Our website uses cookies to improve your experience.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small files stored on your device.
Cookies We Use
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Expiry | Category |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| spinealign_cookie_consent | This site | Remembers your cookie preference | Persistent (until you clear browser data) | Essential |
| Analytics Cookies | Not yet in use | Would help us understand website usage | N/A — not currently active | Optional |
| Preference Cookies | Not yet in use | Would remember your on-site preferences | N/A — not currently active | Optional |
| Google Maps cookies | Set only if you click "Load Map" to view our location | Set by Google, outside our control | Optional |
We currently do not run any analytics or advertising trackers of our own. If we add any in future, they will only activate for visitors who select "Accept All". Our Google Maps embed does not load automatically — it only loads, and only sets Google's cookies, if you click "Load Map" or select "Accept All".
Third-Party Services on This Site
Some features on this site are provided by third parties, who may set their own cookies when you interact with them:
- Zanda — our booking system. When you click "Book Consultation," you leave our site and go to Zanda's own booking portal, which has its own privacy and cookie practices.
- Google Maps — embedded on our Contact page to show our location. Google may set its own cookies when this map loads.
- WhatsApp — our WhatsApp button links to wa.me, operated by WhatsApp/Meta, which has its own privacy practices. Starting a WhatsApp conversation with us means your message and phone number are handled according to WhatsApp/Meta's own privacy policy, not just ours.
Google Fonts: This website does not use Google Fonts or any other externally-hosted font service — fonts are served from your device's own operating system, so no font-related data is sent to Google.
