Cookie Information for Users

Like most other companies, Amgen uses “cookies” to improve the user experience for our website visitors. Cookies are tiny files, composed of a string of letters and numbers, placed on your computer or mobile device by web page servers. They enable Amgen to distinguish you from other users of our websites. Cookies do not enable Amgen to access or read any information on your hard drive – even if cookies are stored there.

Cookies may be associated with identifiable information you have provided while registering for an Amgen online service or while logged in, such as your email address when subscribing to an Amgen newsletter. This helps us provide you with a more personalized user experience, e.g. to enable us to deliver content relevant to your interests.

Cookies may also be deployed on behalf of Amgen by partners who provide services on our websites in accordance with our Privacy Statement.
