Cookies & Storage Keys Used by MedBharat
Under the EU ePrivacy Directive and GDPR Article 6, MedBharat categorizes all browser storage tokens used on our platform as follows:

| phm_cookie_consent | Functional | 1 Year | Stores your acknowledgment of this Cookie Policy so the banner is not repeated on every visit. |
Zero Third-Party Advertising Trackers
Unlike standard consumer web services, MedBharat does NOT deploy commercial ad trackers, marketing pixels, or data analytics brokers (such as Facebook Pixel, Google AdSense, or data scrapers).
Because MedBharat processes Protected Health Information (PHI), our security architecture explicitly excludes third-party advertising scripts from observing page navigation, clinical entries, or prescription workflows.
