Last Updated: October 16, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how cookies and similar technologies may be used when you visit the Erfan MD website at erfan-md.site. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
The website provides WhatsApp-related educational articles, pairing-code request functionality, a contact form, a newsletter subscription form, and links to other websites. This policy concerns technologies associated with visiting and using the Erfan MD website. It does not mean that the website’s cookies contain your WhatsApp conversations or that the website itself operates every bot or service described in its educational material.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website or a service connected to it can store in your browser. They may help maintain technical functions, remember a preference, support security, or provide information about how a website is used.
Similar technologies can include browser storage, pixels, tags, scripts, and other identifiers. These technologies do not all work in the same way, and not every technology necessarily stores information as a conventional cookie.
Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting (first-party cookies) or by an independent service operating on or through the website (third-party cookies).
2. How Cookies Relate to the Erfan MD Website
Erfan MD is a website containing public pages, technical guides, and interactive website features. The technologies involved depend on the feature you use and the website components that are enabled.
Website pages and educational guides
When you visit an article or another public page, the website infrastructure and its enabled components may process technical information needed to deliver the page, maintain security, or keep a feature working correctly. A page view does not, by itself, mean that optional analytics or advertising cookies have been used.
WhatsApp pairing-code request interface
The pairing interface lets a visitor select a connection server and submit a WhatsApp phone number to request a pairing code. When a request is submitted, the number is sent through the website’s request process to the selected connection server.
The submitted phone number is form data, not inherently a cookie. The selected server may process request information according to its own software, operator, logging, and retention practices. This Cookie Policy does not establish what cookies or records an independent connection server uses. Read our Privacy Policy before submitting a number.
Contact form
The Contact page provides a form for sending an enquiry. Submissions are processed through an external form-processing service. That service may receive the information entered in the form and technical information needed to process or protect the submission. The handling of the submitted information is explained further in the Privacy Policy.
The existence of a contact form does not automatically mean that advertising or analytics cookies are used. Any cookies associated with the form depend on the technologies loaded by the actual form integration.
Newsletter subscription form
The website displays a newsletter subscription form. When someone subscribes, the submitted email address and subscription status may be processed to handle that request and any updates the person has asked to receive.
The exact handling of newsletter data depends on the subscription form’s current configuration. This policy does not name a particular mailing provider or claim that a specific newsletter-related cookie is active when the provider and its technologies have not been verified.
Links to external websites
Some pages link to external websites and services, including WhatsApp-related resources. When you follow an external link, the destination website may use its own cookies and similar technologies under its own policies.
A link displayed on an Erfan MD page does not, by itself, establish that the linked service has placed a cookie in your browser while you remain on erfan-md.site. External websites control their own technologies and data-handling practices.
3. Types of Cookies and Similar Technologies
The categories below explain the purposes different technologies can serve. They are not a claim that every category or every third-party service is active on every visit. Actual use depends on the website’s enabled components and integrations.
Strictly necessary and functional technologies
These technologies support functions that are necessary for a website or a particular feature to operate. Depending on the active setup, they may be associated with page delivery, technical security, form operation, session handling, or protection against abuse.
Some website functions may not work correctly if a required cookie or related technology is blocked. Necessary technologies should not be used as a justification for unrelated optional tracking.
Preference technologies
Where a feature allows the website to remember a visitor’s selection, a cookie or similar technology may be used to retain that preference. The available preferences depend on the website features and configuration in place at the time of the visit.
Analytics and performance technologies
An analytics service, when enabled, may use cookies, scripts, or related identifiers to measure activity such as pages visited, referral information, browser or device characteristics, and interactions with website features. This information can help a site operator understand performance and identify technical problems.
This policy does not identify a named analytics provider as a confirmed active technology. The fact that analytics is described here does not mean that a particular analytics service or its cookies are currently enabled on Erfan MD.
Advertising technologies
When third-party advertising is enabled and ads are served, the advertising providers involved may use cookies or similar technologies to deliver ads, limit repeated displays, measure performance, prevent invalid activity, or select ads according to the applicable settings and consent choices.
Depending on the provider and configuration, these technologies may process identifiers, browser or device information, page or ad interactions, and technical information such as an IP address. The relevant providers’ own terms and privacy disclosures also apply to their processing.
This policy does not assert that a particular advertising network, advertising cookie, or remarketing service is currently active. If advertising products such as Google AdSense are enabled, this policy should be read alongside the disclosures applicable to the technologies actually being used. Information about Google’s data practices is available in How Google uses data when you use our partners’ sites or apps.
