Use of Cookies
Medic-CE.com, LLC may use cookies to personalize or enhance
your user experience. A cookie is a
small text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or
deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a Web
Server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience
feature to save you time. For example,
if you personalize a web page, or navigate within a site, a cookie helps the
site to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. Hence, this simplifies the process of
delivering relevant content and eases site navigation by providing and saving
your preferences and login information as well as providing personalized
functionality.
Medic-CE.com, LLC reserves the right to share aggregated
site statistics with partner companies, but does not allow other companies to
place cookies on our website unless there is a temporary, overriding customer
value (such as merging into Medic-CE.com a site that relies on third-party
cookies).
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept
cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies. If
you reject cookies by changing your browser settings then be aware that this may
disable some of the functionality on our Website.

Use of Web Beacons or GIF Files
Medic-CE.com, LLC Web pages may contain electronic images
known as Web beacons – sometimes also called single-pixel gifs – that allow Medic-CE.com,
LLC to count users who have visited those pages and to deliver co-branded

Some of these Web beacons may be placed by third party

campaigns or email communications. These
Web beacons may be used by these service providers to place a persistent cookie
on your computer. This allows the

or emails and compile anonymous information in relation to those page views,
which in turn enables us and our service providers to learn which
advertisements and emails bring you to our website and how you use the site. Medic-CE.com, LLC prohibits Web beacons from
