Last updated: December 18, 2025
This Cookie Policy explains how Pain Clinics (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Pain Clinics) are called “first-party cookies.” Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called “third-party cookies.” Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., analytics, interactive content, and advertising).
How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our website to operate, and we refer to these as “essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies. Other cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our website. Third parties serve cookies through our website for analytics and other purposes.
Types of Cookies We Use
The specific types of cookies served through our website include:

Analytics and Performance Cookies
These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our website. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

Targeting and Advertising Cookies
These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites.

Do Not Track
Some browsers include a “Do Not Track” (DNT) feature that signals to websites you visit that you do not want to be tracked. Our website does not currently respond to DNT signals because there is no industry standard for compliance. We will continue to monitor developments in this area.
