In some cases, the site will allow registration

this Site to improve the content and functionality
of this Site, to better understand our customers
and markets, to improve our products and services
and to market our products and services to our customers
and potential customers, including those who are

we may contact you with information about agricultural

Click-Stream
Data. Syngenta uses technology to track your
use of this Site, for example, which pages you view
and which links you use. This information about
your use of this Site is called "click-stream data."
Click-stream data helps us determine what is important
to you, and what is not. It helps us decide what
content and features to add and what to discard.
It also helps us determine whether our Site is easy
to use or whether we need to redesign certain pages
and links. Click-stream data does not identify you
personally. If Syngenta links any click-stream data
to your personal name we will treat it as personal
data.
Cookies.
We may obtain information about you by installing
our own marker on your computer. This marker is
commonly called a "cookie" and it enables us to
know you by a computer-generated, unique identifier.
By providing you a unique identifier, we are able
to create a database of your previous choices and
preferences, and in situations where those choices
or preferences need to be collected again, they
can be supplied by us automatically, saving you
time and effort. For example, after you purchase
a product once, if you need to purchase it again
you previous selection of size, colour or other
features will be retained and can be re-entered
more quickly. Your computer may be specially configured
to reject cookies: please refer to your browser
for more information.
