Cookie Policy

1. Purpose of This Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how DentistExpand uses cookies and similar technologies on our website and product surfaces.

It describes what we store, why we store it, and how you can manage your preferences.

2. What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files placed on your browser or device to help websites remember state, settings, and interactions.

Similar technologies may include local storage, pixel tags, and session identifiers used for operational and measurement purposes.

3. Cookie Categories We Use

Strictly Necessary: Required for core functions such as authentication, session continuity, security checks, and cart/account workflows.

Performance and Analytics: Used to understand traffic patterns, feature usage, and page-level performance so we can improve user experience.

Functional Preferences: Store non-essential preferences such as UI choices and convenience settings.

Security and Fraud Prevention: Support anomaly detection, abuse prevention, and protection of platform integrity.

4. Why We Use Cookies on DentistExpand

We use cookies to keep users signed in, protect accounts, preserve checkout and prospector workflow state, and improve website reliability.

We also use measurement tools to identify usability issues and optimize pages such as pricing, legal, and support views.

5. First-Party and Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set by DentistExpand directly for platform operations and user experience consistency.

Third-party cookies may be set by integrated service providers (for example analytics, infrastructure, or support tooling) under contractual controls.

6. Retention Periods

Session cookies expire when you close your browser, while persistent cookies remain for a defined period based on operational need.

Retention length varies by cookie purpose (security, analytics, or preference) and may be updated during platform changes.

7. Legal Basis and Consent

Where required by law, non-essential cookies are used only after valid consent. Essential cookies remain active because they are necessary for service operation.

You can update consent choices through browser settings and any on-site preference controls we make available.

8. Managing Cookie Preferences

Most browsers allow you to block, delete, or restrict cookies through privacy settings.

If you disable essential cookies, parts of the site such as login, purchase flows, or protected features may not function correctly.

9. Do Not Track and Similar Signals

Some browsers transmit Do Not Track (DNT) signals. Because no universal standard exists, responses may vary by tool and context.

We continue to review evolving standards and align practical controls with applicable privacy regulations.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect legal, technical, or operational changes. Material updates are posted with a revised effective date.
