Cookie Policy
Last updated: 3 November 2026
This page explains what cookies medicodio.ai uses, what each one is for, how long it lasts, and how you can change your mind at any time. It covers cookies and similar technologies such as browser storage.
Change your choices
You can review your choices, or turn analytics and advertising off, whenever you like. Turning them off is exactly as easy as leaving them on.
What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file a website stores on your device. It lets the site remember things between pages and visits, such as the choice you made in our cookie banner. Some cookies are set by us, others by services we use, like Google Analytics.
How we ask for your consent
This depends on where you are, because the rules do. We use the country your internet connection reports to decide which of the two applies to you.
In the EEA, the UK, Switzerland and India, nothing except strictly necessary cookies is stored until you choose. Until you decide, analytics and advertising storage stays switched off. Our banner there asks a question, and the reject button is exactly as prominent and exactly as few clicks as the accept button.
Everywhere else, including the United States, analytics and advertising cookies are switched on by default when you arrive, and our banner tells you so. We do not wait for permission first, but we do stop as soon as you say stop. Because nothing is being asked of you there, that banner carries a single acknowledgement button; the switches for turning analytics and advertising off sit one click away under Manage preferences.
Either way you get the same controls and the same preferences panel, where you can allow analytics without allowing advertising, or the reverse. You can reopen it at any time from Cookie Settings or Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information in the footer of every page. If you turn them off, the tools we use still load but are instructed not to store anything on your device or read anything from it, and anything already stored under the analytics or advertising categories is deleted.
If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we treat that as you having already said no, wherever you are. Analytics and advertising storage stays off, and we do not show you a banner asking otherwise. You can still switch them on deliberately from Cookie Settings if you want to.
Strictly necessary cookies
These are required for the site to work and for the security of our forms. They cannot be switched off, and they do not require your consent.
| Cookie | Set by | What it does | Expires |
|---|---|---|---|
| mc_consent | MediCodio (first party) | Remembers the cookie choices you made in the banner, so you are not asked again on every page. Also serves as our record that consent was given. | 180 days |
| mc_geo | MediCodio (first party) | Stores the two-letter country code our server already sees from your connection, so the site knows which regional cookie rules to apply to you. Not used to identify you or to target anything. | 180 days |
| __cf_bm, cf_clearance | Cloudflare | Set by the invisible bot check protecting our contact form, to tell real visitors apart from automated submissions. Set only when the form is used. | 30 minutes to 1 year |
Analytics cookies
Set if you allow analytics, and, outside the EEA, the UK, Switzerland and India, unless you turn them off. They tell us how people find and use the site so we can improve it. We use them to understand which pages and which channels are useful, not to build a profile of you for advertising.
| Cookie | Set by | What it does | Expires |
|---|---|---|---|
| mc_ft | MediCodio (first party) | Records how you first found us: the campaign, search or website that brought you here the first time. Lets us understand which of our efforts actually reach people. | 90 days |
| mc_lt | MediCodio (first party) | Records the most recent campaign, search or website that brought you back to us. | 30 days |
| _ga, _ga_* | Google Analytics | Distinguishes one visitor from another so we can count visits and see which pages are used, in aggregate. | Up to 2 years |
Advertising cookies
Set if you allow advertising, and, outside the EEA, the UK, Switzerland and India, unless you turn them off. They let us measure which of our campaigns lead to enquiries, and support remarketing.
| Cookie | Set by | What it does | Expires |
|---|---|---|---|
| _gcl_au | Google Ads | Records that you arrived from one of our adverts, so we can tell which campaigns lead to enquiries. | 90 days |
| RB2B identifiers | RB2B (Retention.com) | Identifies business visitors in the United States by name, company and professional profile, so our team can follow up with interested organizations. | Set by RB2B |
Other storage we use
Not everything stored on your device is a cookie. We also use:
- Chat widget history: if you use the chat assistant, your conversation is kept in your browser’s local storage so that reloading the page does not lose it. It stays on your device and expires on its own.
- Embedded video: pages with an embedded video load it from YouTube. If you press play, YouTube may set its own cookies under its own policy. We embed using YouTube’s privacy-enhanced mode where possible.
Third parties
Some cookies above are set by companies other than us. Their use of the data is governed by their own policies:
- Google (Analytics and Ads): policies.google.com/privacy
- Cloudflare: cloudflare.com/privacypolicy
- YouTube: policies.google.com/privacy
Exactly which Google cookies appear depends on which measurement tags are active at the time. The categories above are what governs them either way: nothing in the analytics or advertising rows is stored unless you have allowed that category.
Controlling cookies in your browser
Besides our banner, every major browser lets you block or delete cookies in its settings. Blocking all cookies may stop parts of this or other websites working properly. Guidance is available at allaboutcookies.org. You can also opt out of Google Analytics across all sites with Google’s browser add-on.
Changes to this policy
If we add or remove a cookie, we update the tables above and the date at the top of this page. If the change affects what we ask you to consent to, we will ask again rather than assume your earlier answer still applies.
