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 more efficiently and provide information to website owners.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, IMDH) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics).

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. Here are several ways you can exercise your cookie preferences:

1. Browser Settings:

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically:

• See what cookies you have and delete them individually
• Block third-party cookies
• Block cookies from specific sites
• Block all cookies from being set
• Delete all cookies when you close your browser

Browser-Specific Instructions:

Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Because there is not yet a common understanding of how to interpret DNT signals, IMDH does not currently respond to browser DNT signals.

However, you can still control cookies through your browser settings and the methods described in this policy. We respect your privacy choices and will continue to monitor developments in DNT technology and industry standards.

Different types of cookies are stored for different periods:

We ensure that all international data transfers are protected by appropriate safeguards in compliance with applicable data protection laws, including Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission.
