Medly AI Cookie Policy
Last updated: July 2025
1. Scope & Relationship to Other Policies
1.1. Who we are
Medly AI Limited ("Medly AI", "we", "us", "our") is a company registered in England and Wales (Company No. 15110302) and the controller responsible for any personal data collected through cookies and similar technologies operated in connection with our services.
1.2. What this Cookie Policy covers
This policy explains how we deploy and allow our select partners to deploy cookies, software development kits (SDKs), pixels, local- storage objects and other technologies that store or access information on your device (collectively "Cookies") when you: • visit www.medlyai.com or any sub-domain that links to this notice ("Site"); • use the Medly AI mobile or tablet app downloaded from an official app store ("App"); and • interact with embedded Medly AI content (for example, our payment pages or support pop-ups) that may appear on third-party sites [and our communications with you].
The Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 (as amended) ("PECR") apply to all of these delivery channels, not just traditional websites, whenever information is written to or read from a user's equipment.
When you use or interact with our Site, App, content and communications (and where required by applicable law), you have the option to accept, reject or adjust most of the categories of Cookies through our cookie consent management tool. You can modify these settings or withdraw your consent at any time at this link. Details of the cookies which we use (including third-party cookies and the partners with whom we may share your data) and their purposes are described via the link [and as set out below in section 3]:
1.3. How this policy fits with our other legal documents
This Cookie Policy supplements and should be read together with: • our Privacy Policy, which explains in detail how Medly AI processes personal data (including the personal data processed by Cookies); and • our Terms of Use, which set out the contractual rules for accessing our platform.
The Privacy Policy remains the primary document for matters such as lawful bases, data-subject rights and international transfers, whereas this notice focuses on the specific technologies that trigger consent or information duties under PECR.
1.4. Personal-data context
Under UK GDPR, identifiers like cookie IDs, advertising IDs and device fingerprints qualify as personal data whenever they can be combined with other information to single out or profile an individual. Consequently, where a Cookie allows us—or any third party working on our behalf—to recognise you, the processing principles in our Privacy Policy apply alongside the PECR rules summarised here.
1.5. How to contact us
If you have any questions about this Policy or our wider use of cookies, you can reach our Data Protection Officer at contact@medlyai.com or write to 85 Great Portland Street, London, W1W 7LT, United Kingdom.
2. What are cookies and "similar technologies"?
Cookies are only one of several ways an online service can store or read information from a user's device. Under PECR the same rules apply to any such "storage and access technologies," whether they sit in a web page, an email, a mobile app or a connected-TV SDK. The definitions below explain the main techniques you will meet on Medly AI.
2.1. HTTP cookies
Small text files sent by a website and returned by the browser on subsequent requests. They may be session‑based (deleted when the browser closes) or persistent, and may be first‑party (.medlyai.com) or third‑party.
2.2. Web storage & other browser APIs
localStorage, sessionStorage, IndexedDB and Service‑Worker caches hold larger values than cookies and do not accompany every HTTP request, but are regulated in the same way.
2.3. Tracking pixels
A 1 × 1 transparent image embedded in a page or email that records the device details, IP address and any associated IDs when it is fetched.
2.4. Mobile‑app SDKs & advertising IDs
Third‑party SDKs in native apps may read or write local data or access platform advertising identifiers (IDFA, GAID) for analytics or marketing.
2.5. Device fingerprinting
Combining browser or hardware attributes to derive a statistically unique identifier without writing to storage. The ICO treats this as tracking technology requiring consent.
3. Cookie inventory, purpose & retention
You can find more information about the individual Cookies we and our partners use, the purposes for which we use them and how long they are stored for [in the table below/link].
If you have given consent through our Cookie settings (where available), we may share information from our Cookies with select partners for the purposes of performance metrics, audience selection and targeted advertisement. More information can be found in our Privacy Policy.
