We also use analysis cookies to better understand our website visitors and improve our marketing, product, and service offerings, as well as performance optimization cookies to improve your online experience.

This page details the information they gather, how we use it, and the reasons we sometimes need to maintain these cookies. Furthermore, we’ll outline how to prevent these cookies from being saved, albeit doing so may cause certain website features to “break” or function less effectively.

From time to time, this message may appear again if the relevant cookie is rejected or removed (see “Cookie Settings,” below).

Through the settings of your browser, you can disable cookies. Please be aware that this might also affect the strictly necessary cookies, which are vital to the functionality of this website.

How Cookies Are Used

We use cookies for a variety of purposes, some of which are listed below. Unfortunately, the majority of the time, there are no industry-standard methods for disabling cookies without also totally preventing this website from using the features and functionality they provide. It is recommended that you keep cookies enabled on all of your devices even if you are not sure if they are required for a service you use.

Our use of cookies and tracking technologies

When discussing cookies and tracking technologies on our websites, Oakville Osteopathic Clinic makes reference to the following:

Internet Beacons

Web beacons are a tool we use in our subscriber emails to help us better manage content. Web beacons are tiny, uniquely identifiable images that are used to track an online user’s activities. Whereas cookies are stored on a user’s hard drive, web beacons are undetectable web components that are embedded on websites. They assist us in determining which recipients of our HTML-based emails have clicked through, which aids in the evaluation of the efficacy of our marketing initiatives.

Pixels

A pixel is the piece of code that is installed on your computer in order to trigger the setting of a cookie. We use this method from time to time so that we can send you messages that are more relevant.

Log Files

Log files are used by us to record events that occur on our websites. This may encompass various aspects such as the nature, substance, or schedule of any transactions you conduct using your device. Because of these audit trails, we are able to review activities on our websites.

How and why tracking technologies and cookies are used

Cookies come in two varieties, depending on how they are configured:

Session Cookies

Are momentarily stored in the RAM of your computer during website visits and are removed when your browser is closed.

Persistent Cookies

Kept on your computer for a predetermined amount of time and used to ascertain whether we have previously interacted with your computer.

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

Because they enable you to navigate a website and use its features, like accessing secure areas, these cookies are essential. Without these cookies, it would be impossible to provide the services you have requested (such as access to restricted areas). These cookies don’t gather any personal information about you that might be used to follow your online activity or for marketing purposes.

Category 2: Performance cookies

These cookies collect information about your website usage, including the pages you visit most frequently and the error messages you see on specific pages. There is no personally identifiable information gathered by these cookies. These cookies only collect anonymous data in order to improve our website’s functionality.

Category 3: Functionality cookies

A website can remember your preferences (such as your user name, language, or location) and adapt its features and content to your needs with the use of these cookies. For instance, you can use them to store your login information and any modifications you’ve made to the text size, font, and other design elements on the page. In addition, they could be used to provide services that users have asked for, like viewing a video or commenting on a blog. In order to ensure that all of our services and communications are relevant to you, these cookies may be used. The information these cookies collect does not allow for the tracking of your online browsing activity on other websites. Without these cookies, a website cannot remember your previous preferences or alter how you browse.

Category 4: Targeting and advertising cookies

We use these to display ads on our websites that we believe are more relevant to you. Without these cookies, the online adverts you see will be less customized to your tastes and needs. Furthermore, we allow specific advertising partners to set cookies specifically so they can monitor the success of their campaigns.
