Introduction
By using the Website certain Personal Data (in the meaning of the GDPR) is being processed and collected automatically through the use of cookies such as IP-address, your type of browser and operating system, the number of times you visited the website and the pages you visited.
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.
miDiagnostics 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 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 and passwords.
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, miDiagnostics has full control over the information collected via these cookies. With “third party cookies”, data is sent to a third party.
2. Which cookies do we use and why?
Our Website, uses the following types of cookies:
- Necessary cookies
- Functional cookies;
- Analytical cookies;
- Third-party cookies.
Necessary cookies are necessary for purely technical reasons. These cookies are necessary for the proper functioning of this Website, and it is thus not possible not possible to refuse the use of them if you want to visit our Website.
We use functional cookies to manage the functionality and the different services of this Website. They are usually the result of a visitor action, but can also be implemented as part of the provision of services that are not expressly required by visitors, but are offered to them. For example, cookies that memorize the content already visited on the Website, or the e-mail address and password you entered to log in during a previous visit. They can also be used to prevent from offering to the visitor a service that he has previously been offered and that he has refused. The use of functional cookies may also help us to provide content tailored to your interests, and save you time to connect again or to provide us again with certain information when you visit the website or try to access certain parts reserved for members. If you do not allow these cookies, some of these services may not function correctly.
We use analytical cookies to analyse the traffic on our website (through Google Analytics), for example: the date and time of the visit, the duration of the session, the pages or screens visited or the number of visitors. This allows us to discover which information is found interesting on our website, and which information is deemed less relevant and is thus visited less. Via Adwords we gain more user information on our Website. We use this information to improve the content of our Website and enhance the user experience. You will need to consent to these cookies before we can use them.
We use third-party tracking, marketing and personalisation cookies to allow the use of social media functions. These third parties use these cookies for advertising purposes. Those contain a unique key that is able to distinguish the search patterns of individual visitors, or may contain a code that can be turned into a series of browsing habits or information about preferences of use, which are stored elsewhere. These cookies are used only after a choice has been made by you as to which cookies to allow.
