Cookie Policy

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files a website can store on your device when you visit. Similar technologies include localStorage, sessionStorage, pixel tags, and service workers. In this policy "cookies" is used as shorthand for all of these.

2. How cookies are used on this site

The website groups cookies into four categories. No first-party analytics or marketing cookie is set by this site, and none would be added without a consent banner. The Google Maps embed sits outside that promise: it is a third-party functional embed that loads with the page, and it is disclosed here rather than gated behind a banner.

3. Cookies currently set

Strictly necessary

No first-party cookies are currently set by drchangfushi.com. The site runs as static HTML, CSS, and JavaScript without session identifiers, login state, or persistent preferences.

Analytics

No analytics cookies are currently set. If an analytics tool is introduced (for example, a privacy-respecting analytics service with Google Consent Mode v2 support), this section will list the specific cookies, their retention periods, and their purposes, and a consent banner will be added before any cookie is loaded.

Marketing

No marketing or advertising cookies are set. If advertising measurement is introduced in future, it will be gated behind explicit consent and documented here.

4. Third-party services that may process data

Some services load resources for the site without necessarily setting cookies on the serving domain:

• Google Fonts delivers the typefaces (Libre Caslon Text, Source Serif 4, and Marcellus SC) used on the site. Google Fonts does not set cookies on the serving domain; it does log the visitor IP address to deliver the requested font.
• The website hosting provider maintains standard server logs, including IP addresses, for the purpose of running the site reliably and investigating abuse. These are not cookies.
• Google Maps provides the location map in the Visit section of the home page. The map loads as part of the page, so visiting that page sends a request to Google, which receives your IP address and may set cookies on your device under the google.com domain. These are set by Google, not by drchangfushi.com, and this site has no access to them or control over their contents. The embed is marked to load only as it nears the viewport, so a visitor who never scrolls to the Visit section generally does not trigger the request. To avoid it entirely, block third-party cookies for google.com in your browser, as described in section 5.

5. How to manage cookies

• Use your browser's privacy settings to block cookies by default or to delete them after a session. Modern browsers also provide a "Do Not Track" signal or equivalent.
• When non-essential cookies are introduced, a consent banner will allow you to accept, reject, or customise categories, and to reopen your choice at any time.
• Clearing cookies for drchangfushi.com in your browser will cause any consent banner to reappear on your next visit.

6. Google Consent Mode v2

When analytics or marketing tags are introduced, the consent banner will implement Google Consent Mode v2. If you deny analytics and marketing consent, a signal will instruct any Google tag on the page to operate in a cookie-less measurement mode, and no pixels will be fired for cross-site advertising platforms.

7. Changes to this policy

This Cookie Policy will be updated whenever the cookies or similar technologies used by the site change, and whenever the law requires. The "Last updated" date at the top will reflect the most recent revision.
