WellForm Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains when and why cookies and similar tracking technologies are used by WellForm (“WellForm,” “we,” or “us”) on our websites and the mobile-optimized versions of these sites.

Please refer to the WellForm Privacy Policy to learn more about the use of cookies and other tracking technologies on the WellForm Sites and how you can contact us for more information.


Cookies

“Cookies” are small data files that are stored on the hard drive of the computer you use to view a website. Every computer that accesses a WellForm Site is assigned a different cookie by WellForm. Different cookies serve different purposes:

  • Session cookies are specific to a particular visit and carry information as you view different pages within a WellForm Site. Session cookies expire and delete themselves automatically in a short period, e.g., when you leave the website or close your browser.
  • Persistent cookies enable us to recognize you when you visit a WellForm Site and remember your preferences. Persistent cookies are stored on your browser or mobile device until you choose to delete them or they expire.
  • Third-party cookies are placed by someone other than WellForm and may gather browsing activity across multiple websites and sessions. They are usually persistent cookies and are stored until you delete them or they expire based on the time period set in each third-party cookie.
  • “Web Beacons” are graphic image files embedded in a page of a website typically used to monitor activity on the page and send back information such as the IP address, the URL of the page, the type of browser that is accessing the site, and the ID number of any cookies previously placed by that server.

Cookies on the WellForm Sites

The cookies on the WellForm Sites are generally used for one of the following purposes:

  • Strictly necessary. These cookies are essential for the WellForm Sites to function and to access some areas of the WellForm Sites. For example, certain cookies enable us to identify registered members and ensure that they have access to content that is only available to registered members.
  • Important functionality. These cookies enable us to remember your preferences, such as your user name, language, or region, and provide enhanced, more personalized features.
  • Performance and Analytics. These cookies enable us to analyze how visitors use the WellForm Sites and to monitor website performance. We use the information collected by these cookies to improve the performance of the WellForm Sites and our Services.

Use of Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and other tracking technologies to recognize individual users when they access the Services, remember user preferences, keep track of users’ access to and use of the Services, track whether our emails are opened and whether links are clicked, ensure that the Services are functioning properly, and analyze trends. When you use the Services, we also automatically collect information from your browser or mobile device such as your IP address or unique device identifier, browser information (including referring URL), your preferences and settings, cookies, and information about the content you have viewed and actions taken (e.g., search queries, clicks, and the associated dates and times).

WellForm may also collect device-specific information when you install and use an App, including your device model, operating system information, and app version and usage information. When enabled by you, we collect precise location information provided by your mobile device, which you may disable through the device settings.


Your Choices

Most browser software can be set to reject cookies and offer instructions on how to reset the browser to reject cookies in the “Help,” “Settings,” or “Preferences” section of your browser’s toolbar. If you reject our cookies, certain functions and conveniences of our websites may not work properly, but you do not have to accept our cookies to productively use most features of our websites.

You may also control interest-based advertising on your mobile device by enabling the “Limit Ad Tracking” setting in your iOS device’s settings or “Opt out of Ads Personalization” in your Android device’s settings. This will not prevent you from seeing advertisements but will limit the use of device advertising identifiers to personalize ads based on your interests. If you have questions about how to reject cookies on your specific device, please check with the device manufacturer.

By accepting the placement of cookies, you are enabling us to provide the best possible experience and service to you. You may decline the placement of cookies unless those cookies are strictly necessary.
