Last Updated: June 2026
This cookie notice describes how we use cookies and similar technologies on our websites and online properties (valcaremedical.com and any sub-domains).
Please take the time to read this notice, which complements our general privacy notice available here. If you have questions or comments, you are welcome to contact us at: gdpo@valcaremedical.com.
By agreeing to our use of cookies, you are giving us and third parties acting on our behalf permission to place, store, and access some or all of the cookies described below on your computer.
When you first access our Website from certain jurisdictions, you may receive a message advising you that cookies and similar technologies are in use. By clicking “Accept” you signify that you understand and agree to the use of these cookies, as described in this notice.
You do not have to accept cookies that are not essential for the provision of the Website, and consent can be withdrawn at any time by using the cookie management tool available on our Website.
You can also change your browser settings to refuse or restrict cookies, and you may delete them after they have been placed on your device at any time (See “How to Control Cookies?”, below). If you do not accept or delete our cookies, some areas of our Website that you access may take more time to work or may not function properly.
Capitalized terms used in this notice that are not otherwise described herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in our privacy notice.
What is ‘Cookie’?
A cookie is a small piece of data or a text file that is downloaded to your computer or mobile device when you access certain websites. Cookies may contain text that can be read by the web server that delivered the cookie to you. The text contained in the cookie generally consists of a sequence of letters and numbers that uniquely identifies your computer or mobile device; it may contain other information as well.
What are Similar Tracking Technologies?
Functions usually performed by a cookie can be achieved by other means. This could include, for example, using certain characteristics to identify devices so that visits to a website can be analyzed.
Any technology that stores or accesses information on your device is relevant for this purpose, for example, HTML5 local storage, Local Shared Objects, Canvas, CSS and fingerprinting techniques, clear gifs (web beacons) and tracking pixels, ‘EverTracking Technologies’, HTTP headers, user agent strings, scripts, ETags, social networking widgets, SDKs (software development kits), graph APIs (application programming interface), plugins, and more. Additionally, technologies like the use of log files, scripts, tracking pixels, and plugins, wherever these are used, are also considered similar technologies.
For What Purposes are Cookies Being Used?
Cookies are used in numerous ways. For example, when analyzing traffic to a website or tracking users’ browsing behavior.
Cookies are widely used because they allow a website to recognize a user’s device and help it remember visitors and their activities, such as language preferences.
What are ‘First-party’ and ‘Third-party’ Cookies?
First-party cookies are set by the website you are visiting. Only that website can read them. In addition, a website might potentially use external services, which also set their own cookies, known as third-party cookies.
What are ‘Session’ and ‘Persistent’ Cookies?
Session cookies allow websites to link the actions of a user during a browser session. Session cookies permit users to be recognized as they navigate a website so that any item or page changes they make are remembered from page to page. Session cookies expire after a browser session; thus, they are not stored long-term.
Persistent cookies are stored on a user’s device between browser sessions, which allows the user’s preferences or actions across a site (or, in some cases, across different sites) to be remembered. Persistent cookies may be used for a variety of purposes, including remembering users’ choices and preferences when using a website or targeting advertising to them.
