Cookies Policy

Due to the entry into force of the recent amendment to the “Law on Information Society Services” (LSSICE) established by Royal Decree 13/2012, it is mandatory to obtain the express consent of the user for all websites that use non-essential cookies before they navigate through them. At FUEXPERT CLINIC, we are fully committed to the application of the new GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation). It came into effect on May 25, 2016, and was applicable from May 25, 2018. Here, we provide our users with all the information about the “Cookies Policy” and its use on this website.

What is a cookie?

Cookies and other similar technologies such as local shared objects, flash cookies, or pixels are tools used by web servers to store and retrieve information about their visitors, as well as to ensure the proper functioning of the site. A cookie is a harmless text file that is stored in your browser when you visit almost any website. The purpose of the cookie is for the website to remember your visit when you browse that page again. Although many people may not be aware of it, cookies have been used for 20 years since the first browsers for the World Wide Web appeared.

What is NOT a cookie?

It is not a virus, Trojan, worm, spam, spyware, or pop-up window opener.

What information does a cookie store?

Cookies do not usually store sensitive information about you, such as credit card or bank details, photos, your ID, or personal information, etc. The data they store is of a technical nature, personal preferences, content customization, etc. The web server does not associate you as a person but rather associates your web browser. In fact, if you regularly browse with Internet Explorer and try to browse the same website with Firefox or Chrome, you will see that the website does not recognize you as the same person because it is associating with the browser, not the person.
