7. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website uses Google Tag Manager, which loads Google Ads conversion tracking. These Google services may set cookies or use similar technologies to measure whether our advertisements lead to visits to our website. They do not receive information from your medical records or the patient portal. You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings, and manage Google ad personalization at adssettings.google.com.
