About this translation

Necessary settings

altmed_privacy is a server-signed receipt of your analytics and map choice, kept for up to 180 days, HttpOnly. It does not contain a name or phone number and is not used as a patient identifier.

altmed_owner is the owner sign-in cookie: a session of up to eight hours that ends after 30 minutes of inactivity. Auxiliary cookies for sign-in confirmation and Authenticator setup last up to five and ten minutes. They are needed only for the corresponding protected functions.

Browser local storage

altmed-theme remembers a manually selected theme until it is cleared or the setting is changed; without a manual choice, the device theme is used. altmed-privacy-v1 holds an auxiliary copy of the privacy choice. A localStorage entry alone does not allow server analytics: a valid signed receipt is required. This data does not contain request contacts.

Analytics and Google Maps

Analytics is off until separately permitted, and the Google map does not load until maps are permitted. You can allow one function and refuse the other. This version of the site does not use advertising pixels or advertising profiling.

Google Maps operates under Google's terms and policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy. After a third-party service loads, the site cannot control all of its cookies. Refusal removes the embedded map; external cookies can additionally be cleared in your browser settings.

How to change your choice

Open "Privacy settings" at the bottom of the page. "Necessary only" turns off analytics and the map. Clearing the cookie, its expiry or a new edition of the choice will require a new decision. You can use the site without the optional functions.
