Cookie Policy

Quality Care Global LLC ("QCG," "we," "us," or "our") and its affiliates provide this Cookie Policy to explain how we use cookies and similar technologies ("Cookies") on www.qualitycareglobal.com ("Site"). This Policy applies to all visitors, registered users, and healthcare providers accessing or using the Site ("you," "your," or "yourself"). By using the Site, you consent to the use of Cookies as described herein.

This Cookie Policy is a separate document from our Privacy Policy, which governs the broader collection, use, and disclosure of personal information. For details on personal information practices, please refer to the Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (e.g., computer, mobile phone, tablet) by a website to store information about your visit. They enable functionality, improve user experience, and allow us to analyze Site usage.

Similar technologies include:

• Web Beacons: Tiny electronic files (e.g., clear GIFs or pixel tags) embedded in web pages or emails to track usage and collect analytics.
• Local Storage: Browser-based storage mechanisms that retain data beyond a single session.

For simplicity, we refer to all such tools as "Cookies" in this Policy.

2. How We Use Cookies

We use Cookies to:

• Enable Site Functionality: Ensure secure browsing, authenticate users (e.g., during registration or SSO login), and maintain Site operations.
• Enhance User Experience: Remember your preferences (e.g., language or settings) to personalize your visit.
• Analyze Performance: Track Site usage, measure performance, and identify areas for improvement (e.g., page load times, visitor counts).
• Support Services: Facilitate features like blog subscriptions and matcher functionality callbacks by ensuring seamless navigation and form submissions.

We do not use Cookies to collect detailed medical information or to share your data with third parties for their marketing purposes, except as described in Section 3.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize Cookies based on their purpose:

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: Essential for Site operation and security (e.g., session management, login authentication). These cannot be disabled without impairing Site functionality.
• Performance Cookies: Collect anonymized data on Site usage (e.g., page visits, click patterns) to improve performance and user experience.
• Functionality Cookies: Store your preferences (e.g., region selection) to tailor the Site to your needs.

We do not use targeting or advertising Cookies to deliver personalized ads, nor do we share Cookie data with third-party advertising platforms.

4. Cookies and Third Parties

We host and maintain the Site in-house and limit Cookie-related data sharing to the following:

• Analytics Providers: We may use third-party analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics) to collect anonymized performance data via Cookies. These providers are contractually restricted from using this data for their own purposes.

No Cookie data is shared with healthcare providers, marketers, or advertisers unless explicitly authorized by you (e.g., through a separate consent mechanism not currently implemented).

5. Duration of Cookies

Cookies have varying lifespans:

• Session Cookies: Temporary and deleted when you close your browser (e.g., used for login sessions).
• Persistent Cookies: Remain on your device until their expiration date or manual deletion (e.g., used for preferences or analytics). These typically expire within 12 hours unless renewed.

You can remove persistent Cookies at any time via your browser settings (see Section 6).

6. Your Control Over Cookies

You may manage Cookies through your browser settings:

• Accept or Reject: Most browsers allow you to block or delete Cookies. Instructions vary by browser—consult your browser’s help resources for details (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Safari settings).
• Limitations: Disabling Strictly Necessary Cookies may impair Site functionality (e.g., login or form submissions). Performance and Functionality Cookies can be disabled without affecting core operations, though some features may be limited.

We do not currently use a cookie consent banner, as our Cookie use is minimal and primarily necessary for Site operation. If this changes, we will provide additional opt-out mechanisms as required by law.

7. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Updates will be posted on the Site with the revised Effective Date. We will notify you of material changes via email or a prominent Site notice where required by law. Your continued use of the Site after the Effective Date constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy.
