements (re-targeting). The Dutch Telecommunicatiewet, Article 11.7a stipulates that permission is required from the end user before data can be read out or placed with his device (such as computers, laptops, tablet or phones). | YES |

This means that we use cookies to automatically collect certain technical information when you are visiting our website, such as your (masked) IP address, the type of your mobile device or computer you use to access our website, details of your operating system and browser and or the information regarding the configuration of your computer or device.
Do we share information that is gathered by cookies?
In all cases in which we use cookies, we will not collect Personal Data except with your permission. VICO may provide other third parties with statistical information and analysis, but we verify that this happens in a privacy-friendly manner so no one can be identified from this information prior to disclosure.
