01What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website saves in your browser. Similar tools, such as local storage and tracking pixels, work in a similar way. In this policy, we call all of them "cookies." They help a site remember your choices, keep it secure and understand how it is used.
02Cookies We Use
Strictly necessary (always on)
Needed for the site to work, stay secure and remember your cookie choice. These cannot be turned off.
Preferences
Remember things you pick, such as your language in the language switcher or the language on our appointment form.
Analytics (only with your consent)
Help us see which pages are visited and how people find us, using grouped data. We may use Google Analytics for this.
Advertising (only with your consent)
Help us measure whether our Google ads lead to calls or appointment requests. We do not use these cookies to target ads based on health conditions. See our Advertising Policy.

Analytics and advertising cookies only appear if those tools are turned on for the site and you have allowed them.
04How Consent Works
When you first visit, a banner lets you choose Accept all, Essential only or Customize. Until you choose, analytics and advertising cookies stay off. We use Google Consent Mode, which tells Google tools whether you have allowed analytics and advertising storage. If you pick Essential only, those tools do not set cookies.
If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, we turn advertising cookies off for you automatically.
05How to Change Your Choices
- Open cookie settings to change your choice on this site at any time. A "Cookie settings" link is also in the footer of every page.
- Use your browser settings to block or delete cookies. Blocking necessary cookies may cause parts of the site not to work.
- Opt out of Google Analytics on all sites with the Google Analytics opt-out add-on.
