Magir Ltd, T/A MediCare Pharmacy Group, Registered office, 44 Montgomery Road Belfast BT6 9HL uses cookies on our Website www.medicare-group.com (the "Service"). By using the Service, you consent to the use of cookies.
Our Cookies Policy explains what cookies are, how we use cookies, how third parties we may partner with may use cookies on the Service, your choices regarding cookies and further information about cookies.
What are Cookies
Cookies are small pieces of text sent by your web browser by a website you visit. A cookie file is stored in your web browser and allows the Service or a third-party to recognise you and make your next visit easier and the Service more useful to you.
Without cookies, websites and their servers have no memory. A cookie, like a key, enables swift passage from one place to the next. Without a cookie every time you open a new web page the server where that page is stored will treat you like a completely new visitor.
Cookies can be "persistent" or "session" cookies.
Persistent Cookies – these files stay in one of your browser's subfolders until you delete them manually or your browser deletes them based on the duration period contained within the persistent cookie's file. A persistent cookie enables a website to remember you on subsequent visits, speeding up or enhancing your experience of services or functions offered. You can decide whether to allow your browser to accept these types of cookies by changing the settings.
Session Cookies - these are temporary cookie files, which are erased when you close your browser. Without cookies, websites and their servers have no memory. A cookie, like a key, enables swift passage from one place to the next. Without a cookie every time you open a new web page the server where that page is stored will treat you like a completely new visitor. A user going from page to page will be treated by the website as a completely new visitor. Session cookies enable the website you are visiting to keep track of your movement from page to page and allows you to proceed through many pages of a site quickly and easily without having to authenticate or reprocess each new area you visit. The most common example of this functionality is the shopping cart feature of any e-commerce site. When you visit one page of a catalogue and select some items, the session cookie remembers your selection so your shopping cart will have the items you selected when you are ready to check out. Without session cookies, if you click CHECKOUT, the new page does not recognise your past activities on prior pages and your shopping cart will always be empty.
When you restart your browser and go back to the site that created the cookie, the website will not recognise you. You will have to log back in (if login is required) or select your preferences/themes again if the site uses these features. A new session cookie will be generated, which will store your browsing information and will be active until you leave the site and close your browser.
You can adjust your session cookies through the settings feature of your browser.
When you first access our website, you will be asked to consent to our use of the cookies described in this Cookie Policy. By using our website, you consent to the storing and accessing of Cookies on your device. You can consent to or block the use of specific cookies by activating the relevant settings in your browser.
