1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how Aurelia Dental Studio uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website, interact with our online forms, request information, schedule or inquire about appointments, or use other digital features we make available. This policy is intended to help you understand what these technologies are, why we use them, and the choices you may have.
In this policy, cookies refers to small text files placed on your device, and similar technologies includes pixels, tags, local storage, software development kits, and other tools that store or access information on your browser or device. These technologies may collect information such as device identifiers, browser type, pages viewed, approximate location, referring pages, time spent on pages, and interactions with website features.
Aurelia Dental Studio is a dental studio located at 520 Madison Avenue, Suite 1800, New York, NY 10022, US. This Cookie Policy applies to our public-facing website and related online services, but it does not replace any notice provided in connection with patient care, health information, or other regulated records. If you have questions about this policy, you may contact us at hello@aureliadentalstudio.com.
This Cookie Policy is effective as of 2026-05-22.
2. Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies to operate our website, protect our digital services, understand how visitors use our content, improve website performance, and support communications about our services. Some cookies are necessary for the website to function. Others help us evaluate website traffic, remember preferences, or measure the effectiveness of our informational campaigns.
Because Aurelia Dental Studio provides dental services, our website may include features such as appointment request forms, contact forms, service descriptions, practice information, and educational materials. Cookies may help these features work properly and securely. For example, cookies can help prevent repeated form errors, support fraud prevention, maintain session functionality, and identify technical issues that interfere with access to our website.
We do not use cookies to diagnose, treat, or provide dental advice. Information collected through cookies is generally about website usage and devices rather than direct clinical care. If you submit information through a form, call us, or communicate with us by email, that information may be handled separately from cookie data and may be subject to additional privacy notices or legal requirements.
3. Types of Cookies and Similar Technologies
Cookies may be placed by us directly or by third parties that provide services to us. First-party cookies are set by our website. Third-party cookies are set by other companies, such as analytics providers, security providers, or advertising technology providers, when their tools are used on our website.
Cookies may also be categorized by duration. Session cookies typically expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period unless you delete them earlier. The duration of a cookie depends on its purpose and the settings of the technology provider.
Similar technologies may work differently from traditional cookies. Pixels and tags may help record whether a page was viewed or whether a message or advertisement was interacted with. Local storage may store information within your browser to remember preferences or support functionality. Device and browser identifiers may help us understand repeat visits or distinguish between different devices in aggregated reporting.
4. Cookie Categories We May Use
Depending on the configuration of our website and the tools active at a given time, we may use the following categories of cookies and similar technologies:
- Strictly necessary cookies: These are required for core website functions, such as page navigation, security, form submission, load balancing, fraud prevention, and maintaining basic session features. Without these cookies, parts of the website may not operate correctly.
- Performance and analytics cookies: These help us understand how visitors use the website, such as which pages are visited, how long visitors stay, which pages produce errors, and how users arrive at our site. We use this information to improve content, usability, and technical performance.
- Functionality cookies: These remember choices you make, such as preferences, form-related settings, display options, or other customizations. They help provide a more consistent and convenient browsing experience.
- Security cookies: These help protect our website, detect suspicious activity, reduce spam or abuse, and maintain the integrity of online forms and systems.
- Advertising and measurement cookies: These may be used to measure the effectiveness of marketing campaigns, understand whether visitors interacted with our website after seeing online content, and help tailor or limit promotional messaging. Where required, these technologies may be subject to your consent or opt-out choices.
- Social media or embedded content cookies: If our website includes embedded maps, videos, social media features, reviews, or similar content, the providers of those features may place cookies or collect information about your interaction with the embedded content.
Not every category may be active at all times. The exact cookies present on the website may change as we update our services, security tools, analytics tools, or website functionality.
5. Information Collected Through Cookies
The information collected through cookies and similar technologies may include technical and usage data. This can include your IP address, browser type, operating system, device type, approximate location inferred from IP address, pages visited, referring URL, date and time of visit, interactions with pages, session duration, form interaction events, cookie identifiers, and similar online activity information.
Some of this information may be considered personal information under certain U.S. state privacy laws when it identifies, relates to, describes, or can reasonably be linked with a particular consumer or household. In some circumstances, cookie-related information used for cross-context behavioral advertising may be subject to opt-out rights under laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, commonly referred to in this policy as the CCPA.
We do not intend for visitors to submit sensitive health or dental information through cookies. However, if you provide information through a form or communicate with us online, that information may be combined with other contact or service request information for the purpose of responding to you, managing inquiries, or providing requested services. Please avoid submitting urgent medical or dental information through general website forms.
