This cookie policy (this “Cookie Policy”) of American Medical Center PLC, a company registered in Ethiopia (“AMC” “we”, “us”, or “our”) is part of our Privacy Policy, which also includes additional details about our collection and use of information. Capitalized terms used in this Cookie Policy but not defined have the same meaning as in our Privacy Policy.
Cookies are small data files that are downloaded to your device when you visit a website or application. When you return to the website, or another website that recognizes that cookie, the cookie is sent to that site to enhance your experience by remembering your preferences, providing tailored advertising, helping you navigate more efficiently or keeping you logged in.
The Wastina Website may use similar technologies to cookies, including pixel tags, mobile device identifiers, web beacons and server logs to understand how you are using the Wastina Website and provide information tailored to you and your interests. These technologies often take the form of small, transparent graphic images placed on a web page or in an email. They work with cookies and capture data like your IP address, when you viewed the page or email and what device you were using. Where we use web beacons in the emails we send to you, these are used to enable us to assess the level of engagement our emails receive by measuring information such as the delivery rates, open rates and click through rates which our emails achieve.
There are different types of cookies:
A cookie is a small piece of data (text file) that a website—when visited by a user—asks your browser to store on your device in order to remember information about you, such as your language preference or login information. Those cookies are set by us and called first-party cookies. We also use third-party cookies—which are cookies from a domain different than the domain of the website you are visiting—for our efforts to better serve you. More specifically, we use cookies and other tracking technologies for the following purposes:
These cookies are necessary for the Website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for Services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not then work. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.
When you access the Wastina Website, view or interact with our Content or otherwise communicate with us digitally, the Wastina Website and our partners use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to:
We may also use cookies for tailored advertising purposes. For example, we, or third-party vendors, may use your information to provide you with tailored advertising on third-party sites, including social sites. These advertisements are either: (i) “contextual” (meaning they are presented due to the webpage that you are viewing); or (ii) “behavioral advertising” or “interest-based advertising” (i.e., where advertisements are shown to you based upon your interests which we have inferred from your information including demographic, geographic, and interest-based data). We may use tailored advertising to specifically include or exclude individuals who have registered for our products and services that are most relevant to you.
We may match your browsing activity on one device, such as your mobile phone, with your browsing activity on another device, such as your tablet. To allow us to do this, our preferred technology partners may share information, including your browsing patterns, geo-location, and device identifiers, and we will match that information to the information in our user base as a whole by identifying the browser and devices that appear to be used by the same person. To learn more about how we share your information, please refer to our Privacy Policy.
When you: (i) sign in to the Wastina Website using a social site or other websites; (ii) access social sites using the Wastina Website or other websites; and/or (iii) submit content to social sites or other websites using the Wastina Website; that social site or other website may use cookies and similar technologies to collect data about user behavior for their own purposes. This use of cookies is in line with that third party’s own cookie policy, over which we have no control.
We have set out below the ways you can manage your cookie preferences and opt out of cookies on your browser and your mobile device.
You are welcome to block the use of some or all of the cookies and similar technologies we use on our Website. However, please be aware that doing so may impair some features and/or services on our Website and its functionality or may even render some or all of it unusable. Additionally, added functionality which is provided by personalization technologies will likely not work—impairing our ability to provide content or products which are most relevant to you.
You should also be aware that clearing all cookies from your browser will also delete any cookies that are storing your preferences, for example, whether you have accepted cookies on a website or any cookies that are blocking other cookies.
You can accept or reject some or all cookies (for example, blocking all third-party cookies) by adjusting your browser settings. Most browsers will tell you how to stop accepting new cookies, how to be notified when you receive a new cookie, and how to disable existing cookies. However, please be aware that when you disable cookies, some features and services on the Wastina Website may not function properly and may cancel opt-outs that rely on cookies, such as web analytics. If you do not know how to do this, the links below set out information about how to change your browser settings for some of the most commonly used web browsers:
Some browsers, such as Chrome and Firefox, allow you to change your settings to browse in ‘incognito’ mode, limiting the amount of data placed on your machine and automatically deleting any persistent cookies placed on your device when you finish your browsing session.
To clear cookies that have previously been placed on your browser, you should select the option to clear your browsing history and ensure that the option to delete or clear cookies is included when you do so.
By setting your email account to display emails as text only, you may be able to prevent the use of some web beacons.
We may update or modify this Cookie Policy from time to time in response to changing legal, technical, or business developments. We will obtain your consent to any material Cookie Policy changes if and where this is required by applicable data protection laws.
