This Cookie Policy applies to any Rooted Dental Studio product or service that links to this policy or incorporates it by reference. We use cookies to ensure that everyone who uses our website has the best possible experience. By continuing to visit or use our services, you are agreeing to the use of cookies and similar technologies for the purposes described in this policy.

2. What is a Cookie?

A cookie is a small file placed onto your device that enables website features and functionality. For example, cookies enable us to identify your device, secure your access to our site, and even help us know if someone attempts to access your account from a different device. Cookies also enable you to easily share content on our site and help us serve relevant clinical information to you.

3. How Rooted Dental Studio Uses Cookies

We use cookies to enhance your browsing experience and provide our services. The cookies we use generally fall into one of the following categories:

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential for you to browse the website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the site or utilizing the appointment booking system. Without these cookies, services you have asked for cannot be provided.
• Preferences and Settings: These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your language or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. For example, they can be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts, and other parts of web pages that you can customize.
• Performance and Analytics: We use these cookies to understand how visitors use our website. We primarily use Google Analytics to collect information such as which pages are visited most often and if users receive error messages. This data is aggregated and anonymized, meaning it does not identify you personally. It is used solely to improve how our website works.
• Marketing and Social Media: These cookies are used to track visitors across websites. The intention is to display ads that are relevant and engaging for the individual user. We may also use social media buttons and/or plugins on this site that allow you to connect with your social network in various ways.

4. Tracking Pixels and Other Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called “tracking pixels” or “clear gifs”). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognize when someone has visited our website or opened an email that we have sent them.

This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within our website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to our website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, and to improve site performance.

5. Your Choices and Cookie Management

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences by setting or amending your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies.

• Browser Controls: Most browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website though your access to some functionality and areas of our website may be restricted.
• Disabling Analytics: To opt-out of being tracked by Google Analytics across all websites, visit http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
• Do Not Track: Some internet browsers include the ability to transmit “Do Not Track” signals. Since uniform standards for “Do Not Track” signals have not been adopted, our website does not currently process or respond to “Do Not Track” signals.

6. Security and HIPAA Considerations

As a U.S. healthcare provider, we ensure that our use of cookies does not compromise our HIPAA compliance. We do not store unencrypted Protected Health Information (PHI) within cookies. Any data collected through analytics is used specifically to improve the user interface and patient experience of the Rooted Dental Studio digital platform.
