Cookies, Analytics & Advertising Technologies

Effective [insert the date the tags actually go back live]

This website uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to understand how visitors use our site and to measure the effectiveness of our marketing. These tools collect general, non-medical information — such as pages visited, time on site, device/browser type, and how you arrived at our website (for example, from a Google search or an online ad). They do not access or collect medical records, health history, or other protected health information.

The technologies currently in use are:

  • Google Analytics (GA4) helps us understand overall site traffic and how visitors use our pages, so we can improve the site.
  • Google Ads conversion tracking helps us measure whether our online ads are leading people to contact or visit our practice.
  • Meta (Facebook/Instagram) Pixel helps us measure the performance of our Facebook and Instagram ads and show relevant ads to people who have visited our site.

Pages where advertising pixels are turned off

To protect the privacy of anyone providing personal or health-related information to us, advertising and retargeting pixels (Google Ads conversion tracking and the Meta Pixel) are never active on:

  • Our appointment request / contact form
  • The patient portal login page
  • Intake and new-patient registration forms

Google Analytics may still record that a visit happened on these pages (for example, so we can see how many people started a form), but that data is not used to build advertising profiles or to serve targeted ads based on activity on these pages.

Your choices

You can control cookies through your browser settings. You can also opt out of Google's advertising cookies through Google Ads Settings, and of Meta's ad tracking through your Facebook/Instagram ad preferences. Turning off cookies may affect how parts of the site function but will not affect your ability to receive care from our practice.
