What is a cookie:
A cookie is a text file containing small amounts of data and information, which may be downloaded to your computer and stored on your computer’s hard drive or on your mobile device when you visit a website or mobile application. Cookies allow a website or mobile application to recognize your device. In addition to cookies, companies may use other tracking technologies such as pixels, web beacons, browser storage, plug-ins, device identifiers and software development kits (“SDKs”) to track the behavior of website visitors, to deliver personalized content and to make websites and mobile applications function correctly. All of these tracking technologies can collect information about Website visitors and their devices.
“Session cookies” are deleted when you close your browser or app, while “persistent cookies” remain on your device until they expire or you delete them.
How MDCalc uses cookies and other tracking technologies:
MDCalc uses cookies and other tracking technologies as follows:
Essential Cookies: MDCalc uses essential cookies (also known as “strictly necessary” cookies), which enable our Website to function properly. Essential cookies help to authenticate registered users of our Website, save items that visitors place in a cart for purchase, facilitate security and ensure the Website runs quickly and smoothly. These cookies are required for basic operation and do not require your consent to be active. Cookies are either “essential” or “non-essential” (for example, personalization, analytics and targeted advertising cookies), as described below.
Cookies Used for Targeted Advertising: These cookies are placed on your device to monitor your browsing behavior, Website clicks, articles read, medical calculators used, and purchases to build a profile of your interests so that we can present to you advertisements that may be of interest to you. MDCalc’s Website utilizes both first party and third party cookies of this nature. First party cookies are set by MDCalc directly and are used to remember your preferences and to determine the content that may be of interest to you. Third party cookies are set by external ad networks or social media platforms and they track your movement across the internet, enabling advertisers to direct ads to you based on your behavior.
Cookies Used for Personalization: These cookies enable MDCalc to remember your preset features and preferences such as preferred language, Website behavior and browser settings so that we can display relevant content to you and make your user experience smoother.
Analytics Cookies: These cookies are placed on your device to track how you interact with MDCalc’s Website. Analytics cookies collect information on page views, session duration, and traffic sources so that MDCalc can optimize our Website performance and improve user experience.
How to enable and disable tracking technologies:
MDCalc provides Website visitors from certain geographic locations the ability to manage preferences regarding cookies via a consent management tool. The tool contains controls that can be toggled on or off to indicate consent for the various categories of cookies.
You can also adjust your browser to reject cookies, however, this may not affect the operation of essential cookies. Please note that disabling a cookie or category of cookies does not delete the cookie from your browser unless it is manually deleted through your browser functions. Please consult your browser’s settings for more information. Blocking cookies or similar technology might prevent you from accessing some of our content or Website features.
