1. What is a cookie and what is it used for?

Cookies are very useful and perform various functions that make browsing a site easy and pleasant. You could say that they are like "memories" of the site about you, helping him to remember how you navigated its pages and the choices you made along the way.

You can navigate easier and faster on a site that remembers you than on one that doesn't recognize you. That's why most sites you know and like use cookies.

A cookie is a simple piece of information in the form of a very small text file. Each cookie is unique and is composed of the name of the site that created it and a unique string of numbers and letters.

Most sites place cookies on your device's hard drive (computer, mobile phone or tablet) when you browse them. They do this through your browser - for example Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Safari or Firefox. A cookie can only be read and retrieved by the site that created it; sites can never exchange information with each other through cookies.

Some cookies are valid only during your visit. These "session cookies" disappear from your computer or mobile device after you close your browser. Other cookies remain on your computer or mobile device after you close your browser and are still valid for a specified period of time. These "persistent cookies" are activated every time you visit the site that generated them.

1. What's not in a cookie?

Cookies (as stand-alone items) do NOT contain:

• Personal information - you cannot be personally identified based on a cookie.

• Program code - unlike a computer virus, a cookie is not composed of code, which means that it is not able to damage your device.

We also use cookies to allow the personalization of online advertising. The use of advertising personalization cookies is a current standard on many of the important sites you visit. Advertising of this type helps us to reach the categories of customers interested in a certain type of product, to which the respective advertisements are displayed.

On our site, you can use social plugins (for example, the "Like and Share" button) from the social network (hereinafter referred to as "providers"). We have no influence on the data collected and events related to the data processing, nor do we know the full extent of the data collection or the purposes of the processing or storage periods. We also have no information about deleting data collected by the plugin provider. The plugin provider stores the data it collects as usage profiles and uses it for advertising, market research and / or needs-based design of its website. Such an analysis takes place in particular (even for offline users) to display needs-based advertising and to inform other social network users of your opinion about Forever Smile Clinic products / services. Through these plugins, we give you the opportunity to interact with social networks and other users, so that we can improve our offer and design our site of most important interest to you. The legal basis for the use of plugins is Article 6 (1). ) lit. f GDPR. If you access a page on our site that contains such a plugin, your browser makes a direct connection to that provider's servers.

The content of the plugin is transmitted directly by your browser by the provider and integrated into the site. Through this integration, the provider receives information that you have accessed on the website of our site, even if you do not have a user account with the provider in question or you are not connected to the service in question. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted directly from your browser to a server of the US provider in question, stored there as a user profile and, among other things, used for advertising, market research and needs the design of the supplier's website. You have the right to object to the creation of this user profile, through which you must contact the provider of that plug-in to exercise this right. The links to do this can be found below. If, during your visit to our site, you are logged in to your Facebook user account, that provider may also associate the site visit with your user account. If you interact with a plugin, e.g. If you activate the "Like" or "Share" button, the relevant information is also transmitted directly to a server of the US provider and stored there. The information is also published through your user account in the special social network and displayed in your contacts there. Even if you are not connected to vendor plugins when you visit our website, the data collected by the plugins may, in certain circumstances, be associated with your user account.

Through a plugin, every time you access the site, a cookie is placed with an ID. Because your browser sends this cookie each time you connect to that provider's server without being asked, Facebook and Instagram may, in principle, create a profile of sites that have been accessed by the user you belong to. If necessary, then it would be possible to later associate this ID with a person - for example, at the time of a subsequent connection with the provider. The data is transmitted regardless of whether you have an account with the plugin provider and are connected to it. If you are logged in to the plugin provider, the data collected on our site is directly associated with your existing plugin provider account. If you click the activation button and, for example, link to the website, the plugin provider also stores this information in the user account and publishes it publicly to your contacts. If you do not want the association with your user profile to be associated with your user profile, you must log out of that service before visiting our site. Additionally, you can select the "Disable third-party cookie" feature in your browser settings. Then, your browser no longer sends cookies to the special server of the social network. With this setting, however, under certain circumstances, other third-party features will no longer work on other websites in addition to plugins.
