1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. They can help a website recognize your device and remember information about your visit, such as your preferences, settings, and how you use the website.

2. How We Use Cookies

EyeRxCraft uses cookies for essential and functional purposes only. We believe in a privacy-focused approach and do not use cookies for advertising, tracking, or marketing. Our use of cookies is strictly limited to what is necessary to provide a secure and seamless user experience.

Specifically, we use cookies for:

• Authentication and Security (Strictly Necessary): These cookies are essential for the operation of our service. They allow us to verify your account, keep you logged in securely during your session, and protect your account from unauthorized access. Without these cookies, you would not be able to log in or use the platform.
• Functionality and Preferences (Functional): These cookies help us remember your settings and preferences to enhance your user experience. For example, we use a cookie (via `localStorage`, a similar technology) to remember the state of the sidebar (expanded or collapsed) or your selected clinic, so you don’t have to set it on every visit.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

• Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. We use them to maintain your login state as you navigate through the application.
• Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. We use them to remember your functional preferences, such as the sidebar state.

4. Third-Party Cookies

EyeRxCraft does not use any third-party cookies for advertising or analytics tracking.

Our authentication service, Firebase Authentication (provided by Google), may set its own cookies to manage secure login sessions. These are essential for the security of your account and are governed by Google's Privacy Policy. These cookies are not used to track you across other sites for advertising purposes.

5. Your Choices and How to Manage Cookies

Because we only use cookies that are strictly necessary or essential for the functionality of the platform, we do not provide an option to opt-out of these cookies. Disabling them through your browser settings will prevent you from being able to log in and use the EyeRxCraft application.

Most web browsers allow some control of most cookies through the browser settings. You can configure your browser to block cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent. To find out more about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set, visit www.aboutcookies.org or www.allaboutcookies.org.

6. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will notify you of any significant changes.
