5. User Journey Tracking
One important way we use analytics cookies is to understand how users navigate from educational content to finding practitioners. For example, we track:
- Which health condition articles lead users to search for specific practitioner types
- How users move from learning about "lower back pain" to finding chiropractors or acupuncturists
- Which therapy type articles result in practitioner searches
- Popular navigation paths through our Learn Hub
This information helps us improve our content and better serve users seeking wellness practitioners for their specific needs. All data is collected in aggregate and we do not track individual users in a way that identifies them personally.
