In this policy, we refer to all of these technologies as "cookies."
We use cookies if you use the New Medical Center (NMC) Services, including our website and apps, or visit other websites and apps that use the NMC Services. Cookies enable NMC to offer the NMC Services to you and to understand the information we receive about you, including information about your use of other websites and apps, whether or not you are registered or logged in.
This policy explains how we use cookies and the choices you have. Except as otherwise stated in this policy, the Data Policy will apply to our processing of the data that we collect via cookies.
Why do we use cookies?
Cookies help us provide, protect and improve the NMC Services, such as by personalizing content, tailoring and measuring ads, and providing a safer experience. While the cookies that we use may change from time to time as we improve and update the NMC Services, we use them for the following purposes:
Authentication
We use cookies to verify your account and determine when you're logged in so we can make it easier for you to access the NMC Services and show you the appropriate experience and features.
For example, We use cookies to keep you logged in as you navigate between NMC Pages. Cookies also help us remember your browser so you do not have to keep logging in to NMC and so you can more easily log in to NMC via third-party apps and websites.
Security, site, and service integrity
We use cookies to help us keep your account, data, and the NMC Services safe and secure.
For example, Cookies can help us identify and impose additional security measures when someone may be attempting to access an NMC  account without authorization, for instance, by rapidly guessing different passwords. We also use cookies to store information that allows us to recover your account in the event that you forget your password or to require additional authentication if you tell us that your account has been hacked.
We also use cookies to combat activity that violates our policies or otherwise degrades our ability to provide the NMC Services.
For example, Cookies help us fight spam and phishing attacks by enabling us to identify computers that are used to create large numbers of fake NMC accounts. We also use cookies to detect computers infected with malware and to take steps to prevent them from causing further harm. Cookies also help us prevent underage people from registering for NMC  accounts.
Site features and services
We use cookies to enable the functionality that helps us provide the NMC Services.
For example, Cookies help us store preferences, know when you've seen or interacted with NMC Services' content and, provide you with customized content and experiences. For instance, cookies allow us to make suggestions to you and others, and to customize content on third-party sites that integrate our social plugins. We also use cookies to help provide you with content relevant to your locale.
For example, We store information in a cookie that is placed on your browser or device so that you will see the site in your preferred language.
Performance
We use cookies to provide you with the best experience possible.
For example, Cookies help us route traffic between servers and understand how quickly NMC Services load for different people. Cookies also help us record the ratio and dimensions of your screen and windows and know whether you've enabled high-contrast mode so that we can render our sites and apps correctly.
Analytics and research
We use cookies to better understand how people use the NMC Services so that we can improve them.
For example, Cookies can help us understand how people use the NMC service, analyze which parts of the NMC Services people find most useful and engaging, and identify features that could be improved.
