Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow a site to recognize your browser, remember your preferences, and understand how the site is being used. We also use related technologies — such as pixels, tags, and browser local storage — which work in a similar way. In this policy, we refer to all of these collectively as "cookies."

How We Use Cookies

We use cookies to:

• Keep the website secure and working as intended
• Remember your cookie and accessibility preferences between visits
• Understand which pages and procedures visitors are most interested in
• Measure whether our advertising reaches the right audience
• Protect our advertising budget from click fraud

Your Consent Controls These Cookies

When you first visit our site, a consent banner (provided by Enzuzo) asks how you want non-essential cookies handled. Analytics and advertising technologies are blocked until you affirmatively accept them — they do not load automatically. If you decline or ignore the banner, only strictly necessary technologies run.

You may change or withdraw your choices at any time using the Cookie Preferences link, which is also available in the footer of every page.

Categories of Cookies We Use

1. Strictly Necessary

These are required for the website to function and cannot be switched off through our banner. They include:

• Enzuzo (consent management): stores a record of your cookie choices so we do not ask again on every page and so we can honor your selection.
• accessiBe (ADA accessibility widget): loads on every visit regardless of consent, because it is required to deliver accessible access to our site. It stores your accessibility adjustments (contrast, text size, navigation aids) locally on your device and is not used for advertising or cross-site tracking.
• Hosting and security: technologies used to serve pages, balance load, and protect against abuse.

2. Analytics and Performance

These load only after you grant analytics consent. They help us understand how the site is used in aggregate so we can improve it.

• Google Analytics 4: measures page views, scroll depth, video interactions, button clicks, and consultation form activity. Data is aggregated and used for site improvement.

3. Advertising and Marketing

These load only after you grant advertising consent. They allow us to measure ad performance and, in some cases, show you relevant ads on other platforms.

• Google Ads: conversion measurement and remarketing for our search and display campaigns.
• Meta (Facebook/Instagram) Pixel: conversion measurement and audience matching for our social campaigns.
• ClickCease: click-fraud detection that identifies invalid or automated ad clicks.
• Campaign attribution: if you arrive from an ad, we may store campaign parameters (such as UTM tags and ad click IDs) in your browser's local storage so we can credit the correct campaign if you later submit a form.

4. Functional and Third-Party Embeds

Some pages embed third-party tools that may set their own cookies when the embed loads:

• Consultation and scheduling forms (HighLevel): used to submit inquiries and book appointments.
• Birdeye: displays patient reviews.
• Embedded video and maps: may set cookies from the hosting provider when you play a video or interact with a map.

Cookies and Your Health Information

We take the sensitivity of health-related browsing seriously. Analytics and advertising technologies do not load on this site unless you consent to them, and we do not knowingly use cookies to transmit protected health information, medical records, treatment details, or information you submit through a patient form to advertising platforms. Information you provide in a consultation request is handled under our HIPAA Privacy Policy, not through advertising cookies.

How Long Cookies Last

Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period — typically from a few days up to twenty-four months, depending on the provider — or until you delete them. Your consent record is retained so that we can demonstrate your choices were honored.

Managing Cookies in Your Browser

In addition to our preference center, most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings, and many support a "Do Not Track" or global privacy control signal. Blocking all cookies may cause parts of this site — such as forms, scheduling, or accessibility settings — to stop working correctly.

Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information

Depending on your state of residence, you may have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information for targeted advertising. You can exercise that right through the "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link in our footer, or by submitting a request through our Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information form.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy as our website, technologies, or legal obligations change. The effective date at the top of this page reflects the most recent update.
