How to set up the HIPAA widget type

Steps to take to configure the HIPAA widget type for a jurisdiction

If your business operates in the healthcare space and your website processes users' personal health information (PHI), it is critical that your website adheres to HIPAA's requirements for the safety of your website visitors and your business. Clym's widget allows you to collect not only cookie consent but also HIPAA consent directly within your existing Clym widget configuration, maintaining transparent communication with your website visitors on how their data is being used.

Editing your widget display mode is an easy 3-step process:

If you choose to have your default initial notification type set to a custom selection, please remember that this will overwrite the standard settings for all jurisdictions. This includes any jurisdictions that have a "do not display" default widget display type setting.

 

1. Sign in to your Clym Portal

You should have received a magic link in your initial onboarding email. Please click Sign in from the email to get started. Alternatively, navigate to Clym's home page and click Sign in in the upper right-hand corner.
