Our use of cookies and web beacons
Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information which is downloaded to your hard disk or to your browser’s memory when you visit our site. Cookies are useful because they help arrange the content and layout of our site and allow us to recognize those computers or other devices that have been to our sites before. Cookies do many different jobs, such as allowing our websites to remember your preference settings and helping us to enhance the usability and performance of our sites and your experience using them.
Our site also may contain electronic images known as web beacons – sometimes called single-pixel gifs – that allow us to count the number of users who have visited specific pages. We may include web beacons in promotional e-mail messages or newsletters in order to determine whether messages have been opened and acted upon.
Setting your cookie preference
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most internet browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser settings to decline cookies or to notify you when a cookie is being placed on your computer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the features of Houston Robotic Hernia Surgery’s sites or other websites that you visit.
Our use of web analytics
Houston Robotic Hernia Surgery uses industry standard web analytics to track visits to our sites. These analytics are provided by Google Analytics. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of our sites, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google.
You may opt out of web analytics by installing these tools on your computer.
Do-Not-Track Signals and Similar Mechanisms
Some web browsers may transmit “do-not-track” signals to the sites with which the user communicates. Because of differences in how web browsers incorporate and activate this feature, it is not always clear whether users intend for these signals to be transmitted, or whether they even are aware of them. There currently is disagreement, including among participants in the leading internet standards-setting organization, concerning what, if anything, websites should do when they receive such signals.
Houston Robotic Hernia Surgery currently does not take action in response to these signals. If and when a final standard is established and accepted, Houston Robotic Hernia Surgery will reassess how to respond to these signals.
Security
We take precautions to protect your information. When you submit information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline.

Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or data storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure, please immediately notify us of the problem by contacting us.
Wherever we collect information , that information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a closed lock icon in your browser’s web address bar, or looking for “https” at the beginning of the address of the web page.
While we use encryption to protect information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline.
