COOKIE POLICY

Effective Date: August 2, 2026
Last Updated: August 2, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Wellness Refined uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit wellnessrefined.clinic.

Wellness Refined is a DBA of The Injection Specialist. In this Policy, “Wellness Refined,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to the practice operating under the Wellness Refined name.

This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and HIPAA Notice.

1. WHAT ARE COOKIES?

Cookies are small data files placed on or accessed through your browser when you visit a website. Cookies can help a website remember preferences, maintain security, understand how visitors use the site, and support advertising or measurement features.

Similar technologies may include pixels, tags, scripts, local storage, software development kits, and device identifiers. Some tracking technologies, including pixels, may operate independently of traditional browser cookies.

2. HOW WE MAY USE COOKIES

Depending on the features and settings enabled on the website, Wellness Refined may use cookies and similar technologies to:

  • Operate and secure the website
  • Remember your preferences
  • Improve website performance
  • Understand how visitors navigate the website
  • Measure the effectiveness of website content
  • Prevent spam, fraud, and unauthorized activity
  • Support embedded maps, videos, scheduling links, or other third-party features
  • Measure advertising campaigns where legally permitted
  • Remember and apply your cookie choices

We do not use cookies as a substitute for clinical evaluation, secure patient communication, or medical-record documentation.

3. CATEGORIES OF COOKIES

STRICTLY NECESSARY COOKIES

These cookies support essential website functions, security, fraud prevention, network management, consent preferences, and form operation.

The website may not function correctly without them. Because these cookies are necessary to provide the website or a feature you request, they may not require optional consent where permitted by law.

Strictly necessary cookies may support:

  • Website security
  • Spam and bot protection
  • Load balancing
  • Session management
  • Form functionality
  • Cookie-consent settings
  • Administrative login functions

FUNCTIONAL COOKIES

Functional cookies help remember choices and provide enhanced website features.

They may support:

  • Display preferences
  • Language or accessibility preferences
  • Previously selected settings
  • Embedded website features
  • Location or map functionality

Disabling these cookies may affect some website features without preventing basic access to the site.

ANALYTICS AND PERFORMANCE COOKIES

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the website.

Information collected may include:

  • Pages viewed
  • Approximate visit duration
  • Links or buttons selected
  • Referring website
  • Browser and device type
  • General geographic region
  • Website errors
  • General traffic and engagement patterns

We use analytics information to improve website structure, performance, content, and usability.

Where required, analytics technologies will not be activated until you provide consent.

ADVERTISING AND TARGETING COOKIES

Advertising technologies may be used to measure campaigns, understand whether an advertisement contributed to a website visit, limit repeated advertisements, or create audiences based on website activity.

Depending on the advertising platforms enabled, these technologies may be provided by companies such as Google, Meta, or TikTok.

Where legally required, advertising and targeting cookies will remain disabled unless you consent.

We do not intentionally permit advertising platforms to receive:

  • Contact-form messages
  • Appointment details
  • Patient records
  • Prescription information
  • Laboratory information
  • Medical histories
  • Information entered in Jane
  • Payment-card details
  • Specific health concerns submitted through a form

Advertising and analytics settings must be configured so that sensitive information and protected health information are not transmitted through pixels, tags, URLs, events, or other tracking technologies.

HHS cautions healthcare organizations that tracking technologies can collect information about how individuals interact with websites and may create obligations under the HIPAA Rules depending on the information, context, and entities involved.

EMBEDDED AND THIRD-PARTY CONTENT

Some pages may contain features operated by third parties, such as:

  • Jane appointment-booking links
  • Google Maps
  • Cherry
  • CareCredit
  • Social-media links or content
  • Video or media players
  • Review platforms

These third parties may place or access their own cookies when you interact with their services.

Wellness Refined does not control all cookies or tracking technologies used by third-party websites. Your use of those services is governed by the third party’s terms and privacy practices.

4. INFORMATION COOKIES MAY COLLECT

Depending on the technology used, cookies and similar tools may collect:

  • Internet Protocol address
  • Browser type and version
  • Device type
  • Operating system
  • Screen or display information
  • Approximate geographic area
  • Referring and exit pages
  • Date and time of access
  • Pages viewed
  • Interactions with buttons or links
  • Cookie or device identifiers
  • Consent selections
  • General website-performance information

This information may be combined with other information where permitted by law and described in our Privacy Policy.

