This Cookie Policy explains how Seald Healthcare, Inc. ("Seald Healthcare," "we," "our," or "us") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website at sealdhealthcare.com. By continuing to use our website, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy, unless you have adjusted your browser or cookie settings to refuse them.
This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides additional context on how we handle personal information more broadly.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give website operators information about how their site is used.
Cookies can be "session cookies," which expire when you close your browser, or "persistent cookies," which remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them. They can also be classified as "first-party cookies" (set directly by us) or "third-party cookies" (set by a service operating on our behalf or for their own purposes).
In addition to traditional cookies, we may also use similar technologies such as web beacons (also called pixel tags), local storage objects, and session tokens that serve comparable functions. References to "cookies" in this policy include all such technologies unless otherwise noted.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function correctly. They enable core features such as page navigation, secure form submission, and session management. Without these cookies, certain parts of our website will not function as intended. Because these cookies are strictly necessary, they cannot be disabled.
Examples include:
- Session identifier cookies that maintain your visit state
- Security cookies that help detect and prevent fraudulent activity
- Cookies that remember your cookie consent preferences
Analytics and Performance Cookies
These cookies collect anonymized or aggregated information about how visitors use our website. The data helps us understand which pages are most popular, how visitors navigate through the site, and where errors occur so we can improve the experience. The information collected does not identify you personally.
Examples include:
- Page view and session duration data collected through analytics platforms
- Bounce rate and traffic source data used to evaluate marketing effectiveness
- Error tracking data used to diagnose technical issues
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow the website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, personalized features. For example, they may remember your language or region preference, or whether you have previously dismissed a notification. These cookies are not strictly necessary but improve your experience on the site.
Marketing and Targeting Cookies
We may use marketing cookies to track visitors across our website and other digital properties in order to deliver advertising that is more relevant to your interests, to limit how many times you see an advertisement, and to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. These cookies are set by our advertising partners and involve sharing information with those partners.
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or another jurisdiction that requires consent for marketing cookies, we will obtain your consent before placing them.
3. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our site are set by third-party services that appear on our pages. These third parties may include analytics providers, advertising networks, and embedded content providers. We do not control these third-party cookies, and their use is governed by the privacy and cookie policies of the respective third parties.
Third-party services we may use include, but are not limited to:
- Analytics platforms (such as Google Analytics) that help us understand website traffic and user behavior
- CRM and marketing automation tools that help us manage leads and customer communications
- Advertising and retargeting platforms that may display Seald Healthcare advertisements on other websites you visit
- Chat and support tools that enable real-time communication on our website
We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services for more information about their use of cookies and your options for limiting tracking.
4. How Long Do Cookies Last?
The duration of cookies varies depending on their type and purpose:
- Session cookies expire when you close your browser or end your session.
- Persistent cookies remain on your device until they expire or you delete them. Persistence periods range from a few days (for certain analytics cookies) to up to two years (for some preference and marketing cookies).
The specific expiration period for each cookie depends on the service that sets it. Where possible, we configure cookies to use the shortest retention period consistent with their purpose.
5. Managing and Disabling Cookies
Browser Settings
Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically configure your browser to:
- Block all cookies
- Block third-party cookies only
- Delete existing cookies
- Receive a notification before a cookie is placed

Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of our website and your ability to use certain features.
Opt-Out Tools
For analytics and advertising cookies set by third parties, you may be able to opt out using industry tools such as:
- Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on
- NAI Opt-Out Tool (Network Advertising Initiative)
- DAA Opt-Out Tool (Digital Advertising Alliance)
Do Not Track
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. At this time, our website does not respond to DNT signals because there is no consistent industry standard for their interpretation. We will reassess this position as standards evolve.
6. Cookies and Healthcare Data
Seald Healthcare does not use cookies to collect, store, or transmit protected health information (PHI). Our marketing website is separate from our customer-facing platform environments, and no PHI is processed through our public-facing website cookies. If you are a healthcare organization using our platform under a Business Associate Agreement, the cookie and tracking practices within the platform environment are governed by your agreement with us, not this policy.
7. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, applicable law, or our business practices. When we make changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Your continued use of our website after any update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
