Our Website uses technologies that enhance user friendliness and engagement, to keep the Website operating as smoothly as possible and to provide web services and functionalities for each visitor. Examples of these technologies are cookies, pixel tags, local storage objects and scripts.

 

We may use cookies for a variety of purposes. For example, to calculate web statistics, or improve your experience when you visit our Website.

 

As your privacy is important to us, we would like to inform you  in more detail about which cookies are used on our Website and how you can manage your cookie preferences. Most cookies do not store personal information. However, from time to time, cookies may contain information relating to a person who can be identified, either alone or in combination with other information available to us (“Personal Information”) such as your IP address.

What Is a Cookie?

 

A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers that we store on your browser or the hard drive of the device you use when visiting our websites. Unless you have adjusted your browser setting so that it will block cookies, our system will issue cookies on your browser as soon as you visit the websites.

 

There are different types of cookies with different functionalities that are commonly used:

 

First and third-party cookies

The difference between a first party cookie and a third-party cookie relates to who places the cookie on your device.

 

●      First-party cookies are those set by a website that is being visited by the user at the time (e.g., cookies placed by our website domain, for example www.ag.fmc.com).

●      Third-party cookies are cookies that are set by a domain other than that of the website being visited by the user. If a user visits a website and another entity sets a cookie through that website, this would be a third-party cookie.

 

Persistent cookies

These cookies remain on a user’s device for the period of time specified in the cookie. They are activated each time that the user visits the website that created that particular cookie.



Session cookies

These cookies allow website operators to link the actions of a user during a browser session. A browser session starts when a user opens the browser window and finishes when they close the browser window. Session cookies are created temporarily. Once you close the browser, all session cookies are deleted.

The Website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC ("Google"). Google Analytics uses cookies to collect, monitor and analyze information in order to improve functionality and user-friendliness, and to better tailor the Services to our visitors’ needs. Accordingly, usage data like your IP address is shared with Google, which has its own privacy policy addressing how it handles such information and any choices you may have about the collection and use of information. Google will use this information on behalf of FMC to evaluate your use of the Website, to compile reports on Website activity and to provide other services related to Website activity and internet usage to us.

 

Please note that on the Website, Google Analytics code is supplemented by “gat._anonymizeIp();” to ensure an anonymized collection of IP addresses (so called IP-masking).



For more information about Google Analytics cookies, please see Google Analytics’ help page and Google’s privacy policy. Further information concerning the terms and conditions of use and data privacy can be found here.

 

Analytics Opt Out

Google has developed the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on; if you want to opt out of Google Analytics, you can download and install the add-on for your web browser here.

 

Anonymization / Truncation in the EEA

Google Analytics provides an IP masking feature, which can be activated by us.  IP masking is activated on this Website, which means that your IP address will be shortened by Google (IP masking/truncating) before it is collected, within member states of the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the US and shortened there. On behalf of the website, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on your activity for us and third parties who help operate and provide services related to the website. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. You may refuse the use of these cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser as discussed in this notice. However, please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use the full functionality of the website. Furthermore, you can prevent Google’s collection and use of data (cookies and IP address) by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available here.

We also participate in third-party ad networks including Google Ads and allow Google to use cookies, pixel tags and other tracking technologies on  our websites to collect usage information and display targeted ads; Google may be able to associate the information they collect with other information they have about you from other sources. You can select your advertising preferences with regards to Google advertising here.

Our Website may integrate certain third-party cookies, pixels and/or plug-ins (such as Facebook Connect and Twitter Pixel).  These cookies may collect information about you, such as your IP address and the pages that you view. These cookies are governed by the privacy policy of the third party providing them.

Connected Devices

We or our third-party service providers also may use collected information to establish connections among related web browsers and devices (such as smartphones, tablets, computers, and TVs) for targeted advertising, analytics, attribution, and reporting purposes. These third parties may match your browsers or devices if you log into the same online service on multiple devices or if your devices share similar attributes that support an inference that they are used by the same person or household. This means that information about your activity on Website or apps on your current browser or device may be combined with information collected from your other browsers or devices.
