What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are saved on your computer or mobile device. They contain a string of characters that serve to uniquely identify your browser or device. Think of them as a small digital tag that allows a website to "recognize" you when you return.
What Are Cookies Used For?
Cookies have multiple functions aimed at improving your online experience:
- Device Recognition: They let a site or service know if your computer or device has visited that site before.
- Improved Navigation: They help understand how you use a site, allowing you to move between pages more efficiently and remembering your preferences. This results in a smoother, more personalized browsing experience.
- Advertising Relevance: They can also help make the advertising you see online more relevant to your interests.

Targeting (Advertising) Cookies
Our service, our advertising partners, or third parties may use these types of cookies to deliver advertising relevant to your interests. These cookies may remember that your device has visited a site or service, and they can also track your browsing activity across other sites. This information may be shared with advertisers or ad networks to display ads to you and measure the effectiveness of their campaigns.
First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies
Cookies are also classified according to who places them on your device:
First-Party Cookies
These are cookies that belong to our service (salud.consulteruano.com). They are used to enable specific functions on the site, such as logging in or accessing secure tools and pages.
Third-Party Cookies
These are cookies that other parties place on your device through our service. For example, a service provider for salud.consulteruano.com might place them to help us understand how our site is used. Our business partners may also place them to advertise products and services to you elsewhere on the internet.
Some third-party cookies we use include:
- Google Analytics: Helps us analyze how visitors use our site by truncating your IP address and viewing data in an aggregate form so it's not linked to individual users. You can opt out of being tracked by Google Analytics if you wish.
- Google AdSense and DoubleClick: Use cookies to display advertising on some pages of our service. These cookies personalize ads to make them relevant to you. In some locations, ads may be based solely on the page content, without personalization.

- Session Cookies: They only remain on your device until you close your browser or stop browsing.
- Persistent Cookies: They remain on your computer or mobile device until they expire or you manually delete them.
