1. What are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit our Platform. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide critical analytical data to site owners. At MedStock, we use both session cookies (which expire when you close your browser) and persistent cookies (which remain on your device until deleted).
2. How We Use Cookies
MedStock uses cookies to:
- Maintain secure, authenticated sessions when you log into your Retailer or Wholesaler dashboard.
- Remember your preferences, such as light/dark mode UI settings.
- Protect your account against Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) and other malicious activities.
- Analyze platform usage to optimize loading speeds and user experiences.
3. Strictly Necessary Cookies
Because MedStock is a financial platform facilitating B2B transactions and maintaining sensitive inventory data, certain cookies are categorized as "Strictly Necessary". These cookies cannot be disabled without breaking core platform functionality.
- auth_token: Used to identify your active logged-in session securely.
- csrf_token: Prevents unauthorized script executions on your behalf.
- theme_preference: Stores your local UI theme settings.
4. Third-Party Tracking & KYC
To comply with Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) regulations, we integrate with secure third-party verification providers (e.g., Didit). During the verification workflows, these partners may place temporary cookies to track device liveness, IP locations, and combat spoofing or fraud.
Analytics cookies (such as those provided by Google Analytics or localized product analytics suites) are used strictly in an aggregated, anonymized format to help us understand where users face friction during the loan application or onboarding process. We do not use tracking cookies for targeted advertising.
5. Managing Your Preferences
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. However, if you limit the ability of the MedStock Platform to set cookies, you may worsen your overall user experience, and you will not be able to log into the financing dashboard.
