Types of tracking technologies

Cookies

Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your device’s hard drive through your Web browser (if you allow it) that enables the site or service provider’s systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information. We use cookies to compile aggregate data about site and application traffic and interaction so that we can offer better experience and tools in the future. We use both persistent cookies and session cookies. Session cookies are temporary cookies stored on your device while you visit our site, and they expire at the end of a browser session (normally when a user exits their browser). Persistent cookies have a longer lifespan – they expire on a set expiration date, or when they are deleted manually. We may contract with third-party service providers to assist us in better understanding our site visitors. These service providers are not permitted to use the information collected on our behalf except to help us conduct and improve our business.

Pixels

A pixel is a one-pixel transparent image embedded on a website or message typically used to track whether that website or message was accessed or opened. Upon firing, a pixel logs a visit to the current page or message and may read or set cookies. We use pixels to learn more about your interactions with our email or web content, such as whether you interacted with our ads.

Tracking URL

Tracking URLs are custom generated links that help us understand where the traffic to our website comes from.

Scripts

A tracking script is a piece of code that is embedded into our website and allows us to measure how you interact with our site and other sites.

They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the website. If you do not allow these cookies we will not know when you have visited our website, and will not be able to monitor its performance. There is no way to prevent these cookies being set other than to not use our website.

Targeting/Advertising Cookies
Cookies are widely used in online advertising. You can learn more about online advertising here. You can opt-out of almost all advertising cookies used by Orion Health here, although opting out will not mean you won’t see adverts, they just won’t be tailored to you any longer if we do choose to advertise to you.

We also use Google Analytics, which includes advertising features allowing us to show you ads based on Google’s profile of you, show remarketing ads based on your viewing behaviour on our website, as well as receive reporting on how many times these ads have been shown. We may use these features to show special offers to you, or suggest other relevant content to encourage you to come back to our website. Don’t worry, we are unable to proactively reach out to you directly (as the whole process is anonymised) by email or other means unless you provide us with your contact details. You can learn more about the cookies used by Google here, as well as view the available options for opting out here.

Cookies in emails
