Cookies Policy
Last updated: April 18, 2026
CentaurMD ("CentaurMD", "we", "us") uses cookies and similar technologies on centaurmd.ca (the "Website") and in connection with public-facing pages and access points to the CentaurMD clinical application (the "Application"). This Cookies Policy explains how and why these technologies are used.
Cookies are small text files stored on your browser or device when you visit a website. Similar technologies, including local storage, session storage, and browser-based identifiers, may also be used to maintain sessions, remember preferences, and support secure operation of the Service.
Cookies and similar technologies do not typically identify an individual directly. However, information collected through them may be combined with other information we hold. For more details on how personal information is handled, please refer to the CentaurMD Privacy Policy.
Types of technologies we use
Cookies may be "session" cookies or "persistent" cookies. Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device until they expire or are deleted.
CentaurMD may also use local storage, session storage, and similar browser technologies to maintain application state, support workflow continuity, and reduce repeated input.
Necessary or essential technologies
CentaurMD uses essential technologies required for the Website and Application entry points to function. These may include authentication, session management, security controls, fraud prevention, abuse detection, and system integrity protections.
These technologies are required for secure access to the Service and cannot be disabled without impacting functionality.
Functionality and preference technologies
CentaurMD may use persistent technologies to remember user preferences, interface settings, and non-clinical workflow configurations. These improve usability by reducing repetitive actions and maintaining a consistent user experience.
These technologies do not store or process clinical content independently but may support workflow efficiency within the browser environment.
Analytics and performance technologies
Where enabled on public-facing Website pages, CentaurMD may use analytics technologies to understand general traffic patterns, performance metrics, and feature usage.
This may include tools such as Google Tag Manager or Google Analytics 4, configured to collect aggregate, non-identifying usage data. CentaurMD does not intend for analytics tools to collect or process patient-identifying clinical information.
Analytics use is limited to improving Website performance, usability, and public-facing content. Clinical data processed within the Application is not used for advertising or general analytics purposes.
Third-party technologies
CentaurMD may rely on third-party service providers for infrastructure, analytics, authentication, and related operational functions. These providers may set or access their own cookies or similar technologies in accordance with their own privacy policies and contractual obligations with CentaurMD.
Where applicable, CentaurMD maintains agreements with such providers to support compliance with applicable Alberta and Canadian privacy requirements, including the Health Information Act (HIA) where relevant.
