What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website can store on your device when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work correctly or to collect information about how a site is used.
Not all websites use cookies, and not all cookies are the same. Some are essential for a site to work; others are used for tracking or advertising.
Cookies on This Website
Medical Mnemonics is a simple, static educational website. We do not run advertising, we have no user accounts, and we do not track individuals across the internet.
We use no advertising cookies and no cross-site tracking cookies.
Your web browser or hosting infrastructure may set limited technical cookies as part of standard web operation (for example, to maintain a secure connection). These are temporary, contain no personal information, and expire when you close your browser.
Analytics Cookies (if applicable)
We may use basic, privacy-friendly analytics to understand how many people visit this site and which pages are most useful. If analytics are in use:
- No personally identifiable information is collected
- Data is aggregated and anonymous
- No data is sold or shared for advertising purposes
If you would prefer not to be included in basic analytics, you can disable cookies in your browser settings (see below) or use a browser extension such as uBlock Origin.
Your Cookie Choices
You are in control of cookies. Every modern browser lets you view, manage, and delete cookies at any time. You can also set your browser to block cookies entirely — this will not affect your ability to use this website, as it does not rely on cookies to function.
Here's how to manage cookies in the most common browsers:
| Browser | How to manage cookies |
|---|---|
| Google Chrome | Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies |
| Mozilla Firefox | Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies |
| Apple Safari | Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data |
| Microsoft Edge | Settings → Privacy, search and services → Cookies |
Third-Party Cookies
We do not intentionally load third-party advertising or social media scripts that would set cookies from external companies. If we use fonts or analytics from a third-party provider, those services may set their own cookies — we recommend reviewing the privacy policies of Google Fonts and any analytics provider if this is a concern.
PECR Compliance (UK)
This Cookie Policy is provided in accordance with the UK's Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR). Given that we use no non-essential cookies, no cookie consent banner is required. If our cookie usage changes in the future, we will update this policy and implement appropriate consent mechanisms.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy if our practices change. Any updates will be reflected on this page with a revised date. We encourage you to check back periodically.
