Use of Cookies on Teva websites and digital properties/platforms (‘Sites’)
Teva uses cookies and similar technologies such as web beacons to collect information about you and store your online preferences. Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information which are downloaded to your device when you visit a Site. Cookies are then sent back to the website when you return to it: this is useful because it allows the website to recognise your device. To find out more about cookies please visit www.allaboutcookies.org.
Teva uses the following categories of cookies on the Site:
Category 1: Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the Site to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the Site will not then work.
Category 2: Performance Cookies
These cookies collect information on how people use and interact with the Site. We use these cookies to help us understand how users arrive at the Site, browse or use the Site and highlight areas where we can improve such as navigation, user experience and marketing campaigns. Where these are used in emails we use them to understand whether an email was opened, clicked on or sent to spam, time stamps of the above actions, and what device was used. This helps us to understand your level of interest and engagement with the information we send to you. The data collected can be combined with other data we collect to improve how the Site works and the quality and relevance of the information we sent to email recipients. For example we use Google Analytics to better understand how users use the Site. If you don’t want Google Analytics to be used in your browser, you can install this Google add-on: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en_GB..
Category 3: Functionality Cookies
These cookies are set to enhance functionality and personalisation on the Site. These can then be used to provide you with an experience more appropriate to your selections and to make your visits to the Site more tailored. The information these cookies collect may be non-directly identifiable
Category 4: Social Media Cookies:
These cookies are used when you share information using a social media sharing button or “like” button on our Sites, or when you engage with our content on or through a social site such as LinkedIn or Twitter. These cookies collect information about your social media interaction with the Site, such as whether or not you have an account with the social media site and whether you are logged into it when you interact with content on the Site. This information may be linked to targeting/advertising activities. Please see the “Third Party” section below for more information on social media platforms placing cookies on our Sites.
Category 5: Advertising cookies:

International Transfers
Teva operates internationally and will transfer your information to the recipients set out in the ‘Sharing Your Personal Data’ section. When transferring information outside your country Teva follows local privacy legislation.
For Europe (including UK and Switzerland): When transferring personal information to Israel, Teva generally relies on the European Commission’s (or local equivalent) adequacy decision with respect to the transfer of personal data to Israel; when transferring personal information to other countries outside the EEA that are not subject to an “adequacy decision” by the EU Commission (or equivalent), Teva generally relies on EU Commission approved standard contractual clauses. Information on the relevant mechanism can be provided upon request to Teva Privacy Office (contact information below).
