Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy was last updated on March 1, 2020

 

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored by your browser as you browse the internet. They can be used to collect, store, and share data about your activities across websites, including on SNF Wound Care. Cookies also allow us to remember things about your visits to SNF Wound Care, like your preferred language, and to make the site easier to use.

 

We use both session cookies, which expire after a short time or when you close your browser, and persistent cookies, which remain stored in your browser for a set period of time. We use session cookies to identify you during a single browsing session, like when you log into SNF Wound Care Wound Learning Academy. We use persistent cookies where we need to identify you over a longer period, like when you request that we keep you signed in.

 

Why does SNF Wound Care use cookies and similar technologies?

We use cookies and similar technologies like web beacons, pixel tags, or local shared objects (“flash cookies”), to deliver, measure, and improve our services in various ways. We use these cookies both when you visit our site and services through a browser and through our mobile app. As we adopt additional technologies, we may also gather additional data through other methods.

 

We use cookies for the following purposes:

 

Authentication and security

• To log you into SNF Wound Care

• To protect your security

• To help detect and fight spam, abuse, and other activities that violate SNF Wound Care’s agreements

 

For example, cookies help authenticate your access to SNF Wound Care and prevent unauthorized parties from accessing your accounts.

 

Preferences

• To remember data about your browser and your preferences

• To remember your settings and other choices you’ve made

 

For example, cookies help us remember your preferred language or the country you’re in, so we can provide content in your preferred language without asking each time you visit.

 

Analytics and research

• To help us improve and understand how people use SNF Wound Care

 

For example, cookies help us test different versions of SNF Wound Care to see which features or content users prefer, web beacons help us determine which email messages are opened, and cookies help us see how you interact with SNF Wound Care, like the links you click on.

 

We also work with a number of analytics partners, including Google Analytics and Mixpanel, who use cookies and similar technologies to help us analyze how users use the Services, including by noting the sites from which you arrive. Those service providers may either collect that data themselves or we may disclose it to them.

 

You can opt-out of some of these services through tools like the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on and Hotjar Opt-Out Cookie.

 

Personalized content

• To customize SNF Wound Care with more relevant content

For example, cookies help us show a personalized list of recommended courses on the homepage.

 

Advertising

• To provide you with more relevant advertising

 

To learn more about targeting and advertising cookies and how you can opt-out, visit www.allaboutcookies.org/manage-cookies/index.html, or if you’re located in the European Union, visit the Your Online Choices site.

 

Please note that where advertising technology is integrated into the Services, you may still receive advertising on other websites and applications, but it will not be tailored to your interests.

 

When using mobile applications you may also receive tailored in-app advertisements. Apple iOS, Android OS, and Microsoft Windows each provide its own instructions on how to control in-app tailored advertising. For other devices and operating systems, you should review your privacy settings or contact your platform operator.

 

Do we use web beacons and tracking pixels?

Our emails may contain a "web beacon" (or "tracking pixel") to tell us whether our emails are opened and verify any clicks through to links or advertisements within the email.

 

We may use this information for purposes including determining which of our emails are more interesting to users and to query whether users who do not open our emails wish to continue receiving them.

 

The pixel will be deleted when you delete the email. If you do not wish the pixel to be downloaded to your device, you should read the email in plain text view or with images disabled.

 

What are my privacy options?

You have a number of options to control or limit how we and our partners use cookies:

• Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can change your browser settings to decline cookies by consulting your browser’s support articles. If you decide to decline cookies, please note that you may not be able to sign in, customize, or use some interactive features in the Services.

• Flash cookies operate differently than browser cookies, so your browser’s cookie management tools may not remove them. To learn more about how to manage Flash cookies, see Adobe’s article on managing flash cookies and Website Storage Settings panel.

• To get information and control cookies used for tailored advertising from participating companies, see the consumer opt-out pages for the Network Advertising Initiative and Digital Advertising Alliance, or if you’re located in the European Union, visit the Your Online Choices site. To opt-out of Google Analytics’ display advertising or customize Google Display Network ads, visit the Google Ads Settings page.

• For general information about targeting cookies and how to disable them, visit www.allaboutcookies.org.
