Like many websites and applications, some HealthCare Alert websites or applications use a technology called "cookies". A cookie is a small text file that a web server gives your browser to store on your computer when you access a website or application. Cookies are capable of storing many types of data and may be placed on your browser by HealthCare Alert or by a third party. Cookies are used for a variety of purposes on HealthCare Alert websites or applications.

Some HealthCare Alert sites set cookies that keep you from entering a password more than once during visits to our site.

We also use cookies to help us analyze usage of our site and traffic more accurately and to provide you with information of interest to you. For example, cookies may be used on  the HealthCare Alert website or application to record the total number of hits received on the application and website.

Cookies also allow HealthCare Alert to determine whether you came to a HealthCare Alert site from another HealthCare Alert site or from an advertising banner or link on a non-HealthCare Alert site, so that we can, for example, measure the effectiveness of the links among our sites and the effectiveness of our advertising on non-HealthCare Alert sites.

Similarly, cookies allow us to determine whether you have registered on or are just visiting our website or application, which enables us to analyze how particular users use our site and whether registered and unregistered users of our website or application use our sites differently.

This may include using information about your use of our site in conjunction with personally identifiable information that you have volunteered to us on our site.

In all cases in which cookies are used, however, neither HealthCare Alert nor any third party will use the cookie to collect personally identifiable information from our site unless you voluntarily agree to enter the information.

HealthCare Alert website or application may use a third party adserving service to display advertising on other, non- HealthCare Alert sites. In addition to placing advertisements on certain non-HealthCare Alert web/App pages, these services and/or HealthCare Alert may also place a segment of code called a clear pixel tag, also known as a "GIF", on certain HealthCare Alert web/App pages that do not contain advertisements for the purpose of measuring the effectiveness of advertisements in bringing visitors to our web sites or applications. GIFs may also be used with cookies to track the total number of visitors to our website or application, the number of visitors to various web/App pages, and the domain names of our visitors' Internet service providers. No personally identifiable information is collected in this process.

As is common among Internet site operators, HealthCare Alert website and application maintains web server logs. Web servers automatically identify your computer by its IP address and collect that information in its web server logs. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer by your Internet service provider (e.g., AOL, MSN, Earthlink) whenever you log onto the World Wide Web or "surf" the web. HealthCare Alert web server logs collect statistical data that is generated by your computer when it visits HealthCare Alert website or application, such as the type of web browser (e.g., Netscape, Internet Explorer) and operating system (Windows 95 or Mac OS) used to access the site, the domain name of your Internet service provider, the date and time you access our site, and the pages you visit. HealthCare Alert website and application uses this non-personally identifying web server log information for a variety of purposes. Some of these purposes include: system administration; to examine overall traffic trends on our sites; trouble-shooting; and to gather broad demographic information about users of our sites. No personally identifiable information is contained in these web server logs.

This HealthCare Alert website and application is not intended or designed to attract users under the age of 18. We do not collect personally identifiable information from any person we know to be under the age of 18.
