Overview and Purpose of This Policy

This Cookies Policy explains how Top Medical Health Care Center (the “Website”, “we”, “us” or “our”) may use cookies and similar technologies when you visit topmedicalhealth.com. It describes the purposes for which these technologies may be used, the role of third-party services, and the choices available to visitors.

A professional healthcare privacy-themed visual representing website cookies, user consent, data protection, privacy preferences, and transparent digital practices at Top Medical Health Care Center.

We publish health, medical, science and wellness information for educational purposes. Privacy matters especially in this setting because a page address or interaction may reveal an interest in a particular health topic. We aim to use tracking technologies transparently, limit unnecessary collection, and respect choices required by applicable law. This policy should be read with our Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions.

What Are Cookies and Web Technologies?

A cookie is a small text file that a website or service may store in your browser. A first-party cookie is set in the context of the website you are visiting; a third-party cookie or identifier is associated with a different provider or domain. Session cookies are generally intended to expire when a browser session ends, while persistent cookies remain until a stated expiry or deletion.

The term “similar technologies” can include browser local storage, session storage, pixels, tags, scripts, software development kits, device identifiers, embedded media, and technologies that read information from or store information on a device. Privacy and consent rules may apply to these technologies even when they are not technically cookies.

Purposes for Which We May Use These Technologies

Depending on the feature and the current technical configuration, cookies and similar technologies may support essential site operation, security, user preferences, accessibility settings, analytics, performance measurement, advertising, embedded content, or the operation of third-party tools.

A technology is not essential simply because it is useful to us. We distinguish technologies that are strictly necessary to provide a service you request from optional technologies that improve measurement, personalisation, advertising, or convenience. Optional technologies should be controlled through the consent mechanism where consent is required.

Consent Framework and Visitor Rights

Where applicable law requires consent before storing information on or accessing information from your device, we will seek a freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous choice before enabling the relevant non-essential technology. A visitor should be able to accept or reject optional categories without being misled, and should be able to change or withdraw a choice later through the site's Privacy Settings control when that control is available.

Continuing to browse, scrolling, or merely reading this policy is not treated as affirmative consent where the law requires an active choice. Strictly necessary technologies may operate without consent only where the relevant legal exemption applies. Any personal data processed through a cookie or tag must also have an appropriate legal basis under the applicable data-protection law; device-access consent and the legal basis for subsequent personal-data processing are related but distinct questions.

Yes/No applies at category level. *Only the specific essential or security technologies that are genuinely necessary to provide a service you request qualify as required and cannot be switched off in the site's category controls; convenience or analytics tools do not qualify. **This applies only if an authenticated feature is offered. This is a category-level comparison, not a list of confirmed cookie names. The exact name, provider, purpose and expiry of each live cookie or storage key must be established through a technical scan and shown in the site's current preference inventory.

Essential Cookies

Strictly necessary technologies may be used to deliver a page you request, maintain network communication, preserve core platform functions, remember a consent choice, or protect the website from abuse. These technologies should be limited to what is genuinely necessary for the function concerned.

If an essential technology is blocked, a page or requested feature may not work correctly. We do not use the “essential” label as a blanket exemption for analytics, advertising, general audience measurement, or convenience features.

Security and Infrastructure Cookies

Security-related technologies may help identify unusual traffic, protect forms, reduce automated abuse, maintain service integrity, or support secure delivery. A provider operating hosting, content delivery, bot-protection, or anti-abuse services may also set or read technical identifiers as part of that service.

Only security technologies that meet the applicable strict-necessity test should be treated as essential. The exact provider, identifier, purpose and retention period depend on the live infrastructure and should be confirmed through a technical cookie and tag audit.

Authentication and Session Integrity

The public website is primarily an informational publishing platform. If an authenticated feature, account, comment-management workflow, or protected administrative function is provided, temporary identifiers may be used to maintain the relevant session and prevent unauthorised access.

We do not imply that every visitor has an account or that a public reader session is individually authenticated. Any new login or account feature should have its own clear privacy explanation, security controls and retention rules.

Preference and User Settings Cookies

Where supported, preference technologies may remember choices such as language, display settings, font size, theme, or a previously selected interface option. Such settings are intended to reduce repetitive steps and make the website easier to use.

