Non-personally identifiable information and the use of cookie technology
We collect non-personally identifiable information through the use of “cookie” technology and/or IP address tracking. Non-personally identifiable information might include the browser you use, the type of computer, smartphone, or other device you are using, your operating system, your Internet service provider, and other similar information. Your member ID number or profile information is not stored in cookies.
We use such information in the aggregate to understand how our users, as a group, use the services and resources provided on our site. When we say we use the information in the aggregate, that means that information from a group of individuals has been compiled and processed so that no one individual’s information can be isolated. We study aggregate information to learn which areas of medicare.chpw.org are most popular, which areas need improvement, and what technologies are being used so that we may improve medicare.chpw.org.
Most Web browsers are set to accept cookies. You can set your browser to refuse cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. If you do so, please note that some features of medicare.chpw.org may not function properly.
What kind of care do you need? Not every medical issue needs emergency care. If you have a medical issue that doesn’t seem to be life-threatening, but you’re not sure what to do, see if your local Community Health Center clinic or primary care doctor offers virtual care. If they do, they will tell you how to set up your virtual care appointment.
