Essential cookies or strictly necessary cookies
Our website uses cookies to ease your visit. Those cookies are essential to run the website or save your user preference. For example, they are used to store the preferred language used to browse our website, to memorize your preference, and to balance the visit’s load on our website servers. These cookies are valid either for the session time or in the limit of thirteen (13) months.
Non-essential cookies
Performance cookies: Our website uses cookies to help us for statistical purposes and analytical services such as how many visits we have to our website, as a type of aggregate counter. We do not link the information stored in cookies to any personal data you submit while on our website4.
These cookies are mostly third-party cookies, they are not saved by us. We therefore suggest that you read the website policies of these third parties to find out more about the saved cookies and how they are managed.
We use web analytics services, such as Google Analytics to collect website analytics. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to analyze how users use the domains and provide other services related to the website and internet use. The information generated about your website usage, including your anonymized IP address, is transmitted to Google Analytics and stored on servers in the US. Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website (without knowing who you are), to compile statistical reports on website activity, and to provide other services related to the website and the internet use activity. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf.
As with all our cookies, Google Analytics is only activated with your consent. You may give or withdraw your consent at any time by using the Cookie Settings on our Site. You may also deactivate Google Analytics by following the instructions provided at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Besides Google Analytics, we may use a number of technologies offered by different providers to support website analytics and user tracking.
Functional cookies: These cookies enable our website to enhance functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party service providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.

D. How long do cookies last?
Cookies can be temporary or persistent:
- Temporary or session cookies are stored temporarily on your computer or mobile device. As soon as you close your browser, these cookies are automatically deleted.
- Persistent cookies remain on your device longer, even after you close your browser. They remain on your device until the expiration date is reached and a new version of the cookie is installed or until you delete them manually. These cookies allow us to recognize you when you visit the website later.
The duration depends on the purpose for which certain cookies are installed on your computer. For example, a session cookie may be used to recognize visitors within a series of web pages so that any choices or data selections made by that user are saved from page to page. A persistent cookie, on the other hand, may be used to remember your previous language settings when you return to the same webpage.
Regardless of the purpose behind each specific cookie, Invacare takes into account the principle of data minimization when setting this duration. This means that, whenever possible, Invacare will opt for the shortest possible duration that still allows the cookie to perform its function.
