What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit it. They make the site work, remember your choices and, on some sites, measure audiences or show advertising. This policy also applies to similar technologies, such as browser local storage.
This policy complies with Article 5 of Portuguese Law no. 41/2004 of 18 August (as amended by Law no. 46/2012), the GDPR and the guidance of the Portuguese data protection authority (CNPD) on cookie consent.
Which cookies we use
endodontics.pt was designed to use as few cookies as possible. We do not use analytics, advertising or social-media cookies.
2.1 Strictly necessary (no consent required)
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Language preference | Remember the language you chose (PT, EN or ES) so that you land on the right version on later visits. | 12 months |
| Cookie consent | Store your choice in the cookie banner so we do not show it again. | 12 months |
| Reserved-area session | Keep the site administrator and portal users signed in, including two-factor verification. Only exists when you sign in. | Session / until sign-out |
| Hosting security | Abuse protection and load distribution, set by the hosting provider. | Session |
2.2 Third-party cookies subject to consent
| Service | Purpose | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| Vimeo (clinical videos) | Play the videos embedded on the site. Vimeo may set its own cookies when the player loads. | The player only loads after you click the video and only if you accepted third-party cookies in the banner. Until then you see only the cover image, served by us. Vimeo's policy: vimeo.com/cookie_policy |
There are no other third-party cookies. If we add an audience-measurement tool in the future, it will be cookie-free and without personal data, or we will ask for new consent.
Managing your consent
On your first visit we show a banner with "Accept", "Decline" and "Customise", given equal prominence. Declining does not limit browsing; it only prevents Vimeo videos from loading until you accept them.
You can change your choice at any time through the "Cookie preferences" link in the footer of every page. You can also delete or block cookies in your browser settings; in that case, language and consent preferences will be asked again.
Personal data
Strictly necessary cookies do not identify you. Vimeo cookies are Vimeo's responsibility and are processed under its own policy. For more on personal data processing on the Platform, see our Privacy Policy.
