Cookie Policy

Effective Date: May 17, 2026 · Last Updated: May 17, 2026

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make sites work, improve performance, remember preferences, and support analytics and advertising. We also use related technologies such as pixels, web beacons, tags, SDKs, and local storage; for simplicity, we refer to all of these as “cookies” in this policy. For broader information practices, see our Privacy Policy.

Categories of Cookies We Use

Strictly Necessary Cookies

Required for the website to function. They support core operations such as page navigation, security, load balancing, session integrity, fraud prevention, and form submission. These cookies cannot be turned off in our preference center.

Analytics Cookies

Help us understand how visitors interact with the website — which pages are visited, how long sessions last, and where visitors arrive from — so we can improve performance and content. We use Google Analytics for this purpose. Where required, analytics is only enabled after you opt in.

Marketing and Advertising Cookies

Used to measure advertising performance, attribute conversions, and where applicable deliver advertising that may be relevant to you on this and other websites. These may include Google Ads (including conversion tracking and remarketing) and the Meta Pixel. Marketing cookies are only set after you opt in where required, and you can withdraw consent at any time through Cookie Settings or Do Not Sell or Share.

Functional Cookies

Remember choices you make — such as a preference center selection, form continuity, or chat session — to provide a more consistent experience. Disabling these may degrade certain features.

Health and Procedure Pages

Activity on pages describing surgical procedures, cosmetic treatments, body contouring, skin treatments, our photo gallery, and consult requests is treated with heightened sensitivity. We do not use browsing of these pages for advertising, retargeting, or audience building unless the visitor explicitly opts in to marketing cookies on the page they are viewing.

HIPAA and Patient Communications

Secure patient portals, intake and registration forms, appointment scheduling, and direct medical communications with the practice may be governed separately under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and our HIPAA Privacy Policy, rather than this Cookie Policy. Protected Health Information collected through those channels is not shared with advertising partners.

Managing Your Cookies

You can manage your choices at any time:

• Cookie Settings. Adjust analytics, marketing, and functional cookies in our Cookie Settings center.
• Do Not Sell or Share. California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, and other applicable residents can submit a request through our Do Not Sell or Share page.
• Browser controls. Most browsers let you view, delete, and block cookies through their settings.
• Device controls. Mobile devices typically include settings for limiting ad tracking.

Global Privacy Control

We honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) browser signal. When your browser transmits GPC, we treat it as a valid request to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising on that browser. Advertising cookies remain denied for the duration of that signal, and no banner interaction is required.

Google Analytics, Google Ads, Meta, DAA, and NAI Opt-Outs

• Google Ads personalization: adssettings.google.com
• Meta ad preferences: facebook.com/adpreferences
• Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA): aboutads.info/choices
• Network Advertising Initiative (NAI): optout.networkadvertising.org

Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are set by third-party services such as analytics providers, advertising networks, social platforms, and embedded content (e.g., maps and video players). These third parties operate under their own privacy and cookie policies, which we encourage you to review.

Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or our practices. The “Last Updated” date above indicates when the policy was last revised.
