Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Patrons Healthcare Services LLC ("we," "us") uses cookies and similar technologies on www.patronshcs.com, and how you can control them. It should be read together with our Privacy Notice.

1. What Are Cookies?

   Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device. Similar technologies, such as local storage, work in comparable ways. They are used to make websites work, to remember your choices, and, where you allow it, to understand how a site is used.

2. Categories We Use

   • Strictly necessary. Required for the Website to work and to remember your cookie choices. These are always on and do not require consent.
   • Analytics. Help us understand how visitors use the Website so we can improve it. These are off unless you turn them on.
   • Marketing and advertising. Used to measure or personalize advertising across websites. These are off unless you turn them on.

   At the time of this notice, the Website sets only strictly necessary cookies and storage. The analytics and marketing categories are listed so that, if we add such tools in future, they will load only after you opt in.

4. Managing Your Choices

   When you first visit, a banner lets you accept all, reject non-essential cookies, or customize your choices. You can change your mind at any time using the Cookie Settings link in the footer of every page.

   We keep a record of your choices (your choices, the date, the policy version, and a randomly generated identifier) so we can show that we honored them. See our Privacy Notice for details.

5. Global Privacy Control

   If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, we treat it as a request to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information and keep marketing cookies switched off.

6. Browser Controls

   You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may mean your cookie choices cannot be remembered between visits.

7. Changes to This Policy

   We may update this Cookie Policy when our practices or the tools we use change. The "Last Updated" date above shows the latest revision. If a change affects the categories of cookies we use, we will ask for your choices again.
