Please note that if you disable or refuse cookies, certain parts of the Platform may not function properly.

Store information about your preferences.

Speed up your searches.

Recognize you when you return to our Platform.

As with many other websites and applications, our Platform may use “cookies” or other data tracking technologies (collectively “cookies”) to help us deliver content specific to your interests, to process your requests, and/or to analyze your visiting patterns. We may collect the following types of information about your visit including: the domain from which you access the Internet; IP address; operating system and information about the device or browser used when visiting the Platform; date and time of your visit; content you visited; general location; and website (such as google.com or bing.com) and website referral source (such as email notice or social media site) that connected you to the Platform. Our Platform uses two types of cookies: single-session (temporary) and multi-session (persistent). Temporary cookies last only as long as your web browser is open, and are used for technical purposes such as enabling better navigation through our Platform. Once you close your browser, the cookie disappears. Persistent cookies are stored on your computer for longer periods and are used for purposes including tracking the number of unique visitors to our Platform and information such as the number of views a page gets, how much time a user spends on a page, and other pertinent web statistics. Cookies, by themselves, will not be used by MedFit Health to disclose your individual identity. This information identifies your browser to our servers when you use the Platform. We also use different types of first- and third-party cookies on the Platform. For example, we use cookies to track user trends and patterns. This helps us better understand and improve areas of the Platform that our users find valuable. We use cookies to personalize content and ads, to provide social media features and to analyze our traffic. We also share information about your browser’s use of our Platform with our social media, advertising and analytics partners. We use the information from cookies to provide services better tailored to our users’ needs.

Google Analytics. We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”) to collect certain information relating to your use of our Site.

Other Third-Party Tools. We use other third party tools that allow us to track the performance of our Site. These tools provide us with information about errors, app and website performance, and other technical details we may use to improve our Site and/or our Service.

Advertising: We may use anonymized and aggregated data about how you browse and shop in order to show you ads for MedFit Health or our advertising partners that are relevant to your interests.  

We may use cookies and other information to provide relevant interest-based advertising to you, and ad networks to which we belong may use your browsing activity across participating websites to show you interest-based advertisements on those websites. Interest-based ads are ads presented to you based on your browsing behavior to provide you with ads more tailored to your interests. These interest-based ads may be presented to you while you are browsing our Platform or third-party sites not owned by MedFit Health.
