II. What are cookies?
4. Cookies are small text files that are stored on the end-user’s device (computer, smartphone or other mobile device) used to visit websites. Cookies enable websites to recognise users’ devices and their preferences, and also help to improve the overall online experience for users.
5. Cookies enable users’ actions and preferences to be stored for a certain period of time. On a subsequent visit to the website, the browser sends the information contained in these cookies back to the server, so that it does not need to be entered each time the user visits the website or navigates from one page to another.
6. When a user visits the website https://mcmedcross.com the browser sends information about the user (known as system data), depending on the settings the user has configured. System data may include the computer’s Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type, browser version, the sections of the website visited, the time and date of the visit, the time spent on the website and its individual sections, and other statistical data.
7. Cookies do not, in themselves, require the provision of personal information for their use. Cookies do not normally identify users personally. The data collected through the use of cookies may only be used to facilitate certain functions for users whilst navigating the website or to provide an experience tailored to their preferences. In principle, this data is encrypted in a way that significantly reduces the risk of unauthorised access to it.
8. On their first visit from a specific IP address, users will be asked to give their consent to the use of cookies.

We do not receive any information about users.
