What Are Cookies & Local Storage
Cookies are small, secure text files that websites store on your computer, tablet, or smartphone when you visit. They are standard across modern web applications and allow our platform to remember your browsing language, keep the appointment calendar responsive, and recognize you when you return.
Cookies cannot execute malicious code, deliver viruses, or read files stored on your hard drive.
Categories of Cookies We Use
We classify all cookies utilized on redesigndentalclinics.com into four distinct operational tiers:
-
Strictly Necessary Cookies: Fundamental for basic page routing, secure token transmission, and appointment slot reservations. These cannot be switched off in our systems.
-
Functional & Preference Cookies: Retain selected language preferences (English, Telugu, Hindi, Arabic) across browsing sessions so you do not have to reset your choices on each visit.
-
Performance & Diagnostics Cookies: Help us measure load times, high-traffic service pages, and mobile responsiveness anonymously to optimize site speed.
-
Security & Bot Prevention: Google reCAPTCHA v3 tokens that protect our clinical appointment forms from automated spam submissions and DDoS exploits.
