Things saved in your browser

Some features save small items in your browser's local storage instead of on our servers. They stay on your device and are not cookies. Examples:

  • your health log readings
  • the private code for reading a nurse's reply
  • your chosen reply language and whether you agreed to upload files

Other services

The site loads its font from Google Fonts, so your browser contacts Google's servers, which see your IP address. If you choose to show a map, it is loaded from OpenStreetMap in a frame, and OpenStreetMap's own cookie and privacy rules apply inside that frame. We use neither for advertising or tracking.
