Cookies
Third-party cookies and tracking technologies
The cookies described above are set by Northshore Dental Center itself. This part explains what else is stored on your device, what information leaves this site as you use it, and who receives it.
A cookie is a small file a site stores in your browser. This also covers the other techniques that do the same job — local storage, tracking pixels, and scripts embedded from other companies. They are all treated the same way here.
Information collected as you browse
When your browser loads a resource from another company, that request necessarily reveals your IP address, the type of browser and device you are using, and the address of the page you were reading at the time. That is true of every embedded map, video, booking widget, font and analytics script, and it happens whether or not you interact with it.
Categories
Strictly necessary. Session handling, security, and the record of the choice you make about this policy. These are never optional and nothing here is sent to another company.
Functional. Features you would notice the absence of — embedded maps and video, appointment booking, translation, and spam protection on forms.
Analytics. Measures which pages are read and how people move through the site, so it can be improved.
Marketing. Advertising, retargeting and working out which campaigns brought people here.
Companies that receive data
Replace this paragraph with the list of services this site actually uses. The Discovered screen in the site administration lists every off-domain host the site has been seen reaching, which is the accurate starting point. Name each company, say what it is for, and link its own privacy policy.
Your choices
Every browser can block or delete cookies, usually under Privacy or Site settings. Blocking them wholesale will stop parts of this site working. You can also reopen this site's own notice at any time:
Cookie disclosure last reviewed: August 14, 2026. Update this date whenever the list of companies above changes.
