Effective Date: February 3, 2026 | Last Updated: February 3, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which cookies we use on the Doctors of Cannabis website, and how you can control them. Because we handle sensitive medical and personal information, we want to be transparent about every piece of technology that runs on our site.
What Are Cookies?
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your device (computer, phone, or tablet) when you visit. Cookies help websites remember your preferences, recognize returning visitors, and work more efficiently. They cannot execute programs, access files on your device, or read your personal data beyond what the site has stored in them.
The Cookies We Use
We use two types of cookies on our site, and each serves a specific purpose:
1. Essential Cookies
These cookies are required for our website to function properly. Without them, core features like page navigation and secure login will not work. We cannot disable these cookies because they are necessary for the site to operate.
| Cookie Type | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Session Cookie | Keeps you logged into your patient portal during an active session |
| Security Cookie | Supports identity verification and protects your account |
| Preference Cookie | Remembers your settings like selected state or language |
2. Analytics & Marketing Cookies (HubSpot)
We use HubSpot to help us understand how visitors interact with our site and to support our marketing efforts. HubSpot places cookies that track general usage data such as pages visited, time spent on pages, and referral sources. These cookies help us improve the experience on our site and reach people who may benefit from our services.
| Cookie Name | What It Does |
|---|---|
| hubspotutk | Tracks unique visitors for analytics. This cookie does not contain any personal health information. |
| __hstc | Tracks anonymous visitor activity across sessions for marketing purposes. |
| __hssc | Tracks session activity to determine which pages you visit during a single visit. |
| __hssf | Identifies whether HubSpot has already been loaded on the page to avoid duplicate tracking. |
What We Do NOT Do With Cookies
- We do not use cookies to collect your medical information.
- We do not sell cookie data to data brokers or third-party marketers.
- We do not use cookies to build profiles for unrelated advertising.
- We do not allow third-party tracking beyond HubSpot for analytics and marketing.
How to Control Cookies
You have full control over cookies on your device. Here is how:
Through Your Browser
Most web browsers let you view, delete, or block cookies directly. You can usually find these settings under Privacy or Security in your browser menu. Keep in mind that blocking certain cookies may affect how parts of our site work.
Through HubSpot
If you want to opt out of HubSpot's analytics and marketing cookies specifically, you can visit HubSpot's opt-out page or contact us at legal@docsofcannabis.com and we will ensure their cookies are not applied to your visits.
Changes to This Policy
If we change the types of cookies we use or how we use them, we will update this Cookie Policy and post a new effective date. We encourage you to check this page periodically.
