Your privacy and browsing preferences matter to us
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used across the internet to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better browsing experience, and supply useful information to site owners.
Cookies can be "persistent" (remaining on your device until they expire or you delete them) or "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser). They can be set by the website you're visiting ("first-party cookies") or by third-party services operating on that website ("third-party cookies").
2. Types of Cookies We Use
We use the following categories of cookies on our platform. Each serves a specific purpose to enhance your experience and ensure the security of your data.
Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies
Always ActiveThese cookies are essential for the basic functionality of our website. They enable core features such as secure login sessions, patient authentication, CSRF protection, and session management. Without these cookies, services like your patient dashboard, appointment booking, and certificate downloads cannot function. These cookies do not collect personal data for marketing purposes.
Analytics & Performance Cookies
OptionalThese cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting aggregated, anonymous data. We use this information to analyze traffic patterns, identify popular pages, measure the effectiveness of our content, and improve our website performance. This data includes page views, bounce rates, and referral sources. We may use services like Google Analytics for this purpose.
Functionality & Preference Cookies

Examples include your preferred language, dark/light theme selection, notification preferences, and previously viewed content. Disabling these cookies will not prevent you from using the site, but some features may not remember your preferences between visits.
Third-Party Cookies
OptionalSome third-party services we integrate may set their own cookies. These include payment processors (for secure transactions), real-time notification services (Pusher), and authentication providers. We carefully vet all third-party services to ensure they meet our privacy and security standards. We do not allow third-party advertising cookies on our platform.
3. Cookie Duration
The duration a cookie remains on your device depends on its type:
Session Cookies

4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have full control over your cookie preferences. Here are the ways you can manage cookies:
- Browser Settings: Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through their settings. Check your browser's help section for instructions on managing cookies in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge.
