This Cookie Policy (hereinafter referred to as “the Policy”) explains how this greathealthidea.com website (hereinafter referred to as “the Website”) and its cooperating ad networks use cookies and similar tracking technologies when Users (hereinafter referred to as “Users”) access and use the Website. By accessing and using the Website, Users acknowledge that they have read, understood, and agreed to the use of cookies in accordance with this Policy. This Policy is an integral part of the Website’s Disclaimer and Privacy Statement.
1. What are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on Users’ devices (computers, mobile phones, tablets, etc.) when they access a website. Cookies help websites recognize Users’ devices, remember Users’ preferences and usage habits, and improve the overall user experience. Cookies can be divided into two categories based on their validity period: session cookies and persistent cookies. Session cookies are automatically deleted when Users close their browsers, while persistent cookies remain stored on Users’ devices for a specified period (as set by the cookie configuration) to maintain user preferences across multiple visits.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
We classify the cookies used on the Website into three types based on their purposes, all of which comply with relevant laws and regulations and the cooperation requirements of ad networks:
2.1 Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the normal operation of the Website and the provision of basic services. They support core functions such as page navigation, account login (if applicable), data security verification, and smooth loading of health information content. Without these cookies, the Website cannot operate normally, and Users may not be able to access or use key functions (e.g., browsing health articles, submitting consultation inquiries). We do not require separate consent for necessary cookies as they are indispensable for basic service delivery.
2.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies
These cookies are used to collect non-personal information about Users’ usage of the Website, including but not limited to pages visited, time spent on each page, access frequency, device type, browser version, and error information encountered during use. The Website and its operators use this data to analyze the Website’s operational performance, identify potential technical issues, optimize page layout and content presentation, and enhance the overall user experience. These cookies do not collect personal information that can identify individual Users independently and are only used for service improvement purposes.
2.3 Advertising and Targeting Cookies
These cookies are jointly used by the Website and its cooperating ad networks. They collect information about Users’ interests and preferences based on the pages visited and content browsed by Users (e.g., health topics concerned, articles read). The purpose of these cookies is to deliver targeted advertisements that are more in line with Users’ needs, avoid displaying irrelevant advertisements, and improve the relevance and effectiveness of advertising. They also help track advertising effects (e.g., click-through rate, conversion rate) to optimize advertising campaigns. These cookies do not collect personal information that can identify individual Users without explicit consent.
3. How We Use Cookies
The Website and its cooperating ad networks use cookies in strict accordance with the following purposes, and will not use cookies for any purposes not specified in this Policy without Users’ consent:
- To ensure the normal operation of the Website: Through necessary cookies, we guarantee that Users can smoothly browse, navigate, and use all core functions of the health website.
- To optimize the user experience: By analyzing data collected through performance and analytics cookies, we understand Users’ usage habits, improve the Website’s loading speed, adjust content layout, and provide more user-friendly health information services.
- To deliver targeted advertisements: In cooperation with ad networks, we use advertising and targeting cookies to deliver personalized advertisements related to health products, services, or information that match Users’ interests, helping Users quickly obtain valuable information while ensuring the operational sustainability of the Website through reasonable advertising revenue.
4. Users’ Rights to Manage Cookies
Users have the right to manage, block, or delete cookies used by the Website in accordance with their own needs, and we respect Users’ right to make independent choices. The specific operation methods are as follows:
4.1 Adjust Browser Settings
Users can adjust the cookie settings in their browsers (such as Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, etc.) to enable, disable, or delete cookies. The specific operation steps may vary slightly depending on the browser type and version. Users can refer to the help documentation of their respective browsers to learn detailed settings (e.g., in Chrome, you can set it through “Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data”).
4.2 Block Third-Party Cookies
Users can set their browsers to block third-party cookies (i.e., cookies from the Website’s cooperating ad networks, partners, etc.) while retaining first-party cookies (i.e., cookies directly set by the Website). Blocking third-party cookies will not affect the normal use of the Website’s basic functions, but may result in the display of non-targeted advertisements instead of personalized ones.
4.3 Withdraw Consent
If Users have previously agreed to the use of non-necessary cookies (i.e., performance and analytics cookies, advertising and targeting cookies), they can withdraw their consent at any time. The withdrawal of consent can be completed by adjusting browser settings or contacting the Website’s customer service. It should be noted that the withdrawal of consent will not affect the legality and validity of the Website’s use of cookies based on prior consent before the withdrawal.
Important Note: If Users disable necessary cookies, some core functions of the Website (such as account login, normal browsing of health articles, etc.) may not work properly, which may affect the normal access and use of the Website. We recommend that Users retain necessary cookies to ensure a good user experience.
