What technologies are used?
Cookies
A cookie is a small file placed onto your device that enables MEDSTA/Medstaservices/MedstaID features and functionality. Any browser visiting our sites may receive cookies from us or cookies from third parties such as our customers, partners or service providers. We or third parties may also place cookies in your browser when you visit non-MEDSTA/Medstaservices/MedstaID sites that display ads or that host our plugins or tags.
We use two types of cookies: persistent cookies and session cookies. A persistent cookie lasts beyond the current session and is used for many purposes, such as recognizing you as an existing user, so it is easier to return to MEDSTA/Medstaservices/MedstaID and interact with our Services without signing in again. Since a persistent cookie stays in your browser, it will be read by MEDSTA/Medstaservices/MedstaID when you return to one of our sites or visit a third party site that uses our Services. Session cookies last only as long as the session (usually the current visit to a website or a browser session).
Pixels
A pixel is a tiny image that may be embedded within web pages and emails, requiring a call (which provides device and visit information) to our servers in order for the pixel to be rendered in those web pages and emails. We use pixels to learn more about your interactions with email content or web content, such as whether you interacted with ads or posts. Pixels can also enable us and third parties to place cookies on your browser.
Local Storage
Local storage enables a website or application to store information locally on your device(s). Local storage may be used to improve the MEDSTA / Medstaservices / MedstaID experience, for example, by enabling features, remembering your preferences and speeding up site functionality.
Other similar technologies
We also use other tracking technologies, such as mobile advertising IDs and tags for similar purposes as described in this Cookie Policy.
Our cookie tables list some of the cookies that are used by us and third parties as part of our Services. Please note that these tables may be updated from time to time to provide you with the latest information.

We or our service providers use cookies to understand, improve, and research products, features and services, including as you navigate through our sites or when you access MEDSTA/Medstaservices/MedstaID from other sites, applications or devices. We or our service providers, use cookies to determine and measure the performance of ads or posts on and off MEDSTA/Medstaservices/MedstaID and to learn whether you have interacted with our or our customers’ websites, content or emails and provide analytics based on those interactions.
We also use cookies to provide aggregated information to our customers and partners as part of our Services.
If you are a MEDSTA/Medstaservices/MedstaID member but logged out of your account on a browser, MEDSTA/Medstaservices/MedstaID may still continue to log your interaction with our Services on that browser for up to 30 days in order to generate usage analytics for our Services.

What is Do Not Track (DNT)?
DNT is a concept that has been promoted by regulatory agencies such as the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC), for the Internet industry to develop and implement a mechanism for allowing Internet users to control the tracking of their online activities across websites by using browser settings. As such, MEDSTA/Medstaservices/MedstaID does not generally respond.
