Cookie Policy

A cookie is a small piece of text your browser stores when you visit a website, then sends back on your next visit so the site can recognize you were there before. That's really all it is: a note the browser keeps for the site. Cookies can't read your hard drive, install anything, or infect your device. What they can do is remember things like whether you're logged in, which language you prefer, or that you already dismissed our cookie banner so we stop asking.

On Doctiplus, cookies do a handful of specific jobs. They keep you signed in between pages so you're not re-entering your password every time you click a link. They remember preferences like your chosen language or dark mode setting. They help our analytics understand which pages are actually useful and which ones people bounce off of, which shapes what we build next. And in a small number of cases, they support advertising that helps fund the free content and tools we publish.

Not all cookies serve the same purpose, and not all of them are optional. Here's how we group them:

For anyone who wants the specifics, here's a representative look at the categories of cookies active on doctipluss.com and roughly how long each one sticks around:

Some cookies on our site are placed not by Doctiplus directly, but by services we rely on, such as analytics providers and payment processors. These third parties set their own cookies to perform their function, for example detecting fraud during checkout or measuring aggregate traffic patterns. We choose these vendors carefully and require them to handle data responsibly, but their cookies are governed by their own privacy and cookie policies, not ours.

You're not stuck with our defaults. Here's how to take control:

Cookies aren't the only small piece of tracking technology in use online. We may also use local storage, which works similarly to a cookie but lives in your browser rather than being sent with every request, and, occasionally, pixel tags in emails to see whether a message was opened. The same choices and controls described above generally apply to these as well.
