User Activity Monitoring
When you access and use the Services, we automatically collect from your browser or mobile device your IP address, browser information, preferences and settings, cookies and information about the content you view and the actions you take, such as search queries, ad interaction, clicks, associated dates and times, and store them in server registration information.
When you use HyperbaricMed and its mobile optimized version, we may collect device-specific information, including your device model, operating system information, and website usage. When enabled by you, we collect precise location information provided by your mobile device, which you can disable in device settings. We do this to provide you with more relevant content, including ads based on your location. You can disable the collection and use of your location data in your device settings. To change the location settings on your device, please refer to your device’s official usage information.
Cookies
HyperbaricMed uses cookies to collect information about your use of the Services. “Cookies” are small data files stored on the hard drive of the computer or mobile device you use to view a website. “Cookies” are assigned to your browser when you visit HyperbaricMed, enable your browser to be recognized, collect and store information about your use of the Services. Information collected by such information collection technologies may be combined with other information that HyperbaricMed has access to, including your name, e-mail address, and physical address, so that we can send you materials of interest to you electronically or by direct mail.
Some cookies in HyperbaricMed are strictly necessary to identify registered members and allow us to access content that only registered members can access, for HyperbaricMed to work and to access some areas of it. Some cookies allow us to remember your preferences, such as your username, language or the region you are in, and provide enhanced, more personalized features. These cookies can also be used to provide services you have requested, such as watching videos. Another set of cookies allows us to analyze how visitors use HyperbaricMed and monitor website performance.
Advertising cookies, on the other hand, are used by HyperbaricMed and our advertisers to provide ads that are more relevant to your interests, based on your content browsing activity on HyperbaricMed and in some cases other information about you. Although we allow these third-party cookies, which are usually advertising cookies, to be used on the assumption that they comply with the HyperbaricMed Advertising Policy, we do not control how third parties use cookies or manage the information they collect through these cookies, and we may not be able to verify compliance with the HyperbaricMed Advertising Policy.
Because your browser or device communicates with the servers of these third parties, these third parties may collect information, including your IP address, page header information, browser or device information, just as you requested their websites or used their applications directly. Most of these third parties provide information about their data collection practices and, in some cases, offer the option to disable cookies on their respective websites. For a better understanding of the controls available to you, please review the relevant third party’s privacy policy.
Our use of cookies and other information gathering technologies in the mobile optimized version of HyperbaricMed is similar to our use in the desktop version. Your preferences to refuse, disable cookies and use them are available in the mobile optimized version.
Most browser software can be set to refuse cookies. Most browsers provide instructions on how to reset the browser to refuse cookies in the “Preferences”, “Settings” or “Help” section of your browser’s toolbar.
If you refuse our cookies, some of the functions and facilities of HyperbaricMed may not work properly, but you do not have to accept our cookies to use most features of HyperbaricMed effectively.
When using HyperbaricMed, before cookies are placed on your computer or device, a banner will be displayed asking you to accept or decline the setting of cookies. By accepting the placement of cookies, you are ensuring that we provide you with the best possible experience and service. If you wish, you can refuse the setting of cookies, unless these cookies are strictly necessary.
HyperbaricMed reserves the right to make any changes to the Privacy Policy regarding cookies at any time, and any changes will be effective upon publishing, unless we advise otherwise. We recommend that you periodically review the “Cookies” section of this Privacy Policy for the latest information on the use of cookies in HyperbaricMed.
Interest-Based Advertising Opt-Out
Some third parties that serve ads allow you to prevent their data collection using cookies. To do this, you must disable this type of data collection in HyperbaricMed.
However, please note that even if you disable interest-based advertising, you will continue to receive generic advertising through the Services. Please note that your choice to stop private advertising is specific to the browser or mobile device you are using.
You can control interest-based advertising on your mobile device by activating the relevant setting of your device. This will not prevent you from seeing ads, but will limit the use of device ad identifiers to personalize ads based on your interests. If you have questions about how to refuse cookies on your specific device, please consult the device manufacturer.