5. HEALTH INFORMATION AND TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES

The public website is intended primarily for general information, service education, scheduling access, and administrative inquiries.

Do not submit sensitive medical information through general website forms.

Existing patients should use the secure communication method provided by Wellness Refined or the Jane patient portal for appropriate clinical matters.

Wellness Refined seeks to limit tracking on pages or features where an individual could communicate sensitive health information. We also seek to prevent advertising and analytics providers from receiving form contents, appointment information, or patient-specific information.

Information maintained as part of patient care is governed by our HIPAA Notice and applicable patient documentation.

6. YOUR COOKIE CHOICES

COOKIE-PREFERENCE TOOL

Where available, you may use the Cookie Preferences link or cookie banner to:

  • Accept optional cookies
  • Reject optional cookies
  • Select individual cookie categories
  • Change a previous selection

Strictly necessary cookies may remain active because they support essential website functions.

Changing your preferences will apply to future activity. It may not automatically delete cookies already stored on your device.

BROWSER SETTINGS

Most browsers allow you to:

  • View stored cookies
  • Delete cookies
  • Block cookies
  • Limit cookies from third parties
  • Receive a warning before a cookie is stored

Blocking all cookies may affect website forms, consent preferences, maps, scheduling links, or other features.

GLOBAL PRIVACY CONTROL

Where legally required and technically supported, Wellness Refined will process recognized universal opt-out signals, such as Global Privacy Control, as a request to opt out of applicable targeted advertising or sale-related processing.

Colorado recognizes Global Privacy Control as an approved universal opt-out mechanism under the Colorado Privacy Act framework.

A universal opt-out signal may apply only to the browser or device from which it is sent. You may need to enable the signal on each browser or device you use.

DO NOT TRACK

Some browsers transmit a traditional “Do Not Track” signal. Because there is not one universally adopted response standard for every type of Do Not Track signal, the website may not respond to all such signals.

We will, however, process legally recognized universal opt-out mechanisms where applicable.

7. TARGETED ADVERTISING AND SALE-RELATED CHOICES

Wellness Refined does not intend to sell personal information in exchange for money.

However, certain disclosures involving advertising cookies or cross-context behavioral advertising may be treated as a “sale,” “sharing,” or targeted advertising under some privacy laws, even when no money is exchanged.

Where applicable, you may opt out through:

  • The website’s Cookie Preferences tool
  • A recognized universal opt-out mechanism
  • A privacy request submitted under our Privacy Policy

Colorado residents may have rights to opt out of the sale of personal data, targeted advertising, and certain forms of profiling under the Colorado Privacy Act, subject to applicable exceptions.

8. COOKIE RETENTION

Cookies may remain on your device for different periods.

Session cookies generally expire when you close your browser.

Persistent cookies may remain until their stated expiration date, until they are replaced, or until you delete them.

Retention periods vary according to the purpose of the cookie and the provider that operates it. We seek to retain cookie-derived information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, unless a longer period is required or permitted by law.

The website’s consent-management tool should display the available cookie names, providers, purposes, and durations where technically available.

9. THIRD-PARTY COOKIE CONTROLS

Third-party platforms may provide their own settings for managing advertising, analytics, or account-related information.

Changing your preferences through Wellness Refined may not automatically change settings associated with:

  • A third-party account
  • Another website
  • Another browser
  • Another device
  • A financing provider
  • Jane
  • A social-media platform

Review the privacy and cookie settings provided directly by the applicable third party.

10. CHILDREN’S PRIVACY

The website is intended primarily for adults and is not directed to children under 13.

We do not knowingly use advertising cookies to collect personal information from children under 13. Please contact us if you believe a child has submitted personal information through the website.

Federal law imposes specific requirements on covered website operators that collect personal information online from children under 13.

11. CHANGES TO THIS COOKIE POLICY

We may update this Cookie Policy when:

  • Website technologies change
  • New service providers are added
  • Tracking practices change
  • Legal requirements change
  • Privacy or security practices are revised

The updated Policy will be posted on this page with a revised “Last Updated” date.

Material changes may also be presented through the cookie banner or another appropriate notice.