Security and abuse prevention
Website infrastructure or an enabled security component may use cookies or similar technologies to support site protection, identify suspicious requests, or help prevent abuse. Other security information may be recorded in server logs without being stored in a browser cookie.
4. What Information May Be Involved?
Depending on the technology actually used, cookies or similar technologies may be associated with information such as:
- Browser type, version, or general device information.
- Pages or website resources requested.
- Approximate visit times or interaction events.
- Referring page or website information.
- Session identifiers or stored website preferences.
- Cookie-consent choices, where a consent feature is available.
- Technical identifiers or information used by an enabled third-party service.
The information involved depends on the relevant feature and provider. These examples are descriptions of possible technical data, not a statement that every item is collected during every visit.
Information entered into a form is different from cookie data. For example, the phone number submitted through the pairing interface and the details entered into the Contact form are handled as submitted information. Review the Privacy Policy for more information about those data flows.
5. Third-Party Technologies
Some website functions depend on external providers. These may include the service that processes Contact form submissions, a newsletter provider if one is configured, hosting or security infrastructure, or advertising and analytics providers if those services are enabled.
An external provider may process information under its own privacy policy and technical settings. Erfan MD does not control an independent provider’s systems, cookie lifetimes, or practices outside the parts of the website that we operate.
We do not assign a specific cookie name, lifetime, or provider to a service without a reliable basis for doing so. Exact technologies can vary with browser conditions, website component versions, and active integrations.
When you visit an external website, use its published privacy and cookie information to understand how that provider handles your information.
6. How Long Do Cookies Remain?
Cookie lifetimes depend on the cookie’s purpose and the service that created it.
A session cookie is generally intended to remain for a browser session and may be removed when that session ends. A persistent cookie may remain until its specified expiry or until it is removed by the user or the relevant service.
We do not state a single retention period for all cookies because different technologies can have different lifetimes. Information held by an external provider or recorded in server logs may also have a retention period separate from any browser cookie.
7. Your Cookie Choices
You can manage many cookies through your browser’s privacy or site settings. Depending on the browser, you may be able to:
- View or delete cookies and other stored site data.
- Block cookies from individual websites.
- Restrict third-party cookies.
- Configure the browser to notify you when cookies are being stored.
- Clear some or all site data when closing the browser.
The exact controls differ between browsers and may change as browser software is updated. Blocking cookies can affect features that rely on them.
Where a cookie-preference control is made available on the website, you may use it to manage the choices it supports. The options available depend on the consent tool and the technologies actually configured. Browser controls and a website consent tool may not provide identical controls over every type of processing.
Deleting a cookie from your browser does not necessarily delete information that a website or third-party provider has already received or retained. Requests about personal information should be directed through the contact details below and handled under the Privacy Policy and applicable law.
8. Consent and Applicable Requirements
Rules for cookies and similar technologies vary by location and by the type of information or tracking involved. Where applicable law requires prior consent for optional cookies or tracking technologies, those technologies should be used in accordance with the applicable consent requirements.
Technologies that are strictly necessary for a requested website function may be treated differently from optional analytics or advertising technologies. Their classification depends on their actual purpose and the applicable legal requirements.
Publishing this policy does not, on its own, create a cookie-consent mechanism. Any consent banner, preference centre, or blocking behavior depends on the consent technology actually installed and configured on the website.
9. Children’s Privacy
The Erfan MD website is intended for people seeking technical information and tools related to WhatsApp. It is not designed as a service specifically directed at children.
We do not knowingly use cookies for the purpose of collecting personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted personal information through the website, please contact us so the matter can be reviewed under our Privacy Policy and applicable law.
10. Security and Privacy
Cookies and similar technologies do not, by themselves, make an account or website completely secure. Keep your browser and device updated, protect your credentials, and avoid submitting information you do not need to provide.
Do not submit passwords, WhatsApp verification codes, pairing codes, session files, or other authentication credentials through the Contact form or in public comments.
For details about information submitted through website forms, the pairing-code interface, or other website interactions, read our Privacy Policy.
11. Changes to This Cookie Policy
This policy may be updated when the website’s functions, hosting arrangements, form integrations, newsletter configuration, security components, analytics, or advertising technologies change.
If a new third-party technology is enabled, its actual data practices should be reviewed so that the website’s disclosures remain accurate. We will update this page when a material change makes a revision appropriate and change the “Last Updated” date at the top.
You should review this page periodically for updates. The specific technologies encountered during a visit may depend on the configuration in place at that time.
