Cookie Policy

‍

Effective Date: March 26, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Grand Mission Dentistry ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on https://grandmissiondentistry.com/ (the "Site"). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

1. What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies — including web beacons, pixels, local storage, and tracking scripts — work in comparable ways. Throughout this policy, we use the term "cookies" to refer to all of them.

Cookies generally do not identify you by name, but they can be associated with information you provide to us through forms or other interactions on the Site. They may collect technical and behavioral information such as your browser and device type, operating system, pages visited, time spent on the Site, referring website, and approximate location based on IP address.

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies to operate, secure, and improve our Site. Specifically, we use them to:

  • Make the Site function properly and load efficiently
  • Remember your preferences and form entries
  • Support embedded content, scheduling, and other interactive tools
  • Help maintain security and prevent spam or abuse
  • Understand how visitors find and use the Site so we can improve it

3. Categories of Cookies We Use

Essential cookies are necessary for the Site to function and cannot generally be disabled through our systems. They support core functions such as page navigation, form submission, accessibility features, security, and session management. Disabling them through your browser may break parts of the Site.

Performance and analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Site — which pages are most visited, how users move through the Site, and where they may encounter problems. This information is typically aggregated and helps us improve content and usability.

Functional cookies remember choices and preferences (such as form entries or display settings) so that returning to the Site is more convenient.

Third-party cookies are placed by services we integrate with on the Site. Depending on the features you use, these may include:

  • Web analytics (e.g., Ahrefs Analytics) to measure Site traffic and performance
  • Online appointment scheduling (e.g., FlexBook) for booking and managing appointments
  • Financing and payment tools (e.g., Cherry) when you use them
  • Maps (Google Maps) for directions and the embedded office map
  • Embedded videos and review widgets (e.g., Elfsight Google Reviews)
  • The AI Smile Preview tool when you choose to use it
  • Accessibility tools (e.g., Sienna Accessibility)
  • Website hosting, performance, and content delivery providers

These third parties operate under their own privacy and cookie policies. We do not control all cookies they place. We encourage you to review the policies of any service you interact with through our Site.

4. Cookies and Personal Information

Cookies we use are intended to support functionality, convenience, and Site performance. If you submit information through a contact form, appointment request, or other tool, that information may be associated with your visit to help us respond to your inquiry and improve our Site.

We do not sell or share cookie data or personal information collected through cookies for cross-context behavioral advertising or other unrelated marketing purposes. For more on how we handle the personal information you provide, including your rights to access, correct, or delete it, please see our Privacy Policy.

5. Managing Cookies

Most web browsers let you control cookies through their settings — including blocking all cookies, accepting only certain types, deleting stored cookies, and being notified when cookies are placed. Settings instructions for the most common browsers are available here:

Disabling cookies may affect the functionality of certain parts of the Site, including forms, scheduling tools, embedded content, and other interactive features.

6. Browser Privacy Signals

Some browsers offer privacy signals such as "Do Not Track" (DNT) or the Global Privacy Control (GPC). Standards for these signals continue to evolve, and there is no single industry-wide approach to honoring them. Where required by applicable law, we will treat a recognized GPC signal as a request to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information collected through cookies. Our Site does not currently respond to DNT signals because there is no consistent industry standard for them.

7. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, the technologies we use, our service providers, or applicable law. When we do, we will revise the "Last Updated" date above and post the updated version on this page. We encourage you to review it periodically.
