Why does Dental Campus use cookies and similar technologies?

We use cookies and similar technologies to provide, measure and improve our services in a variety of ways. We use these cookies when you visit our website and our services through a browser. We use cookies for the following purposes:

For example, we use cookies to test different versions of Dental Campus to determine which features or content users prefer. With web beacons we can determine which e-mail messages are opened. Cookies enable us to determine how you use Dental Campus, e.g. which links you click.

We also work with a number of partners, such as Google Analytics, who use cookies and similar technologies and allow us to analyze the use of the services. This also includes, for example, which websites you use to access the services. These service providers either collect this information themselves or we disclose it to them.

You can opt-out of some of these services using tools such as the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
