Advertising cookies can track your activity across the web, not just on Headspace, and in the context of a mental health platform, the data derived from your usage patterns may infer sensitive information about your mental health that is then shared with advertising networks.
Cookies used for advertising on Headspace may track your browsing behavior beyond the Headspace platform and share that data with advertising partners, which may include behavioral signals that reveal or infer mental health status; you can manage cookie preferences through the OneTrust consent management tool deployed on the Headspace website.
