This policy ("Cookie Policy") is issued by BioTrust Medical Waste Services(referred to as "BioTrust", "we", "us" or "our") and provides information on how we use cookies and similar technologies on our websites. The information set out in this Cookie Policy is in addition to our Privacy Notice, which provides comprehensive information about how we use your personal data both on the BioTrust websites and offline. You can read our Privacy Policy, and if you require further information on how we collect, process, and use personal data, please contact info@biotrustus.com.
Please read this Cookie Policy carefully for more details about the information we collect when using our websites and where we use cookies.

When you visit BioTrust’s websites or view our services online, we, or an authorized third party, may send you a cookie. Cookies are small text files located in your browser directory that may be placed on your device. When a website is accessed, a cookie that is placed on a device will send information to the party that has placed the cookie. Each cookie will typically contain the name of the domain from which the cookie has come, the "lifetime" of the cookie, and a value (usually a unique number).
Overview
First-Party and Third-Party Cookies
Our website may place first-party cookies and allow third parties to place cookies on your device. The difference between a first-party cookie and a third-party cookie relates to the control of the party that places the cookie. First-party cookies are cookies that are specific to the website that created them. Their use enables us to operate an efficient service and to track the patterns of behavior of website users. Third-party cookies, on the other hand, are placed on your device by a third party . While we may allow third parties access to our site to place these cookies on your devices, we do not retain control over the information supplied by the cookies, nor do we retain access to that data. This information is controlled entirely by that third party in accordance with their respective privacy policy.
Session and Persistent Cookies
Our website may place session and persistent cookies on your device. Whereas the difference between a first-party and third-party cookie relates to the party controlling the initial placement of the cookie on your device, the difference between a session and a persistent cookie relates to the length of time the cookie lasts. Session cookies are cookies that typically last for as long as you are using your browser, or browser session. When you end your browser session, the cookie expires. Persistent cookies, as the name implies, are persistent and will last after you close your browser session. This allows for quicker and often more convenient access to our websites.
Clear GIFs/Web Beacons
Clear GIFs (also known as Web Beacons) are typically transparent and very small graphic images (usually 1-pixel x 1-pixel) that are placed on a website, which may be included in our services provided via our website, and typically work in conjunction with cookies to identify our users and user behavior.
