COOKIES NOTICE
European laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) and the e-Privacy Directive 2002/58/EC, create obligations for digital publishers such as IGM Biosciences, Inc. (henceforth IGM) to give visitors of their sites and apps information about how they will use and share their personal data, as well as about the use of cookies, and other forms of local storage.
As IGM is using cookies on its website, clear and mandatory information must be mentioned in this Cookies Notice, as set out below.
INFORMATION ABOUT COOKIES
1. What are cookies?
A cookie is a text file, normally consisting of letters and numbers, sent by a web server to a web browser and stored by the browser on the user’s device (e.g., computer, telephone, tablet). These cookies can be used to identify or to collect information about you.
2. What types of cookies are there?
Cookies can be classified as follows, depending on the owner:
-
- First-party cookies. They are created, sent to your device and stored by the website you are visiting directly. They permit the collection of customer analytics data, remember language settings, and carry out other useful functions that help provide a good user experience.
- Third-party cookies. They are created and placed by third parties other than the website you are visiting directly. They are not managed by IGM, but by the third party that processes the data obtained from the cookies.
Cookies can also be classified depending on the purpose of their placement. The main categories are:
-
- Strictly necessary cookies (also called “technical cookies”). They allow you to browse a website, a platform or an app, and to use the various options or services on it (e.g., control traffic, identify data or session, access to restricted access sections or content, etc.).
- Functional cookies. They help to make the website usable by providing you some basic features and by remembering your preferences and choices while using the website (e.g., language, the region from where the service is accessed, etc.). Not accepting cookies may cause slow website performance or poorly adapted recommendations.
- Statistics cookies. They allow a better understanding of how you interact with the website (e.g., which pages are visited the most) in order to optimize the functioning of the website.
- Marketing cookies. They monitor your behavior on the website. The aim is to display advertisements that are meaningful and attractive to you and therefore more useful to third party publishers and advertisers, as well as to make promotional and specific information available to you on the website.
Cookies may also be divided into two categories depending on the period for which they are stored:
-
- Session cookies. They are placed on your device during a browsing session to recognize and link your actions during that browsing session. A session cookie disappears after you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies. They are placed on your device between sessions. A persistent cookie remains after you close your browser and may be used by your browser on subsequent visits to the website.

These cookies help to improve the functioning of IGM’s website and can be used for several purposes:
