We use cookies and similar tools on our website to improve performance and enhance user experience. This policy explains how we do that.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files a website may put on your computer or mobile device when you first visit a site or page. The cookie will help the website, or another website, to recognize your device the next time you visit. Web beacons or other similar files can do the same thing. We use the term “cookies” in this policy to refer to all files that collect information in this way.
Cookies can serve many functions. For example, they can help us to remember your username and preferences, analyze how well our website is performing, or allow us to recommend content we believe will be most relevant to you.
Certain cookies contain personal information. For example, if you click “remember me” when logging in, a cookie will store your username.
Most cookies won’t collect information that identifies you. Instead, they collect more general information, such as how users arrive at and use our website, or a user’s general location.
What sort of cookies does vancortho.com use?
Generally, our cookies perform up to four different functions:
1. Essential cookies
Some cookies are essential for the operation of our website. For example, some cookies allow us to identify registered users and ensure they can access their profile pages. If a user disables these cookies, the user will not be able to access their profile and other features that may be otherwise provided to logged-in users.
2. Performance Cookies
We utilize other cookies to analyse how our visitors use our website and to monitor website performance. This allows us to provide a high quality experience by customizing our offering and quickly identifying and fixing any issues that arise.
For example, we might use performance cookies to keep track of which pages are most popular, which method of linking between pages is most effective, and to determine why some pages are receiving error messages. We might also use these cookies to highlight articles or site services that we think will be of interest to you based on your usage of the website.
3. Functionality Cookies
We use functionality cookies to allow us to remember your preferences. For example, cookies save you the trouble of typing in a username every time you access the site (if you are a registered user).
We also use functionality cookies to provide you with enhanced services such as allowing you to watch a video online or comment on a blog article.
Additionally, we use or allow third parties to serve cookies that fall into the four categories above. For example, like many companies, we use Google Analytics to help us monitor our website traffic. You can learn more about Google’s privacy practices here.
We may also use third party cookies to help us with market research, revenue tracking, improving site functionality and monitoring compliance with our terms and conditions.
