This policy describes how cookies are used on this site in order to provide users with clear and up-to-date information about how they can control what happens when they visit our site. In the context of this policy, the term "cookies" means cookies and similar technologies required by law.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small file that usually consists of letters and numbers. It is downloaded to the device when the user accesses the site. Then, each time you visit the site again, the cookies are sent back to the site from which they were downloaded. Cookies help improve the operation and functionality of the site, as well as make it more convenient for a specific user.
The use of cookies and similar technologies has long been a common practice. In addition, a number of online services cannot function without cookies. Therefore, the law does not prohibit the use of such technologies, but requires users to be informed in advance about the use of cookies placed on the site and to give them the right to express their explicit consent to the use of all such files or, if desired, to perform individual cookie settings.
Different types of cookies Session and permanent cookies
Cookies may expire when the browser session ends (the session begins when the user opens the browser window and ends when the user closes the browser), or they may persist longer.
Session cookies allow mapping of user actions on the site during a browser session. They perform a wide variety of functions, for example, remember the products that the user has placed in the cart while visiting the site. In addition, they can be used to ensure security when the user enters the Internet bank, as well as to simplify the work with the e-mail site. Such session cookies expire after the end of the browser session.
So-called session cookies (which in any case are not permanently stored on the user's computer, but are automatically deleted immediately after closing the browser) are used exclusively to transmit data (in the form of a set of random numbers generated by the server) about a specific session, as well as to ensure safe and efficient network operation. The so-called session cookies on this site do not use any other machine methods that could lead to a violation of the privacy of data about users' online activity.
Persistent cookies are stored on the user's device between browser sessions, allowing the user's preferences or actions to be remembered on a site (and in some cases across sites). Persistent cookies perform a wide variety of functions, including remembering the preferences and actions of users on the site.
First-party and third-party cookies differ in terms of whether they are placed on your own site or on a third-party site or domain. In general, first-party cookies are files placed on the site visited by the visitor, that is, the address of which is displayed in the window with a URL link. For cookies hosted by Poltava State Medical University, the address of such portal will be www.pdmu.edu.ua. Third-party cookies are files not placed on the domain visited by the user, that is, cookies placed by other companies and sites, except for the pdmu.edu.ua portal, for example, Google. If a user visits a site (for example, www.pdmu.edu.ua), and some company places a cookie on www.pdmu.edu.ua, such a cookie will be third-party.
