Electronic Communications Protocols and Cookies: In addition to the information specified above, swyMed may collect information about your use of the swyMed.com Web sites through electronic communications protocols and cookies. As is true when you visit most Web sites, swyMed may automatically receive information from you as part of the communication connection itself, which often consists of network routing information (where you came from), equipment information (browser type), and date and time. swyMed also uses cookies, embedded URLs and embedded pixels to capture additional information.
Cookies: swyMed’s server will query your browser to see if there are “cookies” previously set by the swyMed Web sites. A cookie is a small piece of information sent by a Web server to store on a Web browser so it can later be read back from that browser. Cookies on the Web sites may collect a unique identifier, user preferences and profile information and membership information. swyMed also uses cookies to collect general usage and volume statistical information that does not include personally identifiable information. Some cookies may remain on the user’s computer after they leave the Web site, and the majority are set to expire within 30 – 365 days. While we do not offer an opt-out for cookies, browsers provide you information and control over cookies. You can set your browser to alert you when a cookie is being used, and accept or reject the cookie. You can also set your browser to refuse all cookies or accept only cookies returned to the originating servers. Users can generally disable the cookie feature on their browser without affecting their ability to use the site, except in some cases where cookies are used as an essential security feature necessary for transaction completion.
