This Cookie Notice explains how Ecolab uses cookies and similar technologies (collectively, “Cookies”) to recognize you when you visit our website. It explains what Cookie technologies are and why we use them.

Cookies are small data files that are placed or accessed on your device when you visit websites or other digital properties. Digital property owners can use Cookies for a variety of reasons, such as enabling their digital properties to work (or work more efficiently), providing personalized content, and advertising, and creating analytics. Cookies set by the digital property owner are called “first-party cookies.” Only the digital property owner can access the first-party Cookies it sets. Cookies set by parties other than the digital property owner are called “third-party Cookies.” Third-party Cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the digital property (such as advertising, interactive content, and social sharing). The parties that set these third-party Cookies can recognize your device both when it visits the digital property in question and when it visits other digital properties that have partnered with them.

1. Strictly Necessary Cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They enable basic features of the website and for security purposes related to user interaction. They are usually only set in response to user actions which may include a request for services, such as setting user privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms.
   
   
2. Performance Cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our website. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the website. All information these cookies collect is aggregated.
   
   
3. Functional Cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third party providers whose services we have added to our pages.
   
   
4. Advertising Cookies allow us to better understand your interests and show you ads that are more relevant to you on our website. These Cookies are used to track users over time and across websites, including by third parties. For example, we use Advertising Cookies to show our advertisements on third-party websites based on your user profile and preferences, and to determine when you visit our website directly from clicking on such advertisements. These Cookies may also reveal how many visitors with specific user profiles and preferences have seen or clicked on our advertisements to optimize our advertising campaigns.
   
   
5. Embedded YouTube Video Cookies are advertising and performance cookies associated directly with YouTube videos. YouTube collects user data through videos embedded in websites. YouTube videos will not display properly without these cookies. You will be provided with links to watch our videos on YouTube, if you do not wish to enable these cookies.

You can change your cookie preferences at any time by using the Cookie Preferences center on the Website.
