Draft — not yet reviewed by a lawyer
This document was drafted by the practice's web developer from public sources. It has not been reviewed by a Romanian lawyer, and the passages marked in red are facts the practice has still to confirm. Do not rely on it as a final statement of the practice's obligations or of your rights. It is published in this state because a visible draft is more use to you than an empty page, and because publishing unreviewed text as though it were final would be the worse of the two mistakes.

What this page covers
A cookie is a small file a website asks your browser to keep. Some are needed for a site to work at all; most sites also use them to measure visits or to follow you across other sites.
This site stores three items. All three are ours, all three stay on your own device, and none of them is used to track you, build a profile of you, or tell anyone else that you were here. Two are needed for the site to function; the third only remembers that you closed a notice.
What is stored
| Name | Category | Kept for | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
| ed_consent | Strictly necessary | 180 days | Stores the cookie choice you made, when you made it, and which version of this policy it applied to. |
| NEXT_LOCALE | Strictly necessary | 365 days | Remembers whether you are reading the site in English or Romanian. |
| ed_popup | Preferences | 30 days | Remembers that you closed the site notice, so it is not shown again for a month. |
All three are set by this site alone. No third party sets, reads or receives anything from your device on any page here.
The choice you are given
Before anything optional is stored, you are asked. Nothing in the Preferences, Analytics or Marketing categories is written to your device until you choose to allow it, and refusing has no effect on any part of this site — every page, the treatment information, the contact form and the WhatsApp link all work identically whether you accept or refuse.
Analytics and Marketing currently have nothing in them. We do not measure visits, we run no advertising from this site, and no third-party script loads on any page. Those two categories exist so that if that ever changes, your refusal is already recorded rather than assumed, and the change has to appear in the table above before it can happen.
Changing your mind
Select Cookie settings in the footer of any page. The same panel opens, with your current choices in it, and you can change or withdraw any of them. Consent is exactly as easy to withdraw as it was to give — that is a legal requirement, and it is why the link is on every page rather than only on this one.
You can also delete cookies through your browser's own settings. If you delete the record of your choice, you will be asked again on your next visit.
How long the record lasts
Your choice is stored for 180 days, after which you are asked again. You are also asked again if this policy changes in a way that affects what is stored, because consent to an earlier version of a policy is not consent to a later one.
Where the record of your consent is kept
In the cookie on your own device, and nowhere else. This site is served as static files with no database behind it, so your decision is not transmitted to us or to anyone else — it stays with you. The panel shows you the reference number stored alongside it, which you can quote if you ever ask us what was recorded.
Legal basis and your rights
Consent for non-essential storage is required by article 4(5) of Legea nr. 506/2004 on the processing of personal data in the electronic communications sector. Strictly necessary items are stored without consent, as that law permits, and are listed above so you can see exactly what they are.
If you believe this site has stored something it should not have, you can contact us using the details at the foot of this page, and you have the right to complain to the Autoritatea Națională de Supraveghere a Prelucrării Datelor cu Caracter Personal (ANSPDCP) at dataprotection.ro.
For how we handle information you send us — through the contact form or on WhatsApp — see the privacy policy. For information held about you as a patient of the practice, see the patient information notice.
This document exists in Romanian and English. The Romanian version is the legally operative one; the English text is a translation provided for the practice's English-speaking patients, and where the two differ the Romanian governs.
