Your choices
Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies through their settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent the Site from functioning correctly. Where required by law, we will request your consent before setting non-essential cookies and will honor a Global Privacy Control signal where one is present.
Third-party cookies
When a third-party service (for example, our scheduling provider) is embedded or linked from the Site, that provider may set its own cookies subject to its own privacy policy. We use the smallest set of providers practical and list the categories above; specific vendor names are available on request.

We may update this policy as we add or remove cookies. Material changes will be indicated by updating the effective date at the top of this page.
