Cookie Policy

Last updated: September 2026

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies PreMedEU uses, why we use them, and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites work correctly, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the site's owners. We also use browser local storage and session storage for similar purposes — these are not cookies in the strict technical sense, but are governed by the same EU ePrivacy rules.

2. Cookies We Use

We use two categories of cookies and storage:

A. Strictly Necessary

These are essential for the platform to function. They cannot be disabled without breaking core features. Under the EU ePrivacy Directive, strictly necessary cookies do not require prior consent.

Name / KeyProviderPurpose
sb-*-auth-tokenSupabaseStores your authenticated session. Deleted when you sign out.
cookie_consentPreMedEU (localStorage)Remembers your cookie preference to avoid showing the banner on every visit.

B. Functional / Preference

These improve your experience by remembering choices you make, such as your display theme. They are stored in browser local storage and are not transmitted to any third party.

Name / KeyProviderPurpose
themePreMedEU (localStorage)Remembers your light/dark mode preference.

C. Analytics (Optional)

We use Vercel Analytics to understand aggregate traffic patterns and improve platform performance. Vercel Analytics is designed to be privacy-friendly: it does not use cookies, does not track users across sites, and collects only anonymised metrics. No personal data or fingerprints are stored or shared. These analytics are active by default in production but you can opt out by selecting “Essential Only” in the cookie banner.

3. What We Do Not Use

  • No advertising or targeting cookies.
  • No third-party social media tracking pixels.
  • No cross-site tracking or behavioural profiling.
  • No persistent fingerprinting.

4. Managing Your Preferences

When you first visit PreMedEU, a cookie banner will appear offering two choices:

  • Accept All: enables all cookies and analytics described in Section 2.
  • Essential Only: limits storage to strictly necessary items (auth session and consent preference).

You can also control cookies directly through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies, delete existing cookies, or be notified when a cookie is set. Note that disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from signing in.

To change your preference after dismissing the banner, clear your browser's local storage for premedeu.com and refresh the page, or contact us at [email protected].

5. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the technologies we use or applicable law. Material changes will be communicated via a notice on the platform. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page indicates when it was last revised.

6. Contact

For any questions about our use of cookies or local storage, please contact us at [email protected].
