If you use our Ovid library databases for Medline, ejournals, or ebooks, you'll be seeing pop-ups for a new internet browser cookie consent policy starting November 16. [Read the full notice below ...]
The consent banner asks users to select their cookie preference, and to either "Accept All Cookies" or "Reject All Cookies."
Your AW Librarians recommend that you "accept all cookies" when searching or working with our library databases. Expect to see more of these cookie consents with other library resources.
Why: These internet cookies offer added functionality within the databases, such as remembering your browsing history or other value-added features. If you reject the cookies, some important and useful things might disappear, or get blocked, and you'll wonder why the page is broken.
Behind the scenes, these cookies also help us track generic and anonymous usage data (NOT personal data) on what journals, articles, ebooks, etc. of our library databases are getting used. This is valuable stewardship data that helps us ascertain what resources are most useful for our library users.
Worth Repeating: Cookies on the publisher websites do NOT collect or share your personal data, unless you are logged in to a personal account within the resource.
So if you want to get the most out of our AW Library databases, please "accept all cookies" when you see those banners in a library context.
That said, you may want to be selective about accepting cookies from non-library sources, who may not be as considerate of your privacy or personal information.
Thank you for your consideration.

New Cookie Consent BannerDear Ovid Customer: As we informed you earlier this year, in June we implemented a new cookie consent management tool in some areas of Ovid (along with all Wolters Kluwer marketing and product sites).
On November 16, a new banner will display across all other areas of Ovid. Users will see a message prompting them to set their cookie preferences.
How will this work?- If a user selects “Accept All Cookies”, their experience will remain unchanged from how it is today.
- If a user selects “Reject All Cookies” or doesn’t make a selection, they’ll lose functions such as the ability to see their history or some features that may be relevant to them.
- Each visitor’s selections will be retained for a period of one year, after which time they’ll be asked to re-verify their selections.
- When users don't allow cookies, Wolters Kluwer won't have complete statistics on membership usage data to share.
If you have any questions, your local Ovid representative will be glad to help. Feel free to reach out to your account representative or contact the team at support@ovid.com. Regards,
Wolters Kluwer - Ovid
