Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how gxspine.com uses cookies, local storage values, and related technologies when you access and browse the website. It describes what categories of storage we use, why we use them, how long data may remain on your device, and how you can control these settings through our banner and browser tools.
What Cookies and Local Storage Are
Cookies are small text files saved by your browser when you visit a website. Local storage is a browser feature that can store small key-value items on your device. Both mechanisms can be used to remember settings, maintain consistent behavior across page loads, and improve user experience. They do not automatically include direct identity information unless combined with other data sources.
Why We Use Them
We use storage technologies to support site functionality, reduce repetitive prompts, and understand aggregate interaction patterns that help us improve page quality. We also use limited technical markers to maintain safer and more reliable site operation, including abuse detection and performance diagnostics.
Cookie and Storage Categories
- Strictly necessary items used to preserve essential page behavior, such as age-gate flow consistency and baseline session handling.
- Preference items that remember consent choices, including whether cookie prompts were accepted or rejected.
- Measurement or analytics-oriented items used to evaluate page performance and engagement at an aggregated level.
- Operational items used for diagnostics, error analysis, and service hardening against suspicious automation patterns.
Examples Relevant to This Website
On gxspine.com, browser storage may hold values indicating that age verification was completed during the current session and whether cookie consent was accepted or rejected. These values help avoid repeated prompts and ensure consistent display behavior. Additional technical values may be used to stabilize user experience across page transitions and maintain predictable navigation behavior.
Duration and Expiration
Some storage values exist only for the active browser session and are removed when the session ends. Others can remain for longer periods depending on their purpose and your browser configuration. Duration may vary based on whether the value is required for essential behavior, preference memory, or aggregate measurement. You can delete stored items at any time through browser settings.
Third-Party Technologies
When you click an outbound offer and move to a third-party operator website, that operator may place its own cookies or similar technologies on your device. We do not control third-party cookie implementation, retention periods, or usage logic. You should review each destination operator’s own cookie and privacy policies before interacting with its platform.
Managing Consent on Our Website
Our cookie banner provides options to accept or reject non-essential processing categories where applicable. Your selection is stored so the banner behavior remains consistent. You can change your browser configuration later to remove stored values or block cookie placement. If you disable all storage mechanisms, some site behavior may degrade, including repeated prompts and reduced interface continuity.
Browser Controls
Most modern browsers let you manage cookies and local storage through privacy settings. You can usually view stored items, delete specific entries, clear all site data, block third-party cookies, or block all cookies entirely. The exact procedure varies by browser vendor and version. If needed, consult your browser’s official support documentation for current instructions.
Do Not Track and Similar Signals
Some browsers support Do Not Track signals or similar preference headers. Because there is no universally adopted technical standard for interpreting these signals across all contexts, website responses can differ. We continue to evaluate practical methods to honor user privacy preferences while preserving functional stability.
Updates to This Cookie Policy
We may update this policy when legal requirements change, when site behavior evolves, or when storage mechanisms are modified. The current version becomes effective upon publication on this page. You should review this policy periodically to stay informed about current cookie and storage practices.
