Last Updated: June 20, 2025

CORDOC LLC ("us", "we", or "our") uses cookies on the CliniWiz website (the "Service"). By using the Service, you consent to the use of cookies. Our Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use cookies, how third-parties we may partner with may use cookies on the Service, your choices regarding cookies, and further information about cookies.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small pieces of text sent by your web browser by a website you visit. A cookie file is stored in your web browser and allows the Service or a third-party to recognize you and make your next visit easier and the Service more useful to you. Cookies can be "persistent" or "session" cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your personal computer or mobile device when you go offline, while session cookies are deleted as soon as you close your web browser.

How CliniWiz (CORDOC LLC) Uses Cookies

When you use and access the Service, we may place a number of cookie files in your web browser. We use cookies for the following purposes:

• Essential Cookies: To enable certain functions of the Service, such as to authenticate users and prevent fraudulent use of user accounts. These are necessary for the Service to function correctly. For example, we use cookies provided by Clerk for user authentication and session management.
• Performance and Analytics Cookies: To track information how the Service is used so that we can make improvements. We may use analytics cookies to track information such as how users interact with our AI-powered medical answer search engine, what types of searches are common, and the perceived usefulness of the answers backed by peer-reviewed medical literature. This helps us improve the user experience and the relevance of our search results.
• Functionality Cookies: To remember choices you make when you use our Service, such as your user preferences or display settings. This allows us to provide you with a more personal experience and to avoid you having to re-enter your preferences every time you visit the Service.
• Personalization Cookies: We may use personalization cookies, potentially in conjunction with services like Recombee, to tailor the content and information that we display to you, and to otherwise personalize your experience while interacting with the Service. This could include providing you with more relevant search suggestions or related medical literature based on your past activity.

Third-Party Cookies

In addition to our own cookies, we may also use various third-parties cookies to report usage statistics of the Service, deliver advertisements on and through the Service, and so on. These include:

• Clerk: Used for user authentication and management. Clerk may set cookies to manage user sessions and remember login status. You can review Clerk's privacy policy for more information on their cookie usage.
• Stripe: If you engage in any transactions on CliniWiz (e.g., for premium features), Stripe may use cookies to process payments securely and prevent fraud. Please refer to Stripe's cookie policy for details.
• Recombee: If we use Recombee for personalized recommendations, Recombee may use cookies to track your interactions and provide tailored suggestions. Consult Recombee's privacy and cookie policies for more information.
• Groq: Our AI-powered search may utilize services from Groq. While primarily an API service, any associated web components or diagnostic tools might use cookies. We will ensure transparency regarding such usage.
• Other Analytics Providers: We may use other third-party analytics services that use cookies to collect and analyze information about your use of the Service and report on activities and trends.

Please note that we do not control these third-party cookies, and their use is governed by the privacy policies of the third parties concerned.
