Cookie Policy
This policy explains the cookies and similar technologies used on drsuzanalp.com ("the Site"). You can change your cookie preference at any time.
1. What is a cookie?
Cookies are small text files placed in your browser when you visit a website. They are used to understand how you use the site, to remember your preferences or to take measurements. Local storage (localStorage) similarly keeps data in your browser but is not technically a cookie; this policy covers both together.
2. Cookies used and their purposes
a) Non-essential, functional storage
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| cerez-tercihi | localStorage | Stores your decision on the cookie banner (accept/decline) and its date, so the banner does not reopen on every page | Until you delete it, or until the consent version changes |
This storage is not essential. If localStorage is disabled in your browser, the site works exactly the same; the cookie banner is simply shown again on each visit.
b) Measurement cookies (Google Analytics 4)
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google LLC | Creates a unique visitor identifier to distinguish returning visits | 2 years |
| _ga_* | Google LLC | Tracks session state | 2 years |
These cookies are loaded only if you click "Accept" on the consent banner. If you do not consent, or if you choose "Decline", no measurement cookie is created and no request is sent to Google.
Your IP address is anonymised (the last octet is dropped). Advertising signals and personalisation are switched off; the data collected are used only for site usage statistics.
c) Third-party cookies (Google Maps)
The embedded map on the contact page is provided by Google Maps. When the map loads, Google may set its own cookies. These cookies are not under our control; for details, see the Google Privacy Policy. The map loads only when you visit the contact page and scroll to the relevant section (lazy loading).
3. Managing your cookie preference
On the site
You can reopen the consent banner and change your decision by clicking the "Cookie preference" link at the bottom of the page. If you accepted earlier and now decline, measurement cookies are no longer loaded from the next page load onwards.
Browser settings
You can delete or block cookies and local storage data in your browser settings. This is not specific to our site and may also affect your sessions on other sites.
4. Changes
When this policy is updated, the new version is published on this page. If the types of data measured or their purposes change, the cookie consent version is increased and the banner is shown again to all visitors; earlier consent does not cover the new purpose.
