The site http://www.medicinas.eu, like many others, uses small files called cookies to help customize your experience. Find out more about cookies and how you can control them.

What are ‘cookies’?
‘Cookies’ are small text files that are stored by the browser (e.g. Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari etc.) on your computer or mobile phone. They allow websites to store such things as user preferences. You can think of cookies as providing a “memory” for the website, enabling it to recognize a user and respond appropriately.
Because we respect your right to privacy, you can choose not to allow some types of cookies.
There are 2 main categories of cookies:
- Session cookies – Also called a transient cookie, these cookies are erased when the user closes the Web browser. The session cookie is stored in temporary memory and is not retained after the browser is closed or after the user logs out.
- Persistent cookies – Persistent cookies help websites remember your information and settings when you visit them in the future. This result in faster and more convenient access since, for example, you don’t have to log in again. Persistent cookies may also include cookies placed by a different website than the one that the user is currently visiting (also known as ‘third party cookies’) – which can be anonymously used to remember the user’s preferences.
