Cookie and Similar Technology Policy

Hybridge, LLC and its affiliated dental practices in Buffalo, NY (Buffalo Dental Smile Design P.C.), Rochester, NY (Elmwood Dental Group – Implant and Restoration, P.C.), and Syracuse, NY (Syracuse Dental Smile Design P.C.), (“Hybridge,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) use cookies and similar technologies on hybridgeimplants.com and in our email and digital advertising (collectively, the “Services”). This Cookie Policy explains what these technologies are, how and why we use them, and the choices you have. It forms part of our broader Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies

A cookie is a small text file placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website, allowing the site to recognize your device on return visits. Cookies we set directly are “first party cookies”; those set by partners are “third party cookies.” We also use related technologies such as web beacons (also called pixels, tags, or clear GIFs), which can tell us whether you opened an email or viewed a particular page, and local storage and similar identifiers that work alongside cookies.

2. Why We Use Them

We use cookies and similar technologies to keep the site working and secure, to remember your preferences, to understand how visitors find and move through our site so we can improve it, to measure the performance of our content and advertising, and to deliver marketing that is more relevant to you across our site and third party platforms. Some of this activity involves sharing online identifiers and browsing information with analytics and advertising partners such as Google Analytics, Lucky Orange, and the Meta Pixel.

3. Categories of Cookies We Use

Essential

Required for the site to function and to deliver services you request, including navigation, form submission, and security. This category includes cookies set by our content delivery and security provider, Cloudflare, to distinguish visitors from automated traffic, remember that a visitor has passed a security check, and apply rate limits. These are always active and cannot be switched off through our consent tool.

Analytics

Help us measure usage and improve the site by showing which pages are visited most and where errors occur.

Marketing

Measure advertising effectiveness, limit how often you see an ad, and support retargeting across other sites and platforms.

Personalization

Remember choices such as region or language and provide enhanced features. Not every cookie in these categories is active on every page or at all times.

4. Third Party Cookies

Some cookies and pixels are set by partners who provide analytics, measurement, and advertising services, including Google, Meta (Facebook and Instagram), Microsoft, LinkedIn, YouTube, and similar providers. These partners collect information about your interaction with our site, such as pages viewed and links clicked, and may combine it with data they hold. We also use Lucky Orange, which provides session-recording and heatmap analytics that capture how visitors interact with our site, such as mouse movements, clicks, and scrolling. Their use of your information is governed by their own privacy policies.

We also use Cloudflare as a content delivery network and website security provider. Cloudflare may set cookies such as __cf_bm, cf_clearance, and _cfuvid to identify automated traffic, record that a visitor has completed a security check, and distinguish visitors who share a single IP address. These are security cookies. They are not used for advertising and are not used to track you across other websites. Cloudflare's use of this information is governed by its own privacy policy.

5. Your Choices

Consent Tool

You can accept or reject non-essential cookies, and change your choices at any time, using the “Manage Cookie Preferences” control on our site. Essential cookies cannot be rejected because the site relies on them.

Global Privacy Control

We honor GPC browser signals as a valid request to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information.

Browser Settings

Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings, typically found in the options or preferences menu. Instructions are available in each browser's help resources for Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, and Opera. Blocking or deleting cookies may affect how the site works for you.

Advertising Opt-Outs

You can opt out of certain interest based advertising through the Digital Advertising Alliance at optout.aboutads.info and the Network Advertising Initiative at thenai.org.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in the technologies we use or for legal or operational reasons. When we do, we will revise the date above.
