Last updated: 29.10.2026

1. General Information

This Policy explains how the GESR website, including www.gesrclinic.lv, uses cookies and similar technologies.

The GESR website may use cookies to ensure its proper functioning and security, remember users’ choices, support forms, perform analytics, deliver advertising, improve the website and enable embedded third-party services.

This Policy is a separate document from the Privacy Policy. The Privacy Policy describes how GESR processes the personal data of patients and website visitors. This Policy explains which cookies are used on the website, why they are needed and how users can manage their choices.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website stores in a user’s browser when the user visits the website.

They help the website function properly, remember users’ choices, maintain security, analyse website usage, improve page structure and display more relevant advertisements.

Some cookies are necessary for the website to function. Others are used only with the user’s consent, where such consent is required.

3. Similar Technologies

In addition to cookies, the website may use similar technologies, including pixels, tags, analytics scripts, advertising codes, embedded elements of third-party services and technical identifiers of browsers or devices.

These technologies may be used for analytics, advertising, the operation of forms, displaying maps, videos and social media content, or enabling other website functions.

4. Necessary Cookies

Necessary cookies are required for the website to function properly. They may be used to load the website, ensure security, submit forms, save users’ cookie preferences, protect against errors and misuse, and ensure the stable operation of the website’s core functions.

These cookies may be used without separate consent from the user, as the website may not function properly without them.

5. Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help GESR understand how visitors use the website. They may be used to collect visit statistics, analyse traffic sources, identify popular pages, analyse user behaviour on the website and improve the website’s structure.

The website may use Google Analytics for analytics purposes.

Analytics cookies are activated only after the user has given consent, where such consent is required.

6. Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies are used for advertising and to assess the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.

They may be used for Google Ads, Meta Pixel, advertising on Facebook and Instagram, retargeting, creating advertising audiences, measuring advertising effectiveness and analysing enquiries received through advertising.

Marketing cookies are activated only after the user has given consent.

If the user has not consented to marketing cookies, advertising pixels and advertising tags must not be activated.

7. Functional Cookies

Functional cookies are used to enable additional website features, such as forms, maps, embedded videos, social media buttons, user preferences and other embedded services.

Some functional cookies may be necessary for a particular feature to work. Others may only be activated with the user’s consent if they are not strictly necessary.

8. Third-Party Services

The GESR website may use third-party services that may set their own cookies or use similar technologies.

These services may include Google Analytics, Google Ads, Meta Pixel, Google Maps or another map service, YouTube or other embedded videos, social media platforms, form-protection services, technical services necessary for the website to function, and other services actually used on the website.

Only services that are actually integrated into the website must be included in the final cookie table.

9. Advertising Pixels

The GESR website may use advertising pixels and tags, including Google Ads and Meta Pixel.

Advertising pixels may be used to measure advertising effectiveness, retarget users with advertisements, analyse user actions on the website, identify the source of enquiries and create advertising audiences.

Advertising pixels must only be activated after the user has consented to marketing cookies.

10. List of Cookies Used

The GESR Cookie Policy contains a list of the cookies and third-party services used. This list specifies the name of each cookie or service, the provider, category, purpose, retention period, and whether the cookie is activated automatically or only after the user’s consent.

The list must include only the cookies and services actually used on the website.

11. Disclosure of Data to Third Parties

When cookies and similar technologies are used, data may be shared with service providers where necessary for the operation of the website, analytics, advertising, forms, embedded services or other features.

Data may be shared with Google, Meta, providers of map, video and social media services, the website’s technical contractors and other service providers, where their services are actually used on the website.

GESR does not sell website visitors’ personal data to third parties.

12. Transfers of Data Outside the European Union

Some third-party service providers, such as Google, Meta or other international providers, may process data outside the European Union or the European Economic Area.

In such cases, data processing and transfers must comply with applicable personal data protection laws.

13. Managing Consent

When visiting the website for the first time, users can choose which cookies to allow.

Users can accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, configure cookie categories and change their choices later.

Necessary cookies may operate automatically. Analytics, marketing and certain functional cookies are activated only after the user has given consent, where such consent is required.

14. Withdrawal of Consent

Users can change or withdraw their consent to the use of cookies through the cookie settings available on the website.

Through these settings, users can change their choices, disable analytics cookies, disable marketing cookies, disable functional cookies where they are not necessary, or give consent again for selected categories.

Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the consent was withdrawn.

15. Managing Cookies in Your Browser

Cookies and similar technologies may involve the processing of personal data.

Further information about what personal data GESR may process, why it is processed, to whom it may be disclosed and what rights patients have is provided in the GESR Privacy Policy.

16. Relationship with the Privacy Policy

Users can also manage cookies through their browser settings. They can delete cookies already stored, block new cookies, restrict the use of third-party cookies or configure cookie notifications.

If users disable all cookies in their browser, some website functions may not work properly or may be unavailable.
