Please read the following to learn about our practices with respect to personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”) that we collect when you access or use our website. By visiting our website or using any associated features, you acknowledge that you accept the practices and policies outlined in this Privacy Policy.
TYPES OF INFORMATION THAT WE COLLECT FROM USERS:
Personal Information You Provide to Us:
On certain portions of our website, we collect individual information about the users of our website, including names, company affiliations, contact information (such as addresses, phone numbers and email addresses) and credit card and other financial information. We use this information to respond to users’ requests for information, which may include sending such individuals certain information about Codexis, or to communicate with users about their orders. We may also keep such information in our files for the purpose of distribution of marketing information about Codexis in the future.
Personal Information Collected Automatically:
· We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with our website. Codexis automatically receives and records information on our server logs from your browser including your IP address, cookie information, and the page you requested.
· Generally, we automatically collect usage information, such as the numbers and frequency of visitors to our site and its components, similar to TV ratings that indicate how many people watched a particular show. Codexis only uses this data in aggregate form, that is, as a statistical measure, and not in a manner that would identify you personally. This type of aggregate data enables us to figure out how often customers use parts of the website so that we can make the website appealing to as many users as possible. As part of this use of information, we may provide aggregate information to our partners about how our users, collectively, use our website. We share this type of statistical data so that our partners also understand how often people use our website, so that they, too, may provide you with an optimal online experience. Again, Codexis never discloses aggregate information to a partner in a manner that would identify you personally.
What About Cookies?
· Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer’s hard drive through your browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser and tell us how and when pages in our website are visited and by how many people. Codexis cookies do not collect Personal Information, and we do not combine the general information collected through cookies with other Personal Information to tell us who or where you are.
· Most browsers have an option for turning off the cookie feature, which will prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, as well as (depending on the sophistication of your browser) allowing you to decide on acceptance of each new cookie in a variety of ways. We strongly recommend that you leave the cookies activated, however, because cookies may be necessary to take advantage of some of our website’s features.
· Ads appearing on the website may be delivered to users by our advertising partners, who may set cookies. These cookies allow the ad server to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement to compile information about you or others who use your computer. This information allows ad networks to, among other things, deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you. This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by Codexis and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.

We will not rent or sell your Personal Information to anyone. We share your Personal Information only as described below.

We may also disclose Personal Information to third party agents or service providers who perform tasks on our behalf, which operate under data security standards and process such information in accordance with our instructions and solely for our purposes.
