Cookie Policy

Last updated: September 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies when you visit the PharmaSoft website. It describes what information we collect, how we use it, and how you can manage your choices.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your browser when you visit a website. They are widely used to make a site work properly, remember your preferences, and improve your experience.

Cookies and Technologies We Use

  • Strictly Necessary Cookies

    Required for core functionality. For example, they enable secure sign-in to the admin panel and keep that session active. The site cannot function properly without these, and they do not require consent.

  • Functional Storage

    We use your browser’s local storage to remember your preferences. For example, your cookie choice and your light/dark theme selection are stored this way. In addition, when you close the training announcement, that choice is kept in your browser’s session storage; it is deleted when you close the tab, so the announcement is shown again on your next visit. These entries contain no personal data and are not shared with third parties.

  • Analytics (Google Analytics) Cookies

    We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how our site is used. These cookies measure which pages are viewed, how long visits last, approximate location, and the device and browser type. They are only loaded if you give your consent through the cookie banner.

  • Third-Party (YouTube) Cookies

    Our site contains embedded YouTube videos. When you load a video or accept all cookies, YouTube/Google may set tracking cookies. These are only loaded with your explicit consent.

Third-Party Video Content

Without your consent, embedded YouTube videos are not loaded; an informational placeholder is shown instead. You can use the "Load Video" option to watch a specific video, or accept all cookies. This only happens with your explicit choice.

Google Analytics in Detail

We use Google Analytics 4, provided by Google, to measure site traffic statistically. It is activated only with your explicit consent: if you choose “Decline” in the cookie banner, the measurement code is never loaded into your browser. If you accept and later change your mind, measurement stops immediately and no further data is sent.

  • Cookies Used and Retention Periods

    The “_ga” cookie is used to distinguish one visitor from another and is stored for 2 years by default. The cookie beginning with “_ga_” preserves session state and is likewise stored for 2 years by default.

  • Data Processed

    Pages viewed, time spent on a page, the source that brought you to the site, device and browser information, and an approximate (city-level) location derived from your IP address. Google Analytics 4 does not log or store your IP address; it is used only momentarily to estimate location.

  • Purpose and Scope

    The resulting data is used only in aggregate form, to improve our content and user experience. We do not attempt to identify you from this data and we do not use it for advertising. The data may be processed on Google infrastructure located outside your country.

  • Withdrawing Your Consent

    You can stop measurement at any time by changing your cookie preference.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You can accept or decline cookies through the cookie banner shown on your first visit. You can also delete or block cookies at any time via your browser settings. If you decline cookies, the site’s core features continue to work; only Google Analytics measurement is disabled and third-party videos will not load automatically. To change your choice at any time later, use the “Change Cookie Settings” button below.
