This Cookie Policy sets out how GPC Medical Ltd uses cookies and other digital technologies on the www.gpcmedical.com website (hereinafter "GPC Medical", "we", "our" or "us").
This cookie policy sits in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Directive (PECD) and should be read in line with our Privacy Policy. If you have questions or comments, please contact us.
We use cookies and similar technologies to collect certain information about visitors. In this Cookie Policy we explain how we and third parties use cookies while you are browsing our website, including subpages, or other features (generally referred to in this policy as the "website").
Like most websites you visit, our website uses cookies and other similar technologies described below (commonly referred to as "cookies"). Cookies are text files embedded in a website that contain small amounts of information that is downloaded to your device or embedded in a website when you visit it. Cookies can then be sent back to the original website or to another website that recognises that cookie on each subsequent visit.
Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognise a user's device and remember your actions and settings (such as login details, language, font size and other display settings) over a period of time.
Where possible, security measures are taken to prevent unauthorised access to our cookies and similar technologies. A unique identifier ensures that only we and/or our authorised service providers have access to cookie data.
Web beacons (also known as internet tags, pixel tags and clear GIFs) are usually transparent graphics placed on a website or email. Web beacons are used in combination with cookies to obtain information about our visitors' interactions, track the visitor's journey on our website, create segment categories and behavioural patterns, or serve targeted advertisements. We (or the third parties we use) use beacons to obtain information such as the IP address of the computer that downloaded the page on which the beacon is displayed, the URL of the page on which the beacon is displayed, the time the page containing the beacon was viewed and the type of browser used to view the page.
We (or the third parties we use) only use the redacted portion of the IP address to determine the broader physical location of the device, so we cannot identify your exact location. This helps us understand which geographic regions our website visitors are coming from in order to change the way we present our website to you, enrich your visit or customise our marketing content. If we wish to collect your precise location data for our promotional purposes, we will obtain your consent to do so.
Device ID are unique numbers assigned to a smartphone or similar handheld device from which the internet can be accessed. We use Device ID for the same purposes for which we use cookies, as described in this policy.
Device fingerprinting can combine certain attributes of a device, such as the operating system, type and version of browser used, language settings and IP addresses, etc., which are used together to identify unique devices. Where fingerprints are used, we use them for the same purposes for which we use cookies.
We use different types of cookies on our website for different purposes as set out below. Some of these cookies are placed by us and others by third parties (e.g., social media platform and analytics providers etc.).
