Hi.

A short page about cookies. The kind on websites, not the kind in jars.

Read on if you want to know what's collected, why, and how to change your mind.

This Cookie Policy explains how Heather Hickson, doing business as Elevate Health + Wellness LLC ("we," "us," or "our"), uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on www.heatherhickson.com (the "Site"). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your computer or mobile device to help the site function, remember your preferences, and collect information about your visit. Some cookies last only for the duration of your visit ("session cookies"); others remain until they expire or you delete them ("persistent cookies").

We also use similar tracking technologies, including pixels, web beacons, and local storage, which work in similar ways. For purposes of this policy, "cookies" refers to all such technologies.

b. Functional Cookies. These remember your preferences (such as language, region, or login status) to improve your experience.

c. Analytics Cookies. These help us understand how visitors use the Site, which pages are popular, and where to improve. We use providers such as Google Analytics for this purpose.

d. Marketing and Advertising Cookies. These (if enabled with your consent) help us deliver relevant content and measure effectiveness. We may use providers such as Meta and Google Ads.
