Cookie Policy

Effective date: 28 August 2025 This Cookie Policy explains how Sharanya Dental (“Sharanya Dental”, “we”, “our”, “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website and landing pages (including those used with Google Ads). Please read this together with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use. By selecting your preferences on our cookie banner or continuing to browse (where permitted by law), you agree to our use of cookies as described below.

1) What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. They help the site function, remember your preferences, and understand how you use the site. We may also use related technologies such as pixels, tags, SDKs, local storage, and web beacons—collectively referred to as “cookies” in this Policy.

2) Why We Use Cookies

We use cookies to:

• Operate the site (security, page navigation, appointment forms).
• Remember choices (language, form inputs, consent settings).
• Measure performance (which pages are visited, errors, load times).
• Improve ads (measure campaign performance and, where you consent, show relevant ads).

We do not use cookies to collect sensitive medical information.

3) Legal Basis & Consent

• Essential cookies are processed based on our legitimate interests in delivering a secure, functioning website.
• Non-essential cookies (analytics, advertising) are used only with your consent where required. You can give, refuse, or withdraw consent at any time via the cookie banner/preferences.

We maintain a consent log to evidence your choices.

4) Managing Cookies

Your options include:

• Preferences Centre: Use the cookie banner link (“Cookie Settings” or similar) to enable/disable categories at any time.
• Browser Controls: Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. Check help pages for Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, etc.
• Mobile Ad Settings: On iOS/Android, you can limit ad tracking in system settings.
• Analytics Opt-Out: You may install add-ons provided by analytics providers to opt out of measurement on your device.

If you block or delete cookies, some features—such as appointment forms or embedded media—may not work properly.

5) Third-Party Cookies & Data Sharing

Third parties (e.g., Google for Analytics/Ads, video or map providers, CDNs) may set their own cookies when their services are used on our pages. These parties process data according to their own privacy/cookie notices. We take reasonable steps to engage reputable providers and to respect your consent choices (e.g., not loading non-essential tags until you opt in). Where servers are located outside India, data may be transferred internationally with appropriate safeguards.

6) Cookies on Landing Pages Used for Ads

Our marketing landing pages connected to Google Ads may use additional conversion and campaign measurement tags. We configure these to respect your consent selections. Where advertising policies restrict certain tracking, we follow the stricter platform rule.

7) Do Not Track (DNT)

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” signal. There is no common industry standard yet; however, we honour your explicit cookie preferences set via our banner.

8) Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in technology, law, or our practices. The Effective date above shows the latest version. Significant changes will be communicated on the site (e.g., banner notice) where appropriate.
