Storage Categories & Functional Division
We divide browser storage into three strict tiers: essential session state, measured site performance, and ad attribution.

|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | Stores your active privacy choices and maintains persistent message thread tokens while you chat with our local intake coordinators. | Required for core site delivery, security honeypots, and honoring your statutory opt-out choices under state privacy law. | Always Active (Exempt from opt-in consent requirement) |
| Analytics Storage | Aggregates page interaction counts, load durations, and error occurrences so our web developers fix broken links and slow mobile layouts. | Provides technical performance diagnostics without creating permanent individual cross-site tracking profiles. | Denied by default until explicitly allowed by visitor |
| Advertising & Personalization | Measures whether clicks from search advertisements result in inquiry form submissions or live care consultation telephone calls. | Powers conversion attribution for Google Ads, Microsoft Advertising, and Meta Ads campaigns funding our local care outreach. | Denied by default until explicitly allowed by visitor |

Consent Mode v2 Signal Architecture
We strictly implement Google Consent Mode v2 (consent mode) holding ad_storage, ad_user_data, ad_personalization and analytics_storage denied until the visitor allows storage and set back to denied when they decline.
| Consent Mode Signal | Pre-Consent & Declined State | Granted State Trigger | Platform Operational Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| ad_storage | denied | Set to granted when visitor clicks "Allow Storage". | Controls whether advertising cookies can be written or read on the device. |
| ad_user_data | denied | Set to granted when visitor clicks "Allow Storage". | Controls transmission of visitor conversion data to advertising platforms. |
| ad_personalization | denied | Set to granted when visitor clicks "Allow Storage". | Governs personalized remarketing and audience list assembly. |
| analytics_storage | denied | Set to granted when visitor clicks "Allow Storage". | Controls access to measurement storage for page engagement diagnostics. |
Granting, Modifying & Withdrawing Your Choice
You hold complete control over your consent settings and may change or revoke them at any time during your visit.
| Action Mechanism | How You Execute This Choice | Underlying Script Execution | Resulting Session Behavior |
|---|---|---|---|
| Initial Consent Banner | Click "Allow Storage" to enable tags or "Decline Optional" to withhold storage access. | Writes choice to localStorage under site_consent_v2 and fires Consent Mode updates immediately. | Banner dismisses and choice remains valid for 12 months. |
| Footer Reopen Control | Click the "Cookie Preferences" button in the footer of every page on this site. | Re-opens the interactive consent dialog allowing you to reverse your prior decision instantly. | Adjusts live tag state without requiring page reload. |
