What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit our website. These files contain information that helps us provide you with a better and more personalized experience. Cookies are widely used across the internet and are an essential part of how modern websites function.

At SilverStudio, we understand that many of our users may be unfamiliar with cookies and online tracking technologies. We want to be completely transparent about how we use these tools to enhance your experience while respecting your privacy and giving you control over your personal information.

How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for several important purposes that help us provide better service to you. These include remembering your preferences and settings so you don't have to re-enter them each time you visit our website, understanding how you navigate our site so we can improve the user experience, and ensuring that our website functions properly across different devices and browsers.

We also use cookies to analyze website traffic and usage patterns, which helps us identify areas for improvement and develop new features that better serve our community. Additionally, cookies help us provide personalized content and recommendations based on your interests and previous interactions with our wellness resources.

Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are necessary for our website to function properly. These cookies enable core functionality such as page navigation, access to secure areas of the website, and basic interactive features. Without these cookies, we cannot provide many of the services you request. Essential cookies do not require your consent as they are strictly necessary for the operation of our website.

Performance and Analytics Cookies

Performance cookies help us understand how visitors use our website by collecting information about page visits, time spent on different sections, and any error messages encountered. This information is aggregated and anonymous, meaning we cannot identify individual users. We use this data to improve website performance and user experience.

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow us to remember your preferences and provide enhanced features. For example, these cookies can remember your language preference, font size settings, or other accessibility options you've selected. They help us personalize your experience and make our website more user-friendly, especially for mature users who may have specific accessibility needs.

Preference Cookies

Preference cookies remember information that changes the way our website behaves or looks based on your choices. This might include your preferred wellness topics, program interests, or display preferences. These cookies help us provide a more tailored experience that aligns with your wellness goals and interests.

Third-Party Cookies

In some cases, we may use third-party services that place their own cookies on your device. These might include analytics services that help us understand website usage, social media plugins, or embedded content from other platforms. We carefully select third-party partners who share our commitment to privacy and data protection.

We do not have control over third-party cookies, and their use is subject to the privacy policies of those third-party providers. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you interact with through our website.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have several options for managing cookies on our website. When you first visit our site, you'll see a cookie notice that allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can change your cookie preferences at any time using the cookie settings option available on our website.

Most web browsers also allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically set your browser to refuse all cookies, accept only certain types of cookies, or notify you when a cookie is being set. However, please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of our website and limit your access to some features.

If you need assistance with managing your cookie settings, either on our website or in your browser, please contact us. We're happy to help you configure your preferences in a way that works best for you while still allowing you to enjoy our wellness services and resources.

Cookie Retention

Different types of cookies are stored for different lengths of time. Session cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a longer period, typically until they expire or until you delete them manually.

We regularly review and update our cookie retention periods to ensure we're only keeping cookies for as long as necessary. Most of our cookies are set to expire within one year, though some functional cookies that remember your preferences may be retained longer to provide a consistent experience across visits.
