SiteRx Cookie Policy

This Policy (the “Cookie Policy”) explains SiteRx’s use of cookies and other tracking technologies on our websites, as well as your choices with respect to our use of such technololgies. We generally refer to cookies, web beacons, pixels and other tracking technologies collectively as “cookies.” We use these technologies to better understand, customize and improve user experience with our websites, as well as to manage various marketing, advertising, and other programs.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your browser or device by websites, apps, online media, and advertisements. They are downloaded to your device as you browse the web and visit websites, or otherwise interact with digital content. Cookies are used to remember your browser or device during and across website visits and any number of other reasons such as authenticating users, remembering user preferences and settings, determining the popularity of content, delivering and measuring the effectiveness of advertising campaigns, analyzing website traffic and trends, and generally understanding the online behaviors and interests of people who interact with our websites. 

There are a few different types of cookie classifications. First, cookies are classified based upon the party installing the cookies. Cookies may be installed directly by the website visited by the user (“first party cookies”), or they may be installed by other websites (“third party cookies”). Second, cookies are classified based upon their duration. “Persistent cookies” are cookies that are permanently stored on the user’s device until a predetermined expiry date (minutes, days, years), whereas “session cookies” are cookies that are automatically deleted when closing the browser.

Third, cookies are classified based upon their purpose as either “necessary” (also known as essential) or “nonessential.” Necessary cookies are necessary for a website’s basic operations, whereas nonessential cookies are not necessary for a website’s basic operations. Nonessential cookies include four subcategories: (1) preference or functional cookies; (2) statistical, performance, or analytical cookies; (3) marketing cookies (also known as tracking or targeting cookies); and (4) social media-related cookies. 

SiteRx uses the following cookie types on its websites:
