(Last Modified October 5, 2021)

We at Shift Dialysis LLC (“Shift Dialysis”), have created this Cookie Policy to explain what cookies are, why we use them, and how you can manage their use in connection with the Shift Dialysis services and products licensed, downloaded, or otherwise accessed by you (“Services”).

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small, sometimes encrypted, text files. They are created when a user's browser loads a website. The website sends information to the browser, which then creates a text file. Every time the user goes back to the same website, the browser retrieves and sends this file to the website's server. Cookies are created not just by the website the user is browsing, but also by other websites that run ads, widgets, or other elements on the page being loaded. For further information about cookies, visit allaboutcookies.org.

What Kinds of Cookies Do We Use?

Some of the cookies we use are essential to the operation of our Services. Others are not essential but help to improve your experiences and our Services.

Essential cookies

We use a number of cookies that are necessary for the operation of our Services and to allow us to provide the Services you have specifically requested. For example, these types of cookies allow us to identify account holders and ensure that account holders can access any areas of our website that require an account. These types of cookies also provide security for your visit to our website and help ensure that pages you request load quickly. Without essential cookies, we cannot provide Services to you. Your consent is not required for us to use the cookies because we use them only for the purpose of providing you with the Services you request.

Performance Cookies

We use cookies to collect information about how people use our website. For example, we collect information about how you access our website and if you get error messages when using it. These performance cookies do not collect information that identifies you as an individual. All of the information they collect is aggregated and anonymous, except that if you have an account with us, the information collected by us using performance cookies may be associated with your account. This information is only used to improve how our website operates. The coding language our website is written in uses session cookies, which are deleted each time you close your browser. These cookies do not store any information about you or your visit after you close your browser.

We use these cookies so that you don't have to reset your preferences every time you visit our website. We also use functionality cookies to enable you to comment in chat rooms and to provide enhanced services (for example, allowing you to watch a video).

How can I disable cookies?

Disabling cookies will affect the functionality of this and many other websites that you visit. We recommend that you leave on all cookies if you’re not sure whether you need them.

What are beacons, Pixel Tags, and Clear Gifs?

These are all terms for similar technology that often works in the same way. These small strings of software code track events such as when a user visits a page or opens an email. They are used by Shift Dialysis to measure the effectiveness of our email campaigns, deliver more relevant content, and manage advertising for our Services. In many instances, beacons, pixel tags, and clear gifs work in conjunction with cookies to function properly, so declining cookies will impair their functioning.
