Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how PharmD Live uses cookies and similar technologies on its website. It should be read together with the PharmD Live Privacy & HIPAA notice.

1. What Cookies and Similar Technologies Are

Cookies are small text files stored on a browser or device when a website is visited. Similar technologies may include local storage, pixels, tags, scripts, and other tools used to operate a website, remember preferences, understand usage, measure performance, or provide third-party functionality.

Some cookies last only for the current browsing session, while others remain on the device for a defined period or until removed.

2. Necessary Storage

Strictly necessary cookies and storage technologies support functions required for the website to operate securely and reliably. These may be used for security, session handling, load balancing, fraud prevention, network management, or remembering a visitor’s cookie-consent choices.

Because these technologies are necessary to provide requested website functionality, they may operate without optional consent where permitted by applicable law.

3. Analytics Technologies, Including Approved Google Analytics Configuration

PharmD Live may use analytics tools, including Google Analytics where enabled, to understand how visitors find and use the website. Analytics can help identify frequently visited pages, navigation patterns, device and browser types, referral sources, technical performance, and interaction events.

Where consent is required, non-essential analytics technologies should not be activated until the visitor has made the appropriate consent choice. Analytics configuration should be periodically reviewed to ensure it reflects the website’s approved measurement requirements.

4. Functional and Preference Technologies

Functional technologies may remember user choices or support optional features that improve the website experience. Examples can include interface preferences, embedded content controls, language settings, or other convenience features.

5. Scheduling and Embedded Third-Party Services

PharmD Live may use Calendly or another approved scheduling provider to support the “Schedule a Consultation” experience. When a visitor opens or uses an embedded scheduling service, the provider may process information or set cookies necessary to display availability, manage the booking process, prevent abuse, or remember session information.

Visitors should not submit protected health information, patient names, diagnosis information, medication information, insurance information, or other sensitive medical details through the public consultation-booking form.

6. Marketing and Campaign Measurement Technologies

If PharmD Live enables advertising, remarketing, conversion measurement, or campaign attribution technologies, those tools may use cookies or similar identifiers to measure interactions with campaigns or website content.

Such technologies should be enabled only when approved for use and, where required, after the visitor has provided the applicable consent.

7. Consent and Cookie Preferences

Where required, PharmD Live provides a mechanism for visitors to make choices about non-essential cookies and similar technologies. Visitors may be able to accept, reject, or manage categories of optional technologies through the website’s cookie-preference controls.

Changing or withdrawing consent should not affect strictly necessary technologies required for basic site operation.

8. Browser Controls

Most browsers allow users to view, delete, block, or limit cookies. Browser controls vary by provider and device. Blocking certain cookies may affect some website functions or the availability of embedded services.

9. Do Not Track and Other Privacy Signals

Some browsers and devices may transmit privacy preference signals such as “Do Not Track” or other opt-out signals. Technical standards and legal requirements for these signals continue to evolve. PharmD Live will review and respond to legally required preference signals where applicable to the technologies in use.

10. Third-Party Providers

Third-party services used by PharmD Live may have their own privacy and cookie practices. These providers may process information according to their own terms and privacy notices. PharmD Live does not control all third-party cookie lifetimes or downstream processing performed by those providers.

11. Cookie Retention

Retention depends on the type and purpose of each cookie or technology. Session cookies may expire when the browser is closed, while persistent cookies may remain for a defined period. PharmD Live periodically reviews its website configuration and should remove technologies that are no longer required.

12. Production Cookie Inventory

Before this policy is switched to LIVE, PharmD Live should confirm the active production inventory of cookies and trackers, including analytics, scheduling, consent-management, embedded services, and any marketing technologies. The final cookie-preference configuration should match the technologies actually enabled on the production website.

13. Changes to This Cookie Policy

PharmD Live may update this Cookie Policy when website functionality, analytics services, scheduling tools, advertising tools, consent requirements, or legal obligations change.

14. Contact

Questions about cookies, analytics, or privacy choices should be directed to PharmD Live using the contact information provided on the website.
