6. Use of Cookies
The Website uses Cookies as a security device and to help you personalize your online experience. When you use the Website as a Blu Healthcare Participant you must use your Password to enter the Website. Our Website server will record the pages you visit within the Website. The Session Cookie is essential to enable the Website to be assured that a Blu Healthcare Participant is on-line and that it is safe to send a page containing that Blu Healthcare Participant’s Personal Data or to require a user to authenticate himself/herself as a Blu Healthcare Participant by logging-in. The security of a Session Cookie depends on the security of the Blu Healthcare Participant's internet web browser.
Another primary purpose of Cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a Cookie is to tell the Website server that you have returned to a specific page. For example if you Register with Blu Healthcare a Cookie helps us to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your Personal Data. When you return to the Website the information you previously provided can be retrieved so you can easily use the Website features that you customized previously.
You have the ability to accept or decline Cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you disable Cookies on your web browser or choose to decline Cookies you will not be able to use the Blu Healthcare Website.
6.1 Explanation of Cookies used in Blu Healthcare
The following explanation of the way Cookies operate in Blu Healthcare and the categories of Cookies used is based on guidance issued by the United Kingdom Information Commissioner’s Office2 (at the time of writing there is no comparable governmental or regulatory agency in the United States):
The Blu Healthcare Website uses three out of four possible types of Cookies. A Cookie is a small text file of letters and numbers that we put on your computer if you agree. These Cookies allow us to distinguish you from other users of Blu Healthcare, which helps us to provide you with a good experience when you browse the Blu Healthcare Website and also allows us to improve the Website. We use “analytical” Cookies: these allow us to recognize and count the number of visitors to the Website and to see how visitors move around the Website when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way the Website works, for example by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily. Read more about the individual analytical Cookies we use and how to recognize them below.
International Chamber of Commerce guidance3 on the use of Cookies distinguishes between the following types of Cookies:
- Strictly necessary Cookies: These are Cookies required for the operation of the Website. They include, for example, Cookies that enable users to log into secure areas of the Website, use a shopping cart or make use of e-billing services. Blu Healthcare uses this type of Cookie
- Analytical or performance Cookies: These types of Cookies allow Blu Healthcare to recognize and count the number of visitors to the Website and see how visitors move around the Website when they are using it. This assists Blu Healthcare in improving the way the Website works, for example by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily. Blu Healthcare uses this type of Cookie.
- Functionality Cookies: These Cookies are used to recognize users when they return to the Website. They enable the personalisation of content, the recognition of users and remember user preferences (for example, your choice of language or region). Blu Healthcare uses this type of Cookie.
- Tracking or Targeting Cookies: Blu Healthcare does not use this type of Cookie and there are no current plans to do so. These Cookies record a user's visit to a website, the individual pages visited and the links followed. If the Cookie is set by a third party (for example, an advertising network) which also monitors traffic on other websites, this type of Cookie may also be used to track a user's movements across different websites and to create profiles of their general online behaviour. Information collected by tracking Cookies is commonly used to serve users with targeted online advertising.
