In our Cookies Policy you can find more information about
- what cookies are;
- which cookies our website uses, including their purpose, expiration date and the possibility of third party-access;
- how to manage your cookies preferences on our website; and
- how to delete cookies from your browser. Medista tries to keep the information on the cookies up-to-date but insists on the fact that the information is always a snapshot. Because of the constant innovation of the website, the non-static character of the internet and the third parties involved in the use of cookies, it is possible that all cookies and information are not available here.
To the extent that we collect personal data with the help of cookies we will process them in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
1. WHAT IS A COOKIE?
A cookie (also called web cookie, magic cookie, Internet cookie, browser cookie, or simply cookie) is a small piece of data sent from a website and stored on the user's computer or device by the user's web browser while the user is browsing.
Cookies were designed to be a reliable mechanism for websites to remember stateful information (such as items added in a shopping cart in an online store) or to record the user's browsing activity (including clicking particular buttons, logging in, or recording which pages were visited in the past). They can also be used to remember arbitrary pieces of information that the user previously entered into form fields such as names, addresses, passwords, and credit card numbers.
Other kinds of cookies perform essential functions in the modern web. Authentication cookies are the most common method used by web servers to know whether the user is logged in or not, and which account they are logged in with. Without such a mechanism, the site would not know whether to send a page containing sensitive information, or require the user to authenticate themselves by logging in. The security of an authentication cookie generally depends on the security of the issuing website and the user's web browser, and on whether the cookie data is encrypted. Security on our website does not allow a cookie's data to be read by a hacker, used to gain access to user data, or used to gain access (with the user's credentials) to the website to which the cookie belongs.
The tracking cookies, and especially third-party tracking cookies, are commonly used as ways to compile long-term records of individuals' browsing histories – a potential privacy that prompted European lawmakers to take action in 2011. European law now requires that all websites targeting EU member states gain "informed consent" from users before storing non-essential cookies on their device. That is the reason why we need your consent.
Cookies usually have an expiry date. So-called session cookies are deleted automatically when you close your browser. Other cookies can be stored on your computer for a longer period of time, sometimes even until they are deleted manually (so-called permanent cookies).
A distinction can be made between "first party" cookies and "third party" cookies. For first party cookies, Medista has full control over the information collected via these cookies. With "third party cookies", data is sent to a third party.
