A note about health information

This website provides general information about our locations and services. It is not a patient portal and it does not collect medical information. Please do not submit personal health information through this website; call your health center directly instead.

Visitor counting (analytics), and your choice about it

We use one analytics tool, WordPress.com Stats (a service of Automattic Inc., also called Jetpack Stats), to count page views and visits so we can understand which pages are useful to our patients and community. When it runs, it receives standard technical information from your browser, such as your IP address, browser type, and the page you viewed.

It only runs if you allow it. The first time you visit, a “Privacy choices” notice appears at the bottom of the screen with two equal options: Allow analytics, or Decline. No analytics code runs, and nothing is sent to WordPress.com, unless you choose Allow. If you decline, or simply ignore the notice, every part of this website still works exactly the same.

  • Changing your mind: a “Privacy Choices” link at the bottom of every page lets you review or change your choice at any time. Your choice is remembered for six months, then we ask again.
  • Browser privacy signals: if your browser sends the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, we treat that as a Decline automatically and you will not see the notice.
  • What we keep about your choice: a record containing a random identifier, the choice you made, the version of the notice you saw, and the date and time. It contains no name, no IP address, and no other personal information. We keep it for up to three years as evidence of your choice, then delete it.

We do not use advertising pixels, retargeting tools, session-recording tools, or social media trackers anywhere on this site.

Cookies

  • hcg_consent: set only when you make a privacy choice. It remembers that choice for six months. It identifies your choice, not you, and is not shared with anyone.
  • Comment cookies: if you leave a comment you may opt in to saving your name, email, and website so you do not have to re-enter them next time. These last one year.
