Cookies usage
Last updated: September 2026
This website, www.premiumdentalclinics.com, is operated by Swiss Dental Concepts AG, Niederlanzerstrasse 25, 5600 Lenzburg, Switzerland (info@premiumdentalclinics.com). This policy explains which cookies and similar technologies the website uses and how you can control them. For everything else about how we handle personal data, please see our Privacy Policy.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser, so that it can recognise your browser on later visits or remember a setting. Other technologies, such as your browser's local storage, work in a similar way; in this policy, "cookies" covers all of them.
Some cookies are strictly necessary for the website to work, and they do not need your consent. All other cookies are only set if you accept them. This follows the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) and, for visitors from the European Union, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the ePrivacy rules.
Cookies we use
Strictly necessary
| Name | Set by | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| cc_cookie | premiumdentalclinics.com | Remembers your cookie choices, so that we do not ask you again on every page. | 1 year |
Marketing: embedded YouTube videos (only with your consent)
The home page and the About us page show videos hosted on YouTube, a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. These videos are only loaded if you accept marketing cookies. Until then, nothing is requested from YouTube, and you will see a picture or a notice in their place.
Once the videos are loaded, YouTube may set cookies and store data in your browser to play them, to count views and to show you personalised advertising. For example:
| Name | Set by | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| YSC | youtube.com | Registers a unique ID to keep statistics of the videos you have watched. | End of the session |
| VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE | youtube.com | Estimates your bandwidth and helps YouTube recommend videos. | 6 months |
| VISITOR_PRIVACY_METADATA | youtube.com | Stores your cookie choices on YouTube. | 6 months |
YouTube may set other cookies as well, and Google may process this data outside Switzerland and the European Union, including in the United States. You can read more in Google's Privacy Policy (opens in a new tab) and in how Google uses information from sites that use its services (opens in a new tab). If you prefer not to accept these cookies, you can still watch our videos directly on our YouTube channel (opens in a new tab).
No analytics or advertising cookies of our own
We count visits with Matomo, an open-source web analytics tool, without cookies and without storing anything in your browser: each page loads a small invisible image, and the statistics are compiled from that request (the page visited, the time, the referring page and the type of browser); IP addresses are anonymised. Matomo is operated on our behalf by our web service provider, and the data is used only to produce overall visit statistics.
We do not use Google Analytics, advertising cookies or social media tracking pixels. The course enrolment and membership forms do not use cookies either. The links to our pages on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and TikTok are ordinary links: nothing is loaded from those networks until you click them, and once you are on their websites, their own cookie policies apply.
Changing or withdrawing your consent
You can change your choice at any time:
If you withdraw your consent to marketing cookies, the YouTube videos will no longer be loaded. Cookies that YouTube has already stored belong to youtube.com, so they have to be deleted from your browser.
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser's settings. These pages explain how to do it in the most common browsers:
- Google Chrome (opens in a new tab)
- Mozilla Firefox (opens in a new tab)
- Apple Safari (opens in a new tab)
- Microsoft Edge (opens in a new tab)
Blocking all cookies may prevent some parts of this or other websites from working properly.
Changes to this policy
We will update this policy whenever we change the cookies we use. The date at the top shows when it was last updated. If you have any questions, please write to us at info@premiumdentalclinics.com.
