Cookie Policy

Elevate Nursing LLC and its affiliate NurseCon LLC (collectively, “Elevate Nursing,” “we,” “us,” “our”), including our Service Providers, affiliates, third parties, and other partners use cookies and other identification technologies on our Sites and in providing our Services for a number of purposes, including: authenticating users, remembering user preferences and settings, determining the popularity of content, delivering and measuring the effectiveness of advertising campaigns, analyzing site traffic and trends, and generally understanding the online behaviors and interests of people who interact with our Services. 

All terms capitalized in this Cookie Notice are defined in our Privacy Policy. You can read more here about the types of cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can exercise your choices.

Cookies and related technologies overview

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your browser or device by Sitess, apps, online media, and advertisements that are used to remember your browser or device during and across Sites visits. We also utilize other technologies that may identify you or the devices you use. For example, ‘pixel tags’ (also called beacons) are small blocks of code installed on (or called by) a webpage, app, or advertisement which can retrieve certain information about your device and browser, including, for example: device type, operating system, browser type and version, Sites visited, time of visit, referring Sites, IP address, advertising identifiers, and other similar information, including the small text file (the cookie) that uniquely identifies the device.

Pixels provide the means by which third-parties can set and read browser cookies from a domain that they do not themselves operate and collect information about visitors to that domain, typically with the permission of the domain owner. ‘Local storage’ refers generally to other places on a browser or device where information can be stored by Sitess, ads, or third-parties (such as HTML5 local storage and browser cache). ‘Software Development Kits’ (also called SDKs) function like pixels and cookies but operate in the mobile app context where pixels and cookies cannot always function. The primary app developer can install pieces of code (the SDK) from partners in the app, and thereby allow the partner to collect certain information about user interaction with the app and information about the user device and network information.

How do we use cookies?

As most of the online services, our Sites use first-party and third-party cookies for a number of purposes. The first-party cookies are mostly necessary for the Sites to function the right way, and they do not collect any of your personally identifiable data.

The third-party cookies used on our Sites are used mainly for understanding how the Sites perform, how you interact with our Sites, keeping our services secure, providing advertisements that are relevant to you, and all in all providing you with a better and improved user experience and help speed up your future interactions with our Sites.

What are your choices regarding cookies?

You have the right to choose whether or not to accept cookies. However, they are an important part of how our Services work, so you should be aware that if you choose to refuse or remove cookies, this could affect the availability and functionality of the Services.

Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can usually choose to set your browser to remove or reject browser cookies. To do so, please follow the instructions provided by your browser which are usually located within the ‘Help’ or ‘Preferences’ menu. Some third parties also provide the ability to refuse their cookies directly by clicking on an opt-out link, and we have indicated where this is possible in the table below.

For further information about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set on your device and how to manage and delete them, you can visit Your Ad Choices.

For mobile users, you have controls in your device Operating System that enables you to choose whether to allow cookies or share your advertising ID with our organization or our advertising service providers. For information on controlling your mobile choices, you can visit Network Advertising.

Finally, at the end of this Cookie Notice, we provide additional instructions on How can I control the cookie preferences? 

What are the types and purposes of cookies?

The following table sets out the different categories of cookies that our Sites use and why we use them. The lists of cookie providers are intended merely as illustrative and should not be viewed as a comprehensive list.

Our Service Providers help us run our business with the use of cookies in several ways, such as:

• Authenticating and identifying you on our Sites so we can provide you the services you requested.
• Keeping track of information you have provided to us — for example, keeping items in your shopping cart as you browse www.nursecon.com
• Providing you the Sites that you use.
• Remembering your preferences or where you left off in your use of our Sites.
• Measuring your use of the Sites so that we can improve them, tailor our Sites to your likely interests, and conduct market research.
• Understanding your likely interests so we can provide you more relevant ads and content on our Sites and in non-Elevate Nursing apps.
• Running the Sites’ solutions that help our business customers personalize and improve the performance of the Sites, apps, and marketing messages.

What technologies are similar to cookies?

Technically speaking, cookies are called “HTTP cookies.” There are other technologies that can be used for similar purposes, such as HTML5 Local Storage and local shared objects (LSOs). LSOs are used by the authors of files that are read by Elevate Nursing LLC and the Sitess hosting those files. We may use HTML5 Local Storage, LSOs, and similar technologies for authenticating you, keeping track of information you have provided to us, and remembering your preferences (see bullet points above). When you are using our Sites offline, we may store information related to how you used the Sites on your device and then transfer it to our servers the next time you connect online to our Sites.

Web beacons and embedded scripts

Web beacons and embedded scripts are other technologies that we use in our Sites, as well as in some of our emails and ads.

Web beacons (or “tags”) are bits of programming code included in web pages, emails, and ads that notify Elevate Nursing LLC (or the companies that help us run our business) when those web pages, emails, or ads have been viewed or clicked on.

Embedded scripts are bits of programming code included within some of our web pages that measure how you use those web pages, such as which links you click. We use this information to improve our Sites, tailor our Sites to your likely interests, conduct market research, and for anti-fraud monitoring purposes. You may be able to turn off scripting functionality, such as JavaScript, within your browser (please refer to your browser's help function). Note that if you disable scripting functionality, some of our Sites may not function properly.

How can I control the cookie preferences?

You may click on the “Manage Cookie Consent” link to adjust your Cookie preferences. This will display the consent notice again enabling you to change your preferences or withdraw your consent entirely.

MANAGE COOKIE CONSENT

To provide the best experiences, we use technologies like cookies to store and/or access device information. Consenting to these technologies will allow us to process data such as browsing behavior or unique IDs on this site and to occasionally send you marketing communications. Not consenting or withdrawing consent may adversely affect certain features and functions.
