Cookies allow websites to recognize a device, remember user preferences, provide important website functionality, collect usage information, and improve the overall browsing experience.

Cookies placed directly by ClinMedica are commonly referred to as first-party cookies.

Cookies placed by external companies or service providers are known as third-party cookies. These cookies may support services such as analytics, advertising, embedded content, website security, or performance monitoring.

4. Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are necessary for core website functionality. They may be used to provide website security, maintain sessions, remember privacy preferences, prevent malicious activity, or deliver important website features.

Because these cookies are required for the website to operate, they generally cannot be disabled through our cookie preference tool.

The examples above reflect common cookies associated with the website and consent management system. The exact names, providers, purposes, and expiration periods may change as website technology is updated.

6. Advertising and Marketing Cookies

We or our advertising partners may use cookies and similar technologies to understand the effectiveness of advertising campaigns and to provide content or advertisements that may be more relevant to users.

These technologies may help identify whether a user has visited certain pages, interacted with advertisements, submitted a form, or completed another website action.

Advertising cookies may also allow advertising providers to recognize your browser or device when you visit other websites.

Where applicable law requires consent, advertising and targeting cookies will not be placed until you choose to accept them.

When available, our Cookie Consent Manager allows you to select the categories of cookies you wish to allow.

You can usually access these settings through the cookie banner or a consent preferences link available on our website.

Rejecting non-essential cookies will not generally prevent you from visiting our website. However, some functionality, embedded content, or personalized features may be limited.
