Cookie Policy
Last updated: September 1, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Bold Bite Orthodontics uses cookies and similar technologies on orthodontistjacksonville.com, what each one does, and how you control them. It is part of our Privacy Policy.
What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores in your browser. Some cookies are essential for a site to work; others are used to measure how the site is used. Similar technologies, such as scripts and pixels, can collect the same kinds of information without storing a file. This policy covers all of them.
How consent works on this site
The first time you visit, a banner asks whether you accept cookies. Accept and Reject are equal choices, and Preferences lets you choose by category. Until you choose, the site sets only strictly necessary cookies and loads no analytics tools. Scrolling, clicking, or continuing to browse is not treated as consent.
You can change your mind at any time: click Cookie Preferences in the footer of any page to reopen the banner. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, we treat it as “Reject” automatically. Your choice is stored in first-party cmplz_ cookies and recorded in a consent log (date, time, and the categories you allowed) so we can show that we honored it.
Categories we use
Strictly necessary (always on)
Needed for the site to load, stay secure, and remember your cookie choice. They do not track you across other sites.
Analytics (only if you accept)
Google Analytics 4 tells us how many people visit, which pages they read, and whether the site works well on their devices. It runs through Google Tag Manager with Google Consent Mode, so nothing is measured until you accept. We use the reports to improve the site. Analytics never runs on our contact, consultation request, or payment plan pages, whatever you chose.
Advertising
We do not currently use advertising cookies or pixels on this site. If that changes, this page and the Privacy Policy will be updated first and the tools will run only with your consent.

The table below lists every cookie the site can set, who sets it, why, how long it lasts, and its category.

Third-party content that is not a cookie
Some pages load content from other companies. Loading it sends your IP address and the page address to that company, and the company may set its own cookies under its own policy:
- Google Maps (site footer): the map of our office. Google’s privacy policy applies.
- YouTube (a few pages): videos embedded in privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com), which sets no cookies until you press play.
- Greyfinch (Free Orthodontic Consultation page): the consultation request form is hosted by our practice software provider.
- Gravatar (blog comments): the avatar image next to a comment is fetched from Gravatar.
- InLinks (all pages): a script from jscloud.net that adds related links between our own pages. In our testing it set no cookies.
- Cloudflare Turnstile (contact form): a bot check that runs without a visible puzzle.
Managing cookies in your browser
Besides our banner, every browser lets you view, delete, and block cookies. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of the site from working. Instructions: Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge.
Changes to this policy
We update this page whenever a cookie or third-party tool is added, changed, or removed, before the change goes live. The “Last updated” date at the top shows the most recent revision.
