What this page covers

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which ones we use on medivtal.co.za, why we use them, and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

 

 

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They help the site remember information about your visit — such as your preferred language, items in your cart, or whether you've already seen a popup — so you don't have to re-enter the same information every time.

Cookies are not viruses. They cannot access other files on your device or run programmes. Most are automatically deleted when you close your browser (session cookies), while others remain on your device for a set period (persistent cookies).
