1. Introduction
Nis Clinic uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website to enhance user experience, ensure site functionality, and — with your explicit consent — collect anonymous usage statistics.
This Cookie Policy explains which cookies we use, for what purpose, for how long, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.
This policy forms an integral part of our Privacy Policy.
2. What Is a Cookie?
A cookie is a small text file that is saved to your device (computer, tablet, or phone) via your browser when you visit a website. Cookies are used to remember session information such as language preference, measure site performance, and — where you have given permission — to enable advertising and analytics services.
Cookies are not malicious software and cannot infect your device with a virus.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
We classify cookies on the Nis Clinic website into four categories:
3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies These are required for the basic functionality of the site. They cannot be disabled because they serve core functions such as retaining your language preference, submitting forms, and maintaining security. They do not require consent.
3.2 Functional Cookies These improve user experience by remembering information such as your preferred theme, display size, and previously visited pages. If you decline them, the site will continue to work, but you may need to re-enter certain preferences on each visit.
3.3 Analytical Cookies These collect anonymous statistics about site usage: which pages are visited most, average session duration, and traffic source. They contain no personally identifiable information. They are only activated if you give your consent.
3.4 Marketing Cookies These are used to show you content and advertising relevant to your interests. They may involve data sharing with third-party advertising networks. They are only activated with your explicit consent.
