This site is deliberately light on tracking. There is no advertising network on it and nothing here follows you around the internet afterwards.
A cookie is a small file a site asks your browser to keep. Some are load-bearing: without them the site cannot tell one page view from the next, so it cannot keep you signed in. Others are optional, and those are the ones worth being careful about.
We use very few of either, and none for advertising.
These cannot be switched off without breaking the thing you came for.
| Purpose | Why it exists |
|---|---|
| Session and sign-in | Keeps you signed in as you move between pages. Without it every click would log you out |
| Security | Protects forms from automated abuse and helps prevent cross-site request forgery |
| Preferences | Remembers small choices, such as a banner you have already dismissed, so you are not asked twice |
We look at aggregate traffic to see which pages are useful and which are not. It tells us that a page was read and roughly how people moved through the site.
Worth stating explicitly, because the absence is the point:
If any of that ever changes, this page changes first and we will say so plainly rather than quietly widening a definition.
Once you are signed in to Freemi itself, the storage in play is functional: keeping your session alive, remembering which business you are working in, and holding the access key for the administration console. None of it is analytics and none of it is advertising.
Patient information is never held in a cookie. It stays in the database, behind the access controls described in the privacy policy.
Every browser lets you view, block and clear cookies, usually under privacy settings. Blocking the strictly necessary ones will stop you being able to sign in, because the app will no longer be able to tell that it is you; they will be set again next time you do.
For the specifics of what we process and how long we keep it, ask us and we will put it in writing.
If your practice has a specific question, or your own advisers need something in writing for a due-diligence pack, email us and you will get a written answer from someone who knows the system rather than a link back to this page.