Preference storage is not automatically essential. Where required, visitors should be able to decline or reset non-essential preferences. Browser controls can also be used to clear locally stored settings, although this may return the interface to its default state.

Accessibility Enhancement Technologies

The website may offer interface options such as text-size adjustments, reading or focus modes, contrast settings, or other accessibility features. If a feature stores a preference on your device, the stored value should be limited to the setting required to provide that feature.

We aim to design consent and privacy controls to be usable with a keyboard, screen reader, zoom and assistive technology, and to align with WCAG 2.2 Level AA as reflected in our current editorial accessibility framework. This is an ongoing design objective, not a claim of verified conformance; a formal accessibility assessment is needed to establish conformance.

Analytics and Performance Tracking

If analytics tools are enabled, they may measure aggregate visits, page views, navigation events, referral sources, device or browser characteristics, approximate geographic information, loading performance, and technical errors. These measurements can help us understand whether pages load correctly and which site areas need improvement.

Analytics tools may process online identifiers or other information that can be personal data depending on context and applicable law. We do not describe analytics as anonymous merely because dashboards display aggregated reports. Where consent is required, analytics storage and related tags should remain disabled until the visitor gives the relevant permission.

Content Quality and Site Optimisation Technologies

Aggregate content metrics may help editors understand whether educational resources are discoverable, readable, accessible and technically reliable. For example, page-level statistics may indicate that a resource is frequently visited or that a page has a high error rate.

We do not need an identifiable reader profile to improve a health article. We aim to use aggregated or appropriately minimised statistics and to avoid using a person's reading history as a basis for an individual health profile.

Performance Monitoring and Core Web Vitals

Technical performance monitoring may measure loading, responsiveness, visual stability, network errors, and other signals used to improve page delivery. Some measurements may be generated by the browser, hosting platform, content delivery provider, or a performance-monitoring service.

The precise metrics and tools depend on the live configuration. We aim to collect only the technical information needed to diagnose and improve performance and to apply consent controls where a monitoring tool uses non-essential device storage or personal-data processing that requires consent.

Healthcare Publishing Analytics Transparency

A visit to a page about a condition, medicine, symptom, mental health topic, pregnancy, or other health subject can reveal a sensitive interest even if the visitor does not enter a medical record. Page URLs, search terms, query parameters, form data and event labels should therefore be reviewed before being sent to analytics or advertising platforms.

Our intended approach is not to create identifiable patient or condition profiles from ordinary reading activity. Optional tags should be configured to avoid transmitting personal details, calculator values, free-text form entries, or unnecessary health-related URL parameters. These safeguards must be validated against actual network requests and vendor settings; they cannot be guaranteed by policy wording alone.

Google Services Integration

Depending on the site's current configuration, Google services may include Google Analytics 4, Google Tag Manager, Google AdSense, or related Google measurement and advertising technologies. The earlier public Cookies Policy has referred to Google Analytics and AdSense, and the current Terms and Conditions state that advertising may be delivered through Google AdSense or other partners. The exact live integrations should be confirmed through a tag audit.

Google Consent Mode v2 is a technical framework that communicates consent states to supported Google tags. Its four principal signals are analytics_storage, ad_storage, ad_user_data, and ad_personalization. Consent Mode does not itself obtain consent or guarantee compliance. The EU Digital Markets Act applies to designated gatekeepers and their in-scope services; it should not be described as a universal cookie law requiring every publisher to install Consent Mode. In Basic mode, Google tags are blocked until consent is granted; in Advanced mode, tags may load with denied defaults and send limited cookieless pings. Such pings are still data transmissions and must be assessed and transparently disclosed. See Google's Consent Mode documentation.

Advertising and Targeted Media Disclosures

If advertising is displayed, advertising partners may use cookies, pixels, device identifiers or similar technologies to deliver advertisements, measure ad performance, prevent fraud, limit repetition, or personalise advertising where permitted and enabled. A third-party provider's technology may communicate directly with that provider's servers.

We do not guarantee that an advertisement is clinically appropriate, endorsed by the publisher, or based on a verified health profile. Advertising and sponsorship do not determine the accuracy of editorial medical content. Where the law requires consent or an opt-out, the relevant advertising technologies must respect that choice.

