What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give website owners useful information about how their site is being used.
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them on DentalReach, the types of cookies we use, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.
How We Use Cookies
DentalReach uses cookies for several purposes:
- Authentication: To keep you signed in and maintain your session securely
- Preferences: To remember your settings, such as theme and accessibility options
- Analytics: To understand how visitors use our website so we can improve it
- Security: To protect against fraudulent activity and ensure safe browsing
Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
Always Active
These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function properly. They enable core functionality such as user authentication, session management, and security features. Without these cookies, the website cannot function properly, and they cannot be disabled.
Analytics Cookies
Optional • Off until you accept
We use Google Analytics 4 to see which pages are read, for how long, and how readers find us, and Microsoft Clarity for heatmaps and session recordings of clicks, taps and scrolling, so we can find where pages are hard to use. Clarity masks what you type into forms, and pages that show other members’ details are masked entirely. Neither tool sets a cookie until you switch analytics on. Until then, Google Analytics receives only cookieless signals with no identifier, which it uses to estimate overall traffic. Vercel Web Analytics also counts page visits without cookies or any identifier, whatever you choose here.
Preference Cookies
Optional
These cookies allow us to remember choices you make, such as your preferred language, theme (light or dark mode), and accessibility settings. They help provide a more personalized experience tailored to your preferences.
Marketing Cookies
Optional • Off until you accept
With your consent, Google Analytics may share visit data with Google Ads, and Microsoft Clarity with Microsoft Advertising, to measure advertising campaigns. Leaving this off does not change the adverts you see on DentalReach, which are booked directly with us and are not based on your browsing elsewhere.
