This cookie policy (“Policy”) describes what cookies are and how they’re being used by the impactortho.com website (“Website” or “Service”) and any of its related products and services (collectively, “Services”). This Policy is a legally binding agreement between you (“User”, “you” or “your”) and Impact Orthodontics (“Impact Orthodontics”, “we”, “us” or “our”). If you are entering into this Policy on behalf of a business or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind such entity to this Policy, in which case the terms “User”, “you” or “your” shall refer to such entity. If you do not have such authority, or if you do not agree with the terms of this Policy, you must not accept this Policy and may not access and use the Website and Services. You should read this Policy so you can understand the types of cookies we use, the information we collect using cookies and how that information is used.

What are cookies?
Cookies are small pieces of data stored in text files that are saved on your computer or other devices when websites are loaded in a browser. They are widely used to remember you and your preferences, either for a single visit (through a “session cookie”) or for multiple repeat visits (using a “persistent cookie”).
Session cookies are temporary cookies that are used during the course of your visit to the Website, and they expire when you close the web browser.
Persistent cookies are used to remember your preferences within our Website and remain on your desktop or mobile device even after you close your browser or restart your computer. They ensure a consistent and efficient experience for you while visiting the Website and Services.
Cookies may be set by the Website (“first-party cookies”), or by third parties, such as those who serve content or provide advertising or analytics services on the Website (“third party cookies”). These third parties can recognize you when you visit our website and also when you visit certain other websites.
What type of cookies do we use?
Necessary cookies
Necessary cookies allow us to offer you the best possible experience when accessing and navigating through our Website and using its features. For example, these cookies let us recognize that you have created an account and have logged into that account to access the content.
What are your cookie options?
If you don’t like the idea of cookies or certain types of cookies, you can change your browser’s settings to delete cookies that have already been set and to not accept new cookies. Visit internetcookies.com to learn more about how to do this.
Analytics cookies
We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to understand how visitors use our website, such as which pages are viewed, how long visitors stay, and how they found us. This helps us improve our website and content. Google Analytics sets the following cookies:
- _ga: distinguishes unique visitors. Expires after 2 years.
- _ga_[ID]: maintains session information. Expires after 2 years.
We have configured Google Analytics to avoid collecting names, email addresses, or other information that directly identifies you, and we do not use it for advertising. Our website uses Google Consent Mode, which means that if you decline analytics cookies, Google Analytics cookies are not set on your device.
Our website is also protected by Cloudflare, which may set essential security cookies (such as __cf_bm) to distinguish real visitors from automated traffic. These cookies do not identify you and expire within 30 minutes.
Advertising cookies
We do not use advertising, marketing, or targeting cookies, and we do not allow third parties to place advertising cookies on our website. We do not sell your personal information.
Managing your cookie preferences
When you first visit our website, a cookie banner allows you to accept or decline analytics cookies. You can change your choice at any time by clicking "Cookie Settings" in the footer of our website. You can also opt out of Google Analytics on all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on (tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout), or by adjusting your browser settings to block or delete cookies. Blocking necessary cookies may affect how parts of our website function.
For more information about how we handle personal information, please see our Privacy Policy. Impact Orthodontics handles personal information in accordance with Alberta's Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) and applicable Canadian privacy laws.

An updated version of this Policy will be effective immediately upon the posting of the revised Policy unless otherwise specified.
