This Cookie Policy describes the different types of cookies that we use in connection with the website owned and controlled by Oxford Biomedica plc (“Oxford Biomedica”, referred to also as “we”, “us” and “our”) from which you are accessing this Cookie Policy (the “Site”), and how you can manage them.

What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device by websites, apps, online media, and advertisements that “remember” that your computer or device has accessed the Site. They are widely used in order to make websites work, or work in a better, more efficient way. They can do this because websites can read and write these files, enabling them to recognize you and remember important information that will make your use of a website more convenient (e.g., by remembering preference settings). Cookies are often used in conjunction with “pixel tags” (also known as “web beacons” or “clear gifs”). Pixel tags are small images that we, our analytics providers, advertisers, and other third parties can use to interact with cookies and other tracking technologies.
