Cookie policy

I. WHAT COOKIES ARE

Cookies are small files or amounts of information stored by the browser on the User’s device when they visit a website. They temporarily retain the information required for certain technical website functions to operate correctly between requests.

II. COOKIES USED BY JAGS

JAGS uses first-party technical cookies necessary for the operation and security of the application, as well as a first-party consent-management cookie. Google Maps is optional external content and remains blocked until the user accepts it. No cookies are used to measure audiences, display advertising, build profiles or observe browsing behaviour.

Cookie	Owner/provider	Purpose	Type	Duration
XSRF-TOKEN	JAGS	Protects forms and requests against cross-site request forgery (CSRF), particularly when the contact form is submitted.	Technical and essential	120 minutes
jags-session	JAGS	Maintains the technical browsing session and enables the application to operate securely, including temporary messages and form validation.	Technical and essential	120 minutes
jags-consent	JAGS	Remembers only the choice about loading external Google Maps content.	Technical consent-management	12 months

III. FIRST-PARTY COOKIES

The cookies listed above are managed directly by the JAGS application. XSRF-TOKEN and jags-session are technical and necessary. jags-consent stores only the versioned value v1.accepted or v1.rejected, contains no personal identifiers, uses SameSite=Lax and is marked Secure on HTTPS or in production.

IV. HCAPTCHA AND SECURITY TECHNOLOGIES

hCaptcha loads automatically on Contact to protect the form from bots, spam and automated abuse. The provider states that its service may use cookies and other technologies necessary to provide it. JAGS has not reliably observed or confirmed every internal cookie used by its cross-origin iframes.

In the current implementation, hCaptcha is considered a technology associated with necessary security and is not used for JAGS analytics, advertising or marketing.

V. GOOGLE MAPS

Google Maps is optional external content whose purpose for JAGS is to show the practice’s location. The iframe is blocked by default and loads only after selecting “Accept”. If rejected, the local fallback remains and Google Maps does not load.

When Google Maps loads, Google may use cookies and similar technologies according to its own policies. JAGS neither invents nor confirms specific Google cookie names. An accepted decision is remembered through jags-consent and can be changed from “Cookie settings”.

Google privacy policy

On the first visit, necessary technologies remain active and Google Maps is blocked. The notice offers “Accept” and “Reject” with the same ease.

Accept enables only external Google Maps content. Reject keeps it blocked. Mere navigation through the site does not amount to consent.

The decision can be changed at any time through the “Cookie settings” link in the Footer.

VII. DISABLING, DELETING OR CONFIGURING COOKIES

Users can block or delete cookies through their browser settings. The available options vary depending on the browser and device used.

Blocking essential technical cookies may prevent certain website functions—particularly the contact form, validation messages or the technical session—from operating correctly.

The external-content preference can be changed from “Cookie settings”. If Google Maps has already loaded, JAGS can remove its iframe but cannot remove cookies or storage created by a third party outside its control.

VIII. PERSONAL DATA

Where the use of a cookie or technology involves the processing of personal data, that processing will also be governed by the JAGS Privacy Policy.

IX. UPDATES TO THIS POLICY

This Cookie Policy may be updated if the website’s technical configuration changes, new cookies or services are introduced, or relevant regulatory changes occur.
