Effective date: June 18, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Blackburn & Williams Orthodontics (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on blackburnortho.com (the “Site”). It also explains your choices. Read it together with our Privacy Policy.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device. They let the site remember your actions and preferences (such as language, font size, or whether you have dismissed a banner) over a period of time, so you do not have to re-enter them on each visit. Some cookies are essential to making a site work. Others help the site owner understand how people use the site so it can be improved.

Types of Cookies We Use

Strictly necessary cookies. These are required for the Site to function. They include session cookies that keep your form entries during a visit, security cookies that protect against fraud, and cookies that remember your cookie-consent choice so the banner does not appear on every page. You cannot opt out of strictly necessary cookies if you want to use the Site.

Analytics cookies. We use Google Analytics 4 and Google Tag Manager (Google LLC) to understand how visitors find and use the Site, which pages are most useful, and where we can improve. These cookies collect information in an aggregated, generally non-identifying form, including the number of visitors, the pages visited, and the referring site. We do not use these cookies to advertise to you.

Functional cookies. Some tools on the Site, including the accessibility widget, set cookies to remember your display preferences (such as contrast or font size) between visits.

Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are set by third parties whose services we use:

Google Analytics / Google Tag Manager: traffic measurement and site analytics.
Embedded content: if a page on the Site embeds content from a third party (for example, a YouTube video), that third party may set its own cookies. Their privacy and cookie policies apply to those cookies, not ours.

Your Choices

You have several ways to manage cookies:

Consent banner. On your first visit, our cookie consent banner asks for your preferences. You can accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or adjust your choices by category. You can change your choices at any time by clicking the cookie preferences link in the Site footer.
Browser settings. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. Check your browser’s Help menu for instructions. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent some Site features from working.
Google Analytics opt-out. You can install the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout to prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data on any site.

Do Not Track

Some browsers send a “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal. There is no industry standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals, so the Site does not currently respond to them. We rely on the cookie consent banner instead.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The “Effective date” at the top reflects the most recent revision.
