On this website (https://www.oakvilleacupunctureclinic.com/), Oakville Acupuncture Clinic uses cookies. Any reference to “you,” “yours,” or similar terminology in this Cookies Policy refers to any user of this website, regardless of identity. We, our, us, and other similar terms are used to refer to Oakville Acupuncture Clinic.
This website uses cookies, which are little files that are downloaded to your computer, just like practically all professional websites do. When you visit a website, text files called cookies are saved on your computer, mobile device, etc. Usually, they are made up of numbers and characters. Cookies are needed in order for you to utilize every feature of this website. The website and all of its features cannot be used without these cookies. We also use performance optimization cookies to enhance your online experience and analytic cookies to better understand our website visitors and our marketing, product, and service offerings.
This page explains what data they collect, how we use it, and why we occasionally need to keep these cookies active. We’ll also explain how to stop these cookies from being saved, though doing so might make some website features “break” or perform less well. If, as required by applicable law, you have checked the corresponding box in the Cookie Information Message that appears when you first visit our website, then we will only use performance and analysis cookies with your consent. If the relevant cookie is rejected or deleted, this message might occasionally reappear (see “Cookie Settings,” below).
You can turn off cookies in your browser’s settings. Please be advised that this may also have an impact on the strictly necessary cookies, which are essential to this website’s operation. As such, if you disable (all) cookies, some features of the website might not work as intended. Moreover, we couldn’t improve your online experience without cookies. For instance, each time you see the Cookie Information Message, you will be asked to select the language. You can also change the settings of your browser to receive notifications when cookies are being set.
How Cookies Are Used
A few of the uses for which we employ cookies are mentioned below. Unfortunately, most of the time, it is not possible to disable cookies on this website without also completely blocking all of the features and functionality that they offer using industry-standard methods. Even if you are unsure if cookies are necessary for a service you use, it is advised that you keep them enabled on all of your devices.
Our use of cookies and tracking technologies
When talking about tracking technologies and cookies on our websites, Oakland Acupuncture Clinic mentions the following:
Internet Beacons
We employ web beacons as a tool in our subscriber emails to improve content management. Tiny, individually recognizable images called web beacons are used to monitor an online user’s activity. Web beacons are invisible online elements that are embedded on websites, as opposed to cookies, which are kept on a user’s hard drive. They help us assess the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns by helping us identify which recipients of our HTML-based emails have clicked through.
Pixels
The code that is installed on your computer to cause a cookie to be set is called a pixel. We occasionally employ this technique to provide you with more pertinent messages.
Log Files
We use log files to document activities that take place on our websites. This could include a number of different things, like the type, content, or timing of any transactions you make with your device. We can examine activities on our websites because of these audit trails.
How and why tracking technologies and cookies are used
Depending on how they are set up, cookies come in two different varieties:
Session Cookies
Are momentarily stored in the RAM of your computer during website visits and are removed when your browser is closed.
Persistent Cookies
Stored on your computer for a set period of time and used to determine if we have already interacted with it.
Our websites may use cookies in one of two ways:
1st Party Cookies
Cookies that are established by the website domain (or one of its subdomains).
3rd Party Cookies
Cookies that come from a different domain on the internet. (For instance, by an outside web service or by one of our primary technology partners).
Classification of Cookies
The following categories apply to cookies that we and our primary technology partners have placed on the website:
Category 1: Cookies that are strictly necessary
These cookies are necessary because they let you navigate a website and take advantage of its features, like accessing secure areas. It would be impossible to provide you with the services you have requested (like access to areas that are restricted) without these cookies. These cookies don’t collect any personal data about you that could be used for marketing or tracking your online activities.
Category 2: Performance cookies
These cookies gather data about how you use the website, such as the pages you visit most regularly and the error messages you encounter on particular pages. These cookies do not collect any personally identifiable information. These cookies only gather anonymous data to enhance the functionality of our website. You won’t be targeted by online advertising thanks to these cookies. We can’t assess the functionality of our website or make pertinent changes that might enhance your browsing experience if these cookies aren’t used.
Category 3: Functionality cookies
By using these cookies, a website can remember your preferences (like your user name, language, or location) and customize its features and content to suit your needs. They can be used, for example, to store your login credentials and any changes you make to the font, text size, and other design elements on the page. They might also be used to deliver requested services, like watching a video or leaving a comment on a blog. These cookies might be used to make sure that all of our communications and services are pertinent to you. The data that these cookies gather prevents tracking of your online activities on other websites. A website cannot function without these cookies.
Category 4: Targeting and advertising cookies
These are used by us to show you advertisements on our websites that we think are more relevant to you. The online advertisements you see will be less tailored to your preferences and requirements if these cookies are deleted. Additionally, we permit particular advertising partners to set cookies on their own behalf in order to track the effectiveness of their campaigns.