Remarketing and Behavioural Advertising Controls

Remarketing and cross-context behavioural advertising may involve using activity observed across websites or services to select or measure advertisements. These practices are optional and subject to the applicable consent and opt-out rules. We do not intend to use sensitive health-tool inputs or confidential reader submissions to build advertising audiences.

Where a privacy law gives a visitor the right to opt out of sale, sharing, or targeted advertising, the website should provide an accessible method to exercise that right and configure its vendors accordingly. A browser's Global Privacy Control signal may be legally relevant in some U.S. jurisdictions; recognition and application of such signals must be verified in the site's technical configuration.

Embedded Content Technologies

Articles or pages may include third-party content such as video players, maps, social posts, charts, or other embedded resources. When an embed loads, the provider may receive technical information such as your IP address, browser details, the page address, and interaction events, and may set or read its own cookies or similar identifiers.

Where required, third-party embeds should be blocked until you give the relevant consent or should use a privacy-enhanced configuration that genuinely limits data transmission. Once you open or interact with an external provider's content, that provider's own privacy terms may also apply.

Third-Party Vendor Technologies

Third-party services may support hosting, security, analytics, advertising, video playback, social sharing, translation or other features. These vendors may act as processors, independent controllers, or in another role depending on the service and the data flow.

We do not control every technical change made by an external provider. However, use of a third party does not remove our responsibility to assess the service, disclose relevant processing, use appropriate contractual safeguards where required, and configure the integration to respect valid choices. Vendor names and purposes should be maintained in the site's live privacy or consent inventory.

Cross-Border Data Transfers

The website is operated from Bangladesh and may rely on service providers whose systems or personnel are located in other countries. Depending on the services used, technical or personal information may be processed in Bangladesh, the United States, the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or other locations.

Where a law restricts international transfers, we will use a transfer mechanism and safeguards required for the relevant circumstances, such as an adequacy decision, standard contractual clauses, or another legally recognised mechanism where applicable. Transfer arrangements must be confirmed for the actual vendors and destinations; this policy does not claim that a particular transfer mechanism has already been executed.

Healthcare Information Boundaries Notice

Top Medical Health Care Center publishes general health and medical information. The website is not presented as a patient portal, electronic medical-record system, or substitute for a clinical consultation. A cookie is not a medical record by itself, but browsing activity about a health condition can reveal sensitive interests when combined with other information.

Please do not submit patient records, diagnostic reports, prescription details, government identifiers, or confidential health information through general comments, contact forms, calculators, or translation tools. We do not claim HIPAA certification or GDPR certification. Whether a particular health privacy law applies depends on the operator's role, the service and the relevant facts; no certification or legal accreditation is implied by this policy.

Interactive Health Tools and Calculator Technologies

The website may provide educational calculators or similar tools, including BMI, age, water-intake or calorie estimators where available. Such tools produce general estimates and are not diagnostic devices or personalised medical services. They should request only the values needed for the calculation.

Tool behaviour depends on its code and any third-party integration. A calculation may run in the browser, but that should not be assumed without reviewing the code and network traffic. We aim not to use identifiable calculator entries for advertising or audience profiling. Avoid entering names, contact details, patient IDs, medical-record information or other identifying health details. For personal medical decisions, consult a qualified healthcare professional.

Artificial Intelligence and Automated Tools

The website may use automated or AI-assisted features for functions such as translation, content presentation or other reader tools. These features are separate from ordinary cookies unless they also use device storage or tracking technologies.

When the website's AI translation tool is enabled and you choose to use it, selected visible page text and public comments only if you select the option to include them—may be transmitted to an external translation service for processing. Do not submit private messages, patient records, identifying details or confidential health information to that tool. Machine translation may change clinical meaning; the original English text remains the reference version unless the page states otherwise.

Data Minimisation and Privacy Principles

We aim to collect and use only information reasonably necessary for a stated operational purpose. Privacy safeguards should include purpose limitation, access controls, appropriate security, careful vendor selection, restricted retention, and review of data fields sent through tags and scripts.

For health-related pages, minimisation also means checking whether a page URL, event label, search parameter, form field or calculator value could reveal sensitive information. A privacy notice is not a substitute for implementing these controls in the website code and vendor configuration.

