We respect your privacy. For all cookies that are not "strictly necessary," we will ask for your explicit consent before they are placed on your device. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time via the "Cookie Settings" link in our website footer.

2. What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small piece of data that a website stores on your device when you visit. It typically contains a unique identifier and information about the website itself. Cookies enable features like logging in, analytics, and personalized content.

3. Types of cookies and how we use them

Essential cookies
‍Required for the site to work. These enable core features like user logins, security, and account management. These are active by default and do not require consent, as the website cannot function without them.

Performance cookies
Used for site improvement. These track how you use our website anonymously. They help us identify errors and understand which pages are most helpful.
‍We use performance cookies to ensure our medical information remains accessible and effective.

‍Functionality cookies
Used for personalization. These remember your settings, such as your language preferences, time zone, or notification settings, so you don't have to re-enter them every time you visit.

Targeting/advertising cookies
Used for relevant outreach. These help determine what promotional content is most appropriate to your interests. These cookies can track you across other websites.
‍Note: Because Project Medicine provides health-related information, we treat targeting data with extreme care and never sell your specific health-interest data to third parties.

‍4. Third-Party Services

We may use third-party services like Google Analytics or social media embeds. While we choose our partners carefully, we do not have direct control over their cookies. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of these third parties.

5. Managing Your Preferences
