Our Cookie Policy
CHANGE EFFECTIVE DATE: MARCH 21, 2021
Kentuckiana Medicine (“KIM,” “us,” “we,” or “our”) uses cookies on www.kentuckianamedicine.com its subdomains, and their associated web pages (the “Site”). By using the Site, you consent to our use of cookies as set forth in this policy. Our Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, how third-parties we may partner with may use cookies on the Site, your choices regarding cookies, and how you can manage them. Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have opt-out or opt-in options for cookies on your device.
What are cookies?
A “cookie” is a small piece of information stored on your device when you visit a website. The cookie means that the Site will remember you and how you’ve used the Site every time you come back. A cookie can be a “persistent” or “session” cookie. A “persistent” cookie will remain for a period of time set for that cookie or until you delete the cookie, depending on your browser settings. A “session-based” cookie is allocated only for the duration of your visit to our website and automatically expires or erases when you close down your browser. First-party cookies originate from the same domain as the website you’re currently visiting (in this case, www.kentuckianamedicine.com). Third-party cookies originate from a domain that’s different from the website being visited. For example, when you visit our website, we may link to another company’s website, like Facebook or YouTube. We don’t control how these third parties use their cookies, so we suggest you check their website to see how they’re using them and how you can manage them.
If you want to know more about cookies generally, head to aboutcookies.org or allaboutcookies.org
Please note: these links are not operated by us, and may open a new window or browser tab.
How we use cookies
We use cookies to do several things. For example, cookies are used to enable certain functions of the Site, enhance security, improve functionality of the Site, remember your preferences, or count the number of people looking at a website. We also use them to keep track of what you’ve done on the Site, and they may be used by third parties to make online advertising more relevant to you.
We receive data from you as part of the communication connection itself through the standard electronic greeting between your computer and our servers. This information often consists of network routing (where you came from), equipment information (browser type), Internet protocol address, date, and time. Other parts of the Site use cookies (including signup forms) to collect information about your use of the site and to facilitate return visits. Cookies on the Site may collect the following information: a unique identifier, user preferences, and profile information used to personalize the content that is shown.
Cookies themselves don’t hold personally identifiable information (“PII”). They only have a unique alphanumeric identifier that sits on your browser. And in many cases, we won’t be able to link the information we collect by using a cookie back to you. They can, however, enable us to link that information back to you and your personal information, for example, when you log in or choose to register for a service, white paper, or newsletter.
We may also engage third parties (for example, Google Analytics) to track and analyze non-personally and personally identifiable website data and for those third parties to provide advertisements. To do so, we may permit third parties to place cookies on devices of users of our Site, where permitted by law, and subject to your right to opt-out through the Site. We use the data collected to help us administer and improve the quality of the Site and to analyze Site usage. Such third parties may combine the information that we provide about you with other information that they have collected. These third parties are required to use your information in accordance with this Cookie Policy and the Privacy Policy and Notice. We will record all such disclosures and will use reasonable efforts to ensure that such third parties do not use your PII for any purpose that is not expressly provided for herein.
We’ve put our cookies into the following categories or “types,” to make it easier for you to understand why we need them:
- Strictly necessary – these are used to help make our Site work efficiently.
- Performance – these are used to analyze the way our Site works and how we can improve it.
- Functionality – these help to enhance your experience by doing things like remembering if you have created an account or donated to us before.
- Advertisement – these are used to share some information with third parties who we advertise with, so we know how you’ve reached our Site. We can also use cookies to identify the parts of the Site that you are interested in. We then use this information to show you advertisements and pages we think may also be of interest to you, to tailor how we communicate with you, or to tailor the contents of the communications we send to you. If you prefer, you can opt-out of these. Tailoring of content means it includes information reflecting the interest you’ve shown in the content of our web pages or offers or promotions that we think may interest you, and to improve how we respond to your needs.
In addition to the cookies we use on our Site, we also use cookies and similar technologies in some emails and notifications we send to you. These help us to understand whether you have opened the email and how you have interacted with it. If you have enabled images, cookies may be set on your computer or mobile device. Cookies will also be set if you click on any link within the email.

Response to “Do Not Track” Signals
Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a web browser setting that requests that a web application disable its tracking of an individual user. When you choose to turn on the DNT setting in your browser, your browser sends a special signal to websites, analytics companies, ad networks, plug-in providers, and other web services you encounter while browsing to stop tracking your activity. However, because there currently is no industry standard concerning what, if anything, websites should do when they receive such signals, we currently do not take action in response to these signals.
