1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They contain an identifier (a string of letters and numbers) sent by a web server to a web browser and stored by that browser. The identifier is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server.

2. Types of cookies

In general, there are three different ways to classify cookies: based on their purpose, duration, and provenance.

 

Purpose

  • Strictly necessary cookies: These cookies are essential for browsing the website and using its features, such as accessing secure areas. 

  • Performance cookies: These cookies collect information about how you use a website, like which pages you visited and which links you clicked. Their sole purpose is to improve website functions. This includes cookies from third-party analytics services as long as the cookies are for the exclusive use of the owner of the website visited.

  • Functional cookies: These cookies allow us to remember your preferences and choices, such as your region or language. These cookies allow us to provide you with personalized features. 

  • Targeting cookies: These cookies track your online activity to help advertisers deliver more relevant advertising or to limit how many times you see an ad. These cookies can share that information with other organizations or advertisers. These are persistent cookies and are almost always of third-party provenance.

  • Social media cookies: These cookies are set by third-party social media platforms that have been integrated into our website.

Duration

  • Session cookies: These cookies are temporary and expire once you close your browser (or once your session ends).

  • Persistent cookies: This category encompasses all cookies that remain on your hard drive until you erase them or your browser does, depending on the cookie’s expiration date. All persistent cookies have an expiration date written into their code, but their duration can vary. These cookies allow us to remember your preferences and activity across multiple visits to our website. 

Provenance

  • First-party cookies: These cookies are placed on your device directly by Avery Dennison.

  • Third-party cookies: These cookies are placed on your device, not by the website you are visiting, but by a third party like an advertiser or an analytic system.

3. Why do we use cookies?

We use cookies to give you the best possible experience on our website. For example, cookies help us to continuously improve our website, remember your settings during and between visits, improve the speed and security of our website, and tailor advertising to your interests.

 

Our website utilizes essential cookies and non-essential cookies to enhance your browsing experience. Essential cookies are critical for the proper functioning of our site, while non-essential cookies provide additional benefits such as personalization. We use cookies to personalize content, improve website functionality, and gather valuable statistical and analytical data. This information helps us optimize our content, measure website performance, and make informed decisions to continuously improve the user experience.

4. What cookies do we use?

We use first and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons for our websites to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Websites. Third parties serve cookies through our Websites for advertising purposes. 

 

The specific types of first and third-party cookies served through our Websites and the purposes they perform are described can be consulted in the cookies settings available to you in each one of our websites. Below, you may consult more detailed information about the cookies we use on this website. Please note that the cookies used on other websites of Avery Dennison may differ. To learn about the specific cookies being used on other websites, please consult the "Do not sell my data" page located at the bottom of the website you are browsing.

 

Strictly necessary cookies:

 

Strictly necessary cookies are essential for the proper functioning of a website. These cookies are needed for the proper functionality of the website and cannot be disabled. They enable features such as navigating between pages, filling out forms, and accessing secure areas of the website.

 

Strictly necessary cookies are used solely for the purpose of providing the services requested by the user. These cookies are set by the website itself and do not require consent from the user.

Performance cookies

 

Performance cookies collect information about how a website is used by the visitors. These cookies help to improve the user experience by tracking page load times, website performance, and error reports. Performance cookies do not track a user's activity across multiple websites. Instead, they provide aggregated data about website usage and performance, which helps website owners to improve the website's functionality and design. Examples of performance cookies include analytics cookies that track website traffic and usage patterns and load-balancing cookies that ensure the website remains accessible and responsive. Performance cookies may be set by the website itself or by third-party service providers. 

 

See detailed overview of performance cookies

 

Functional cookies

 

Functional cookies are a type of cookie that allows a website to remember a user's preferences and choices. These cookies enable the website to provide a more personalized experience by remembering user settings, such as language preference, font size, and location. They also allow the website to provide customized content, such as suggested products or services based on the user's previous activity. Unlike performance cookies, functional cookies collect personal information about the user, but this information is not used for advertising or other non-functional purposes. Functional cookies may be set by the website itself or by third-party service providers.

 

See detailed overview of functional cookies

 

Targeting cookies

 

These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They do not store directly personal information, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.

 

See detailed overview of targeting cookies



Social media cookies

 

These cookies are necessary for you to use services that are provided by third parties, such as social media platforms like YouTube.

 

See detailed overview of social media cookies

5. Social media buttons

Social media buttons enable social media cookies for optimal interaction with social media channels such as YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, etc., as they are necessary to provide certain functions on our websites and in our apps, such as the Twitter 'Tweet' button, LinkedIn 'Share' button, playback of a video on YouTube, etc. These cookies do not allow us to access your social media accounts or the data you store within them.

 

The use of or interaction with social media buttons or functions is subject to the respective provider’s rules. Avery Dennison has no influence on the social media channel concerning collecting your personal data (e.g., your IP address) and information about your browsing behavior for purposes specific to those third parties. We encourage you to consult the relevant social media network's terms of use and privacy notices to learn how the network handles your personal data.

6. Tracking technologies

Cookies are one of many ways to recognize or track visitors to a website. However, we may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs''). These tiny graphics files contain a unique identifier that enables us to recognize when someone has visited our Websites. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within our Websites to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to our Websites from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve website performance, and to measure the success of email marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies rely on cookies to function correctly, so declining cookies will impair their functioning.

7. What are my privacy options?

When you first visit our site, you will be asked to choose your cookie settings. By accepting cookies, you give your consent to set the cookies. You can always opt out again by changing the cookie settings. 

 

You can also delete all cookies on your device by clearing your browser's browsing history, which will remove all cookies from all websites you have visited. Be aware that blocking some types of cookies may impact your experience on the website and the services we are able to offer.


Most web browsers also allow some control of most cookies through the browser settings. To find out more about interest-based ads and your choices, please visit the Digital Advertising Alliance, the Network Advertising Initiative, the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) Europe, AllAboutCookies, or Your Online Choices.
