Cookie Policy

Last updated: May 2026

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which cookies MyDoctor Greece uses, and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to website operators about how visitors use their site.

Cookies can be session cookies (deleted automatically when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (stored on your device for a defined period or until you delete them). They can also be first-party (set by the website you are visiting) or third-party (set by a different website or service).

2. Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function correctly. Without them, services you have requested cannot be provided. These cookies do not require your prior consent under the ePrivacy Directive because they are technically necessary.

Cookie name Purpose Duration Type
site_lang Stores your language preference (English, German, Swedish, or Greek) so you do not need to re-select it on each visit. 12 months First-party, persistent

The site_lang cookie contains only a language code (e.g., en). It does not identify you personally, does not track your behaviour across websites, and is not used for advertising purposes.

3. Functional Cookies and Browser Storage

Our online chat widget uses browser localStorage — a technology similar to cookies — to maintain your chat session between page visits. This allows the chat to resume where you left off if you navigate away and return.

This data is stored only in your browser on your device. It is not transmitted to third-party advertising networks or used for tracking purposes. It is automatically cleared when the chat conversation ends or when you clear your browser storage.

4. Analytics Cookies

We do not currently use third-party web analytics services (such as Google Analytics) on this website. If analytics tools are introduced in the future, this policy will be updated, and any cookies requiring consent will only be activated after you have been given the opportunity to accept or decline them.

5. Third-Party Cookies

This website does not embed third-party tracking or advertising scripts. However, our website contains links to external services such as WhatsApp. When you click on a WhatsApp link and are redirected to the WhatsApp platform, that service operates under its own privacy and cookie policies, which are outside our control.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you interact with from our website.

6. Cookie Consent

Under the ePrivacy Directive (as implemented in Greece) and the GDPR, cookies that are strictly necessary for the operation of the website do not require prior consent. Our site_lang cookie falls into this category.

If we introduce cookies that do require consent — such as analytics or marketing cookies — we will present you with a clear cookie notice and obtain your consent before setting those cookies.

7. How You Can Control Cookies

You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

  • View the cookies stored on your device
  • Delete individual cookies or all cookies at once
  • Block cookies from specific websites or all websites
  • Set your browser to notify you before a cookie is stored

Please note that blocking or deleting cookies may affect the functionality of this website and other websites you visit. In particular, your language preference will not be remembered if you delete or block the site_lang cookie.

8. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or changes in applicable law. Any updates will be published on this page with a revised date. We encourage you to check this page periodically.