Data Retention Principles and Cookie Lifecycles

Session cookies are generally temporary; persistent cookies remain until their stated expiry or deletion. Local storage and similar browser data may remain until a script or the visitor removes it. Third-party providers may apply their own retention periods.

We do not assign a single retention period to every technology. The current cookie inventory should state each known cookie or storage key, provider, purpose, category, and expiry or retention period. Consent records should be retained only as long as reasonably necessary to demonstrate and administer the visitor's choice, subject to applicable law. Some applicable laws may also require specified processing records to be retained for a statutory period; cookie expiry and internal compliance-record retention are different things and should not be confused.

Comprehensive Visitor Rights and Opt-Out Controls

Depending on your location and the law that applies, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, object to, or obtain a copy of personal data; withdraw consent; or opt out of certain advertising-related disclosures. Some laws provide additional rights or apply only to organisations meeting defined scope or threshold tests.

For example, GDPR and UK GDPR rights apply only where those laws govern the relevant processing; CCPA/CPRA rights apply to covered businesses and California residents within the law's scope; Canadian and Australian requirements depend on the applicable federal or provincial framework and the organisation's circumstances. Bangladesh's Personal Data Protection Act, 2026 may also apply to the website operator and relevant processing. To make a request, use the Contact Us page or email us. We may need reasonable information to verify and respond to a request, and statutory exceptions may apply.

Desktop Browser Management Guide

You can manage or delete browser cookies using your browser's privacy controls. Menu labels can change between software versions, so consult your browser's current help documentation if the steps below differ.

Google Chrome: Open Settings, choose Privacy and security, then Third-party cookies or Site settings. Use the controls to block third-party cookies, review site data, or delete browsing data. Microsoft Edge: Open Settings, choose Privacy, search, and services, then select tracking-prevention and cookie controls. Mozilla Firefox: Open Settings, choose Privacy & Security, and review Enhanced Tracking Protection and Cookies and Site Data. Apple Safari on Mac: Open Safari, choose Settings, then Privacy, and manage website tracking and stored website data. Clearing all cookies may sign you out or remove preferences.

Mobile Device Privacy Settings

On iPhone or iPad, open Settings, select Apps (or Safari on earlier iOS versions), choose Safari, and review options such as Prevent Cross-Site Tracking and Block All Cookies. You can also clear website data from Safari settings. For Chrome on Android, open Chrome, select the menu, open Settings, then Site settings or Privacy and security, and manage third-party cookies and browsing data. The exact labels depend on the operating-system and browser version.

Device-level tracking controls do not necessarily erase data held by a third-party provider or replace a site's consent interface. To withdraw a choice for this website, also reopen the site's Privacy Settings control where available.

Protection of Children's Privacy

The website is intended as a general health-information publication and is not designed as a child-directed service. In the United States, COPPA applies to child-directed websites or online services and to general-audience services that have actual knowledge that they collect personal information from a child under 13. COPPA does not simply prohibit every cookie on every website visited by a child; its application depends on the service, the information and the circumstances.

Bangladesh's Personal Data Protection Act, 2026 contains a separate child-related framework and defines a child by reference to a person under 18 unless another age is prescribed. Other jurisdictions may set different ages or requirements. We do not intend to profile or target known minors with behavioural advertising. If you believe a child has submitted personal information without appropriate authorisation, contact us so we can assess the request under applicable law.

Policy Update Protocols

We may update this policy when the website's features, vendors, cookie inventory, consent controls, applicable laws or privacy practices change. The “Last Updated” date at the top of the page should reflect the date of the latest substantive revision.

Where a material change affects the purposes or categories of optional technologies, visitors should be given appropriate notice and, where required, asked for fresh consent. We encourage readers to revisit this page periodically. A policy update does not override a choice that the law requires us to continue respecting.

Related Policies and Resources

This Cookies Policy forms part of a broader transparency framework. The following pages explain how the publication operates, how health information is prepared, and how visitors can contact the team.

The Medical Disclaimer and a standalone FAQ page were not linked here because the corresponding URLs supplied in the original prompt did not resolve during the site review. Add those links only after the pages are published at working URLs.
