This Cookies Policy explains what cookies are, how Better Health Dental uses them on betterhealthdental.com, and how you can manage your cookie preferences. By using our website, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this policy.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide website operators with information about how their site is used.
Cookies may be "session cookies" (which expire when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (which remain on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them). They may be set by us ("first-party cookies") or by third-party services we use ("third-party cookies").
2. Types of Cookies We Use
3. Third-Party Cookies in Detail
The following third-party services may set cookies when you visit our website:

4. How to Manage & Opt Out of Cookies

5. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want to be tracked. Our website does not currently respond to DNT signals, as there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to such signals. We continue to monitor developments in this area.
