Cookie Policy
Last updated: 7 August 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 or withdraw your consent whenever you like — it is exactly as easy as giving it.
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
Nothing except strictly necessary cookies is stored until you choose. When you first arrive, our banner offers Reject All and Accept All with equal prominence, plus a preferences panel where you can allow analytics without allowing advertising, or the reverse. Until you decide, analytics and advertising storage stays switched off.
If you reject, the tools we use still load but are instructed not to store anything on your device or read anything from it.
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 |
| __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 only if you allow analytics. 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 only if you allow advertising. 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 |
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.
