This policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and your choices regarding cookies.

1. What are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function efficiently, enhance user experience, and provide insights to website owners. Cookies allow us to recognize your device, remember your preferences, and understand how you interact with our Websites.

2. How We Use Cookies

We use both first-party (set by Medqon) and third-party (set by external services) cookies for various purposes. The cookies we use fall into the following categories:

2.1. Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the basic operation of our Websites. Without them, services you request, such as logging in or accessing secure areas, would not be possible. They do not store any personally identifiable information.

  • Purpose: Enable core website functionality (e.g., session management, security).
  • Duration: Session cookies, deleted when you close your browser.
  • Legal Basis: Legitimate interest (necessary for providing services you request).
2.2. Performance Cookies

Performance cookies collect information on how visitors use our Websites, such as which pages are visited most often or if any error messages are encountered. This information is aggregated and anonymous. These cookies help us improve the functionality of our Websites and enhance the user experience.

  • Purpose: Analyze user behavior, optimize website performance.
  • Duration: Persistent cookies, retained for a predefined period (e.g., 6 months).
  • Legal Basis: Legitimate interest (site improvement).
2.3. Functional Cookies

These cookies allow our Websites to remember choices you make (e.g., language or region preferences) and provide enhanced,  personalized features. They may also be used to provide services you have requested, such as commenting on blog posts or using live chat.

  • Purpose: Personalize user experience, store user preferences.
  • Duration: Persistent cookies (e.g., 1 year) to retain your settings across sessions.
  • Legal Basis: Legitimate interest or consent (for some optional features).
2.4. Targeting/Advertising Cookies

These cookies track your browsing habits to deliver ads that are relevant to you. They may also be used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and measure the effectiveness of ad campaigns. These cookies are typically placed by third-party advertising networks with our permission.

  • Purpose: Serve targeted ads, measure ad effectiveness, limit ad frequency.
  • Duration: Persistent cookies, lasting up to 1 year depending on the provider.
  • Legal Basis: Consent (required under GDPR for non-essential cookies).

3. Third-Party Cookies

We use third-party service providers, such as HubSpot and Google Analytics, to help us with marketing, analytics, and understanding user interactions on our Websites. These third-party cookies are placed by external services and are subject to the respective provider’s privacy and cookie policies.

  • HubSpot: Used for managing marketing campaigns and tracking user interactions (e.g., form submissions). For more details, refer to HubSpot’s Privacy Policy.
  • Google Analytics: Used to track website traffic and analyze visitor behavior. Google Analytics anonymizes your IP address to protect your privacy. See Google’s Privacy Policy.

We do not control these third-party cookies, and you should refer to the providers’ privacy policies for details.
