Cookie Policy
How the Sunridge Medical website may use cookies, pixels, local storage, embedded content, and similar technologies—and the choices available to visitors.
Last updated: August 25, 2026
Important review notice: This page is written in plain language for website visitors and patients. Because legal requirements and Sunridge operations may change, Sunridge should have qualified healthcare/privacy counsel review this page before the local site is deployed to production.
What Cookies and Similar Technologies Are
Cookies are small data files placed on a browser or device. Similar technologies include pixels, tags, local storage, embedded scripts, and device identifiers. They can remember settings, support security, measure website use, and enable content supplied by third parties.
Technologies the Website May Use
The exact technologies present can change as the website, plugins, forms, security tools, videos, maps, analytics, and other services are updated. Sunridge may use:
- Strictly necessary technologies for website operation, network management, load balancing, security, spam prevention, forms, consent preferences, and accessibility.
- Functional technologies that remember display, language, form, or interface preferences.
- Analytics and performance technologies that help measure visits, navigation, errors, and website effectiveness.
- Embedded-content technologies used by videos, maps, social media, scheduling, laboratory, or supplement services.
- Advertising or measurement technologies if Sunridge enables them, subject to applicable choices and legal requirements.
Cookie Categories and Typical Duration
| Category | Purpose | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Security, forms, load balancing, consent choices, and core operation | Session to approximately 12 months |
| Functional | Remembering settings and interface preferences | Session to approximately 12 months |
| Analytics/performance | Understanding visits, navigation, performance, and errors | Session to approximately 24 months |
| Embedded content | Displaying third-party video, maps, social features, or other services | Set by the third party |
| Advertising/measurement | Measuring campaigns or personalizing outreach when enabled | Set by the provider, subject to applicable consent |
These are category-level descriptions, not a promise that every listed category is active. A technical cookie scan should be completed before production deployment and after material website changes.
Forms and Health-Related Information
Website forms may request contact details and voluntary information about a diagnosis, symptoms, or reason for reaching out. Technologies associated with a form must be configured so health information is not impermissibly disclosed to an analytics or advertising provider. A cookie-consent choice does not replace a HIPAA-compliant authorization when HIPAA requires one.
Third-Party Technologies
Third parties that provide embedded video, maps, CAPTCHA, social media, website analytics, laboratory services, supplements, email, or other functionality may set or read their own technologies. Their practices are governed by their policies. Sunridge should limit third-party technologies on pages that collect or display health information and use appropriate agreements and safeguards when required.
Your Cookie Choices
Where a consent tool is presented, use it to accept, reject, or adjust nonessential categories. You can also delete or block cookies through browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary technologies may prevent forms, preferences, or other features from working correctly.
Browser-based signals such as Global Privacy Control may be recognized where required by applicable law. Browser “Do Not Track” signals are not interpreted consistently across the industry.
Consent and Regional Requirements
Some jurisdictions require prior consent before nonessential technologies are placed or accessed. Where those rules apply, Sunridge should not activate nonessential analytics, advertising, or similar technologies until a visitor has made the required choice. Strictly necessary technologies may be exempt from consent but should still be described.
Updates to Cookie Use
Sunridge may update this Cookie Policy when technologies or legal requirements change. The “Last updated” date identifies the current version. A new consent choice may be requested when required by law or when uses materially change.
