Marketing cookies are used to track visitors across HCSS’s websites. The intention is to display ads that are relevant and engaging for the individual user.

HCSS uses OBA, such as Google AdWords Remarketing and other retargeting vendors, to advertise HCSS in a way that’s relevant and personalized to you. If you consent to HCSS’s use of marketing cookies, you allow HCSS to use any information you have provided to HCSS to serve a relevant ad to you. For instance, HCSS may display relevant ads tailored to you based on what parts of the HCSS website you have viewed by placing a cookie on your machine. Additionally, if you explicitly consent by submitting HCSS forms, HCSS may use that information within an ad. If you do not wish to participate in HCSS’s Google AdWords Remarketing, you can opt out by visiting Google’s Ads Preferences Manager.
