Cookie and Tracking Notice

Cookie & Tracking Notice

What we track, and why.

The cookies and similar technologies we use, what they do, and the choices you have over them.

1. What This Notice Covers

This Cookie and Tracking Notice explains how Polst and our service providers use cookies and similar technologies on our website and dashboard, what they do, and the choices you have. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

2. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. We also use similar technologies such as local storage, pixels, and software development kits provided by analytics tools. Together, these help the site function, remember your preferences, and understand how the product is used.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

Strictly Necessary: Required for the site to function, including maintaining your session, securing your account, and enabling access-controlled areas. These cannot be turned off through our site.

Analytics and Product Experience: Help us understand how visitors use Polst so we can improve it. These are described in more detail below and are not strictly necessary for the site to work.

Preferences: Remember choices you make, such as display settings, to provide a more consistent experience.

4. Analytics and Product-Experience Tools

We use third-party analytics and product-experience tools to understand how our website and dashboard are used so we can improve them. These tools help us measure aggregate traffic and performance, such as page views and load times, and understand how people interact with our pages.

Some of these tools may capture aggregated interaction data, such as clicks, scrolling, and general usage patterns. We aim to configure them so they do not capture information you type into form fields. These providers may set their own cookies and process data on our behalf as our service providers, subject to their own privacy terms.

5. Your Choices

Browser Controls: Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may cause parts of the site to stop working.

Analytics Tracking: Where our analytics and product-experience tools offer an opt-out or honor browser signals such as 'Do Not Track,' you can use those options to limit the associated tracking.

Marketing and Communications: You can opt out of non-essential communications at any time as described in our Privacy Policy.

6. Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a 'Do Not Track' signal. Where our analytics providers honor this signal, enabling it will limit the associated tracking. Because there is no common industry standard for Do Not Track, other parts of the site may not respond to it.

7. Changes to This Notice

We may update this notice as our tools and practices evolve. Material changes will be reflected here with an updated date, and where appropriate, communicated through our website.
