What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to site owners. Similar technologies — such as local storage and session storage — serve comparable purposes and are covered by this policy.
This Cookie Policy explains how ExpertMD Pte Ltd ("ExpertMD", "we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on ExpertMD. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
Cookies We Use
We use a small set of cookies and browser storage to keep the platform working and to understand how it is being used. We do not use cookies for advertising or cross-site tracking.
| Name / Key | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| token | Essential | Stores your authentication token so you remain signed in between page loads. | Until sign-out |
| panel_dismissed | Functional | Remembers whether you have dismissed a side panel on the public feed, so it is not shown again in the same session. | Session |
| Browser cache | Performance | Your browser may cache static assets (fonts, scripts) from third-party CDNs (Google Fonts, Tailwind CDN) to speed up page loads. | Varies by browser |
Essential cookies are required for the platform to function. You cannot opt out of these while using the Service.
Functional cookies remember your in-session preferences (such as dismissed panels) and are stored in sessionStorage, which is cleared automatically when you close your browser tab.
Performance cookies help pages load faster by caching assets locally in your browser. They do not identify you personally.
Third-Party Cookies
We load assets from third-party services to deliver certain features. These services may set their own cookies or cache assets on your device in accordance with their own privacy policies.
- Google Fonts — used to serve the various typefaces we use. Google's privacy policy governs any data collected: policies.google.com/privacy
- CSS and Media CDN — used to deliver properly formatted user interfaces. No personal data is collected by this service.
We do not currently use any third-party analytics, advertising, or social tracking cookies on this platform.
Managing Cookies
You can control and delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- View the cookies stored on your device
- Delete all or individual cookies
