COOKIES POLICY
At Mustah Care, we believe in being clear and open about how we collect and use data related to you. In the spirit of transparency, this policy provides detailed information about how and when we use cookies on our website.
1. What are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites that you visit. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies help websites function, remember preferences, and understand how visitors use the site. At Mustah Care, we use cookies to enhance your experience in our "Health A-Z" and "Ingredient Lab" hubs.
2.What are “similar technologies”?
In addition to cookies, websites may use:
- Pixels / web beacons (small files that help measure page views, email opens, or ad performance)
- Local storage (browser storage that can remember preferences)
- Tags/SDKs (tools that help run analytics, performance monitoring, or advertising)
Health websites commonly use these technologies to support analytics and site functionality.
3. How Mustah Care Uses Cookies
As a health and science-led platform, we use cookies for the following purposes:
- Essential Functionality: These are necessary for the website to function, such as allowing you to navigate the site or access secure areas like our shop.
- Run the website securely and reliably (essential functions)
- Remember your preferences (language, region, cookie choices)
- Improve user experience (faster load, smoother navigation)
- Research and Analytics: We use cookies (such as Google Analytics) to understand which health topics—like "Skin Longevity" or "Gut Health"—are most important to our readers in the various countries. This helps us prioritize our research and content updates.
- Preferences: These cookies allow our site to remember your choices (such as your preferred language or region) to provide a more personalized experience.
- Support marketing/advertising and measure effectiveness of campaigns
- Product Experience: If you view our product, cookies help us understand if you found the clinical information helpful or if you need more details.
4. Types of Cookies We Use
A) Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies
These cookies are required for core site functions—security, page navigation, form submission, and (if enabled) ecommerce functions such as cart and checkout. Without these cookies, the site may not work properly.
Examples of what they do:
- maintain sessions and security protections
- remember items in your cart (if shopping is enabled)
- prevent fraud and abuse (if applicable)
B) Functional Cookies
These cookies remember choices you make and improve your experience (e.g., preferences, region selection, layout).
C) Analytics / Performance Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors use our website—pages viewed, time spent, clicks, and navigation patterns—so we can improve content and usability.
If we use tools like Google Analytics (often installed via plugins such as Site Kit), those tools may place cookies to measure site usage. For more on how Google uses cookies, see Google’s cookie information.
D) Advertising / Targeting Cookies
If we run advertising or remarketing, advertising cookies may be used to show more relevant ads, limit repeated ads, and measure ad performance. Advertising may involve us and third-party partners.
If you do not run ads now, you can still keep this section (it future-proofs the policy) and clarify that advertising cookies may be used only when advertising is enabled.
5.Third-party cookies and partners
Some cookies on our site may be set by third parties (for example, analytics providers, embedded video players, social media tools, or advertising partners). These third parties may collect information about your visit, including the pages you view, and use it according to their own privacy policies.
6. Your Choices and Control
You can control cookies in several ways:
A) Cookie banner / preferences tool (if shown)
If you see a cookie banner on our site, you can accept, reject, or customize non-essential cookies through that tool. Some sites also provide a “manage cookies” link for non-essential cookies.
B) Browser settings
Most browsers let you:
- delete cookies
- block cookies
- limit third-party cookies
Note: Blocking essential cookies may affect site functionality, especially shopping features (cart/checkout).
C) Interest-based advertising opt-outs (if advertising cookies are enabled)
You can learn about choices for certain interest-based advertising through industry opt-out programs such as the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) or the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI).
7. Pharmaceutical Confidentiality
Consistent with the ethics of a Licensed Pharmacist, we do not sell your data or use cookies to track your personal medical history. Our data collection is strictly for the purpose of improving health education and user experience.
8. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology or data protection laws. We encourage you to check this page periodically for the latest information.
