About Our Use of Cookies
Cookies help make your online experience more efficient and relevant to your interests. For instance, they are used to remember your login information (if you are a registered user on our website), to remember your preferences, and to help you navigate between pages more efficiently. Please read below for more detail.
What is a Cookie?
A cookie is a small text file (or set of related files) that can be stored on and accessed from your device when you visit our website.
All cookies have expiration dates in them that determine how long they stay in your browser:
Session cookies. These are temporary cookies that expire (and are automatically erased) whenever you close your browser. For example, we use session cookies to grant access to content and enable commenting (things you have to login to do).
Persistent cookies. These usually stay in your browser until they expire or until you manually delete them. For example, persistent cookies are used for functionality including the “Remember Me” tick box. We also use persistent cookies to analyze how visitors move around our website and use its features so that we can make it better for those who use it.
Why Does Lake Meridian Chiropractic Use Cookies?
We use cookies for three general purposes:
Technical Necessity. These cookies are required for the basic operation of our website. For example, some cookies allow us to ensure that people can access login pages, to manage navigation, to secure various areas of the website, and to facilitate backups (along with other similar things). These are essential for the website to work properly.
Performance Management. These cookies are used to monitor and measure the performance of our website, including how many people visit, how they navigate, and which content and features are most popular. Analyzing this information allows us to improve users’ experience with the site. You can see how Google Analytics (our primary analytics tool) uses cookie information by visiting https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites, or whatever other relevant URL Google may provide from time to time.
Functionality. These cookies “remember” your preferences between visits and are intended to make your experience on our website better. For example, a functional cookie is used to remember your login details securely if you have ticked the “Remember Me” box. This makes it possible for users to return to our site without having to login every time.
As of the effective date of this Cookie Policy (see below), Lake Meridian Chiropractic does not place third-party advertising on its website or use any kind of “retargeting” technology to track website visitors for the purpose of displaying ads on other websites at a later date.
To ensure compliance with our policies, we restrict the use of third-party cookies to a small number of trusted technology and service partners. We currently allow partners including:
- Facebook, for control of the “Follow us on Facebook” and “Like” buttons on our website. Visit Facebook’s Cookie Policy statement to learn more.

From time to time, Lake Meridian Chiropractic may make changes to our Cookie Policy in relation to changes in the law, changes to our services, changes in technology, and/or changes in our management practices.
