Cookie Policy

This policy explains how Sparkmed uses cookies and similar technologies, and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They let the site remember your actions and preferences over time, keep you signed in, and help us understand how the Service is used. We also use similar technologies such as local storage, which work in the same way.

2. The cookies we use

Essential cookies

These are required for the Service to work. They keep you signed in, maintain your session, remember your cookie choices and help keep the platform secure. The Service cannot function properly without them, so they do not require consent.

Analytics cookies

These help us understand how candidates use Sparkmed, which features are used and where the experience can be improved. We use this information in aggregated form to make the product better. These are set only where you have given consent.

Marketing cookies

Where used, these help us measure the effectiveness of our communications and reach people who may be interested in Sparkmed. We do not sell your data and we do not show third-party advertising inside the platform. These are set only where you have given consent.

3. Third-party cookies

Some cookies are set by the third-party services we rely on to run Sparkmed, such as Stripe for secure payments. These providers process data in line with their own privacy and cookie policies.

4. Managing your preferences

You can accept or reject non-essential cookies through the cookie controls provided in the application, and you can change your choice at any time. You can also control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies may stop parts of the Service from working.

5. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the cookies we use change. When we make material changes we will update the date at the top of this page.
