Pharmacy, medical insurance and payment services

Online pharmacy

When online pharmacy transactions are available, necessary technologies may maintain carts, checkout and secure account sessions. Confidential prescription or medical information must remain in the appropriate secure application system and must not be exposed through ordinary browser cookies.

Medical insurance applications

Session technologies may protect authenticated access, preserve the current application step and save progress. Medical history, identity documents and banking information must not be stored directly in ordinary browser cookies.

Payments

An external payment provider may use necessary technologies for authentication, fraud prevention, transaction security and maintaining a payment session. Integrating a payment provider does not by itself justify advertising cookies.

05

Your cookie choices

You can accept all available optional categories, reject optional technologies or choose categories individually. Necessary technologies remain active because they support security and essential website functions. Optional categories are not treated as accepted until you make that choice.

Browser controls

Most browsers let you view, delete or block cookies and restrict third-party cookies for individual websites. Blocking all cookies may affect secure sessions, forms, application progress, carts and checkout.

Storage currently used by this website

The table lists browser storage verified in the Rugare Medical website theme. WordPress, hosting, logged-in administration or a third-party service may add necessary storage in the context where that service is used; the list is reviewed as production services change.

The public theme does not itself activate analytics or marketing cookies. If an approved optional integration is introduced, this table and the consent controls must be updated before that technology is enabled.

07

Retention and health information

Session cookies generally expire when a browser session ends. Persistent storage remains for a defined period or until it is removed. Rugare Medical should not retain it longer than reasonably necessary for its stated purpose.

Health information is sensitive. Diagnoses and prescriptions must not be placed in analytics or advertising cookies; medical-history answers must not be sent to advertising platforms; appointment contents must not be used for advertising profiles; and sensitive pages should avoid unnecessary third-party tracking.