6. Third-Party Tools and Service Providers
We may use third-party providers to support website hosting, analytics, security, appointment inquiry tools, email communications, mapping features, advertising measurement, or other website operations. These providers may place or read cookies and similar technologies when you use our website.
Third-party providers may process information on our behalf as service providers, processors, or contractors, or they may process information for their own purposes depending on the tool and the relationship. For example, an analytics provider may help us understand aggregate traffic trends, while an advertising or measurement provider may help evaluate whether online campaigns led visitors to our website.
We seek to work with reputable providers and to configure tools in a manner consistent with applicable law and our privacy commitments. However, third-party technologies may be governed by the privacy and cookie practices of the relevant provider. Your browser, device, and platform settings may also affect how these technologies operate.
7. Your Cookie Choices
You have several ways to manage cookies. Most browsers allow you to block, delete, or limit cookies through browser settings. These settings vary by browser and device. If you block all cookies, some parts of the website may not function properly, including security tools, form features, or preference settings.
If we provide a cookie banner or preference tool, you may use it to manage non-essential cookie categories where required or offered. Your choices may be stored using a cookie, so if you delete cookies, use a different browser, or use a different device, you may need to renew your preferences.
You may also be able to control certain advertising or analytics technologies through device settings, browser privacy features, or industry opt-out tools. These choices may not block all advertising, but they may limit certain interest-based or cross-context behavioral advertising activities. Some browser signals, such as Global Privacy Control, may be recognized where required by applicable law and technically feasible.
If you have difficulty accessing or using cookie controls, you may contact us at hello@aureliadentalstudio.com. We will make reasonable efforts to assist you, although some controls depend on your browser, device, or third-party technology providers.
8. U.S. State Privacy Rights and CCPA Notice
Residents of certain U.S. states may have privacy rights regarding personal information collected through cookies and similar technologies. These rights may include the right to know or access categories of personal information collected, the right to request deletion, the right to correct inaccurate personal information, the right to opt out of certain targeted advertising or sales, and the right not to be discriminated against for exercising privacy rights.
For California residents, the CCPA may apply to certain businesses and certain uses of personal information. Depending on how our website tools are configured, cookie-related identifiers, internet or other electronic network activity information, approximate geolocation information, and inferences may be collected. If these technologies are used for cross-context behavioral advertising or shared with certain third parties, you may have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information as those terms are defined by the CCPA.
We do not knowingly sell personal information in the traditional sense of exchanging it for money. However, some advertising or analytics technologies may be considered a sale, sharing, targeted advertising, or cross-context behavioral advertising under some privacy laws. Where required, we will provide a method to exercise applicable opt-out rights, which may include a cookie preference tool, recognition of qualifying browser signals, or contact-based request methods.
To submit a privacy-related request, you may contact us at hello@aureliadentalstudio.com. We may need to verify your request and confirm the state law that applies. Authorized agents may be required to provide proof of authorization and, where permitted by law, we may ask the consumer to verify their identity directly with us.
9. Retention of Cookie Information
Cookies remain on your device for different periods depending on their purpose and configuration. Session cookies usually expire when your browsing session ends. Persistent cookies may remain for days, months, or longer unless deleted sooner. Similar technologies may have their own retention periods.
Information collected through cookies may be retained in our systems or in the systems of our service providers for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy. These purposes may include website operation, security, analytics, troubleshooting, legal compliance, recordkeeping, and improvement of our services. Aggregated or de-identified data may be retained for longer where it no longer reasonably identifies you.
Retention periods may vary based on the sensitivity of the information, the nature of the technology, legal requirements, contractual obligations, and our legitimate business needs. We take reasonable steps to avoid retaining cookie-related personal information longer than necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.
10. Children and Sensitive Information
Our website is intended for a general audience and is not designed to collect personal information from children through cookies for behavioral advertising purposes. We do not knowingly use cookies to collect personal information from children under 13 without appropriate consent where required by law.
Because Aurelia Dental Studio provides dental services, parents or guardians may use the website to request information or communicate with us regarding services. General website cookies are not intended to collect clinical information, dental history, insurance details, or other sensitive information unless you voluntarily provide such information through a website feature. Please use care when submitting information online and avoid including sensitive details unless necessary.
If you believe a child has provided personal information to us through the website in a manner that requires deletion or review, please contact us at hello@aureliadentalstudio.com.
11. Updates to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our website, technology providers, legal requirements, or business practices. When we update the policy, we will revise the effective date or provide other notice as appropriate.
Your continued use of the website after an updated Cookie Policy is posted means that you acknowledge the updated policy, to the extent permitted by law. If material changes affect cookies that require consent or additional choices, we will seek consent or provide additional options where required.
We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically so you understand how cookies and similar technologies may be used when you visit our website.
