COOKIE NOTICE

Where permitted by law, non-personally identifiable information and data may be automatically collected through the standard operation of Informed Medical Decisions, Inc.’s Internet service or through the use of “cookies” or “internet tags” and other similar techniques. We use technologies such as local storage and cookies to store an access token on your browser which enables us to recognize you and your preferences the next time that you log in. We do this specifically to (i) ensure the website functions properly; (ii) track you within the website; (iii) enhance user experience; (iv) conduct analytics to improve the website; (v) prevent fraudulent use of the website; and (vi) diagnose and repair technical errors within the website and, in cases of abuse, track and mitigate the abuse. Informed Medical Decisions, Inc. uses three types of cookies:

Essential Cookies. These are placed on your computer to let our website function as intended, by allowing the pages to display correctly. Without these, our website would be prevented from working and would be unusable.
Preferences & Functionality Cookies: These cookies allow our website to remember how our site behaves or looks based on your preferences (e.g., your preferred language or the region you are in). These cookies can also assist you in changing text size, font, and allow you to personalize the pages based on your preferences. These cookies help enhance your experience and disabling these cookies may make our website less functional; disabling these cookies, however, should not prevent our website from working.
Third-Party Analytics Cookies: The only third-party cookies we use are analytics cookies. The use of analytics cookies allows us to improve the website and enhance user experience. The analytics cookies set on your browser allow us to recognize and count the number of users to the website, see when users are using the website, and see how users interact with the website and its different functions. Analytics cookies show us which of the website pages are most frequently viewed and help us record any difficulties you have with the website. We use Google Analytics and FullStory, with restricted data processing enabled, to collect information on your use of the Website to improve our website. Because we have enabled restricted data processing for Google Analytics, the use of this information for analytics purposes is not considered a sale under the California Consumer Privacy Act. Google Analytics may also receive information about you from applications you have downloaded that partner with Google. We do not combine the information collected through Google Analytics with personally identifiable information. Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to our website or to another application that partners with Google is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Service, “How Google Use Your Information from Sites” and the Google Privacy Policy. To prevent your data from being used by Google Analytics, you can download the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on here.

How to restrict cookies: You may restrict or block web browser cookies on your device, through your browser settings (usually found under “privacy” or “ads”). Alternatively, you may wish to visit www.aboutcookies.org, which contains comprehensive information on how to do this on a wide variety of desktop browsers.

Do Not Track Disclosure: Some internet browsers allow you to limit or disable the use of tracking technologies that collect this data. We currently do not support Do Not Track signals.
