What does the term "cookies" mean and what are their functions?

The websites you visit may create so-called cookies. During the visit to the website, Google Analytics, Google AdWords, Facebook, and Hotjar cookies are placed. Cookies facilitate online navigation by saving browsing data. With the help of cookies, websites can:

1. Keep you logged in
2. Remember the website settings
3. Offer you locally relevant content

Cookies, pixel tags, and similar technologies (collectively referred to as "cookies") are small alphanumeric information packages or data files sent by a web server with varying content. When visiting a website, any internet-enabled device, such as your computer, smartphone, or tablet, downloads and stores them.

There are many types of cookies. They all function similarly, but there are slight differences between them.

To provide a personalized service, the provider places a small data packet on the user's computer via cookies and reads it during later visits. If the browser returns a previously saved cookie, the service provider managing the cookie can link the user's current visit to previous ones. The use of cookies allows certain user data to be retrieved and internet usage to be tracked. With cookies, the user's interests, internet usage habits, and website visit history can be accurately determined. Since cookies function as a type of tag that enables the website to recognize returning visitors, they can also store the username and password valid for that site. If the user's browser returns a previously saved cookie during a website visit, the provider that sent it can link the current visit to previous ones. However, since cookies are tied to a specific domain, this can only be done for its own content.

What types of cookies are there?

1. Necessary cookies. These cookies do not identify you individually.
2. Performance cookies. These cookies do not identify you individually.
3. Functional cookies. The information collected by such cookies may include personal data that you have provided.
4. Targeting or advertising cookies. Most of these cookies track users through their device ID or IP address, so they can collect personal data.
5. Third-party cookies. Depending on the type of relevant third-party cookies used, the information collected by these cookies may include personal data.

How long do we store cookies?

Websites may use two different types of cookies regarding their duration:

1. Session cookies. These are temporary cookies that remain on your device until you leave the website.
2. Persistent cookies. These cookies remain on your device for a much longer period or until manually deleted (how long the cookie stays on your device depends on its duration or "lifetime" and the browser settings). Persistent cookies with a specific expiration date are stored on the computer until deleted or until their expiration date.

What cookies do we use when visiting the clinic's website?

When visiting the www.ie.helvetic-clinics.com website, the web server does not record user data. The website contains a Google tracking code, and the use of cookies is related to this. Accordingly, Revay Dental Clinic Zrt. provides the following information about the data processing related to logging by external service providers:

The portal's HTML code contains links to external servers that are independent of Revay Dental Clinic Zrt. The external service provider's server is directly connected to the user's computer. We would like to inform our visitors that due to the direct connection to their server and direct communication with the user's browser, the service providers of the links are capable of collecting user data (e.g., IP address, browser, operating system information, mouse pointer movement, visited page URL, and the visit time) as described in the previous point. Personalized content for the user may be served by the external service provider's server. Detailed information about the management of cookies by the external service provider’s server, their settings, and the options to enable or disable them can be provided by the data controllers listed below:

1. The independent measurement and auditing of the website traffic and other web analytics data of https://ie.helvetic-clinics.com is assisted by the Google Analytics server as an external service provider.
2. The data controller provides detailed information about the management of the measurement data at https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/
3. Cookies are stored with a third party, in the Google Analytics service.
4. We use the Google Analytics service to measure the effectiveness and success of our website as well as our various advertising activities directed towards it.

The following online data about you will be stored in Google Analytics:

1. Cookie identification
2. IP address – in a form that cannot be used for identification (with IP masking*)
3. Device-specific data (hardware, operating system, etc.)
4. Client ID

By using the method known as IP masking, we have set up Google Analytics to use only a portion of the IP address for geographical location determination. As a result, the user's IP address, as personal data, is not identifiable to our website.

Revay Dental Clinic Zrt. is available at https://www.facebook.com/helveticclinicsbudapest/ and other social media platforms. Revay Dental Clinic Zrt. does not carry out any data processing related to the operation of social media pages. The Facebook data processing policy can be found at https://www.facebook.com/privacy/explanation.

The external service providers mentioned above have the technical capability to manage cookies for the realization of their objectives, but Revay Dental Clinic Zrt. has no influence over the handling of these cookies. The service providers can provide information about the data processing related to cookies at the provided website.

In general, it can be stated that the user is able to delete the cookie from their own computer and can disable the use of cookies in their browser. The management of cookies is typically available in the browser's Tools/Settings menu under Privacy/History/Custom Settings, labeled as cookie, cookie settings, or tracking.

The legal basis for data processing is the consent of the data subject, which is provided or rejected through the appropriate settings of the internet browser.
