Like almost all professional websites, this one uses cookies, which are small files that are downloaded to your computer. Cookies are text files that are saved on your computer, mobile device, etc. when you visit a website. They are typically composed of characters and numbers. To fully utilize every feature on this website, cookies are required. These cookies are necessary in order to use the website and all of its features. We also use analytics cookies to learn more about our website visitors and the marketing, goods, and services we provide, as well as performance optimization cookies to improve your online experience.
This page describes what information they gather, how we use it, and why we sometimes have to keep these cookies enabled. We’ll also go over how to prevent these cookies from being saved, though doing so may cause certain features of the website to malfunction or perform worse. We will only use performance and analysis cookies with your permission if, as required by applicable law, you have checked the corresponding box in the Cookie Information Message that appears when you first visit our website. This message may occasionally reappear if the relevant cookie is rejected or removed (see “Cookie Settings,” below).
Cookies can be disabled in the browser’s settings. Please be aware that this could potentially affect the strictly necessary cookies, which are vital to the functionality of this website. Consequently, some features of the website may not function as intended if you disable (all) cookies. Furthermore, without cookies, we would be unable to enhance your online experience. For example, you will be prompted to choose the language each time you see the Cookie Information Message. Additionally, you can adjust your browser’s settings to get alerts when cookies are being set.
HOW ARE COOKIES USED?
Here are a few of the purposes for which we use cookies. Sadly, most of the time, using industry-standard techniques to disable cookies on this website would mean completely blocking all of the features and functionality they provide. It is recommended that you keep cookies enabled on all of your devices, even if you are not sure if they are required for a service you use.
OUR USE OF TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES AND COOKIES
The following are some points made by Oakville Naturopathic Doctor regarding cookies and tracking technologies on our websites:
INTERNET BEACONS
We use web beacons as a tool to enhance content management in our subscriber emails. Web beacons are tiny, individually identifiable images that are used to track an online user’s activities. Whereas cookies are stored on a user’s hard drive, web beacons are undetectable online components that are embedded on websites. They assist us in determining which recipients of our HTML-based emails have clicked through, which helps us evaluate the success of our marketing campaigns.
PIXELS
A pixel is the code that is installed on your computer in order to trigger the setting of a cookie. We use this method from time to time to deliver messages that are more relevant to you.
LOG FILES
To keep track of what happens on our websites, we use log files. This could involve a variety of factors, such as the nature, content, and timing of any transactions you conduct using your device. Thanks to these audit trails, we are able to review activities on our websites.
HOW AND WHY COOKIES AND TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES ARE USED
Cookies are divided into two types based on how they are arranged:
SESSION COOKIES
are temporarily kept in your computer’s RAM when you visit websites, and they are deleted when your browser is closed.
PERSISTENT COOKIES
kept for a predetermined amount of time on your computer and used to identify whether or not we have already interacted with it.
Our websites may use cookies in one of two ways:
1ST PARTY COOKIES
Cookies set up by the domain name of the website (or one of its subdomains).
3RD PARTY COOKIES
Cookies that originate from an alternate domain on the web. (For example, by one of our main technology partners or by an external web service).
CLASSIFICATION OF COOKIES
The following categories apply to cookies that we and our primary technology partners have placed on the website:
CATEGORY 1: COOKIES THAT ARE STRICTLY NECESSARY
Because they enable you to navigate a website and use its features, like accessing secure areas, these cookies are essential. Without these cookies, it would be impossible to provide you the services you have requested (such as access to restricted areas). No personal information about you is gathered by these cookies that might be utilized for marketing purposes or to monitor your online activity.
CATEGORY 2: PERFORMANCE COOKIES
These cookies collect information about your usage of the website, including which pages you visit most frequently and the error messages you get on specific pages.

To ensure that all of our communications and services are relevant to you, these cookies may be used. Your online activity on other websites cannot be tracked thanks to the information these cookies collect. The operation of a website is dependent on these cookies.
CATEGORY 4: TARGETING AND ADVERTISING COOKIES
We use these to show you ads on our websites that we believe are more appropriate for you. If these cookies are removed, the online ads you see will be less customized to your needs and preferences.
