We do not use session cookies to collect personal information, and we do not share data collected from session cookies.

Multi-session cookies are cookies that are stored over more than a single session on your computer. We do not use multi-session cookies to collect personal information, and we do not share data collected from multi-session cookies. Our multi-session cookies are set to expire no more than two years after your last visit to our website. After two years, they are automatically deleted from your computer. DermaVogue is unable to identify an individual by using such technologies.
