Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored in your web browser directory when you load web pages. They serve to recognize your preferences and keep you logged in between visits, ensuring a smooth navigation flow.

2. How ClinicRanks Uses Cookies

ClinicRanks does not use tracking cookies for target marketing or commercial advertisements. We use cookies exclusively for the following core tasks:

• Essential Session Cookies: We utilize secure database tokens (such as Supabase authorization states) to verify if you are logged in to the dashboard to claim or manage listings.
• Preference Cookies: Basic settings (such as chosen language or filters) are saved to prevent you from re-selecting them on every page load.
• Performance Analytics (Anonymous): We log anonymized speed indicators to monitor load times across our state directory grids, helping us optimize mobile rendering speeds.

3. Third-Party Cookies

Because we do not accept advertisements or commercial sponsorships, there are no third-party marketing beacons or retargeting cookies from advertising networks (like Google AdSense or Meta Pixel) set on our directory.

4. Toggling and Disabling Cookies

You can modify, block, or delete cookies at any time directly through your browser's settings panel. If you choose to fully disable cookies, please note that credential login features (for claiming dentist profiles) may fail to preserve session states correctly.
