Last updated: April 2026

1. Introduction

ONHealth Alliance, Inc. (“ONRx”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website (onhealthalliance.com) and web application (my.onrx.ca). This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, your choices regarding cookies, and how this relates to our Privacy Policy.

In compliance with Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), we obtain your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function properly, improve user experience, and provide information to website operators. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixel tags.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

3.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential)

These cookies are required for the website and application to function properly. They cannot be disabled. They do not collect personal information used for marketing.

3.2 Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. Analytics cookies are only placed after you provide explicit consent through our cookie consent banner.

Google Analytics collects data such as pages visited, session duration, traffic sources, device type, and approximate geographic location (city level). IP addresses are anonymized by Google Analytics 4 by default. We do not merge analytics data with your Personal Health Information. For more information, see Google’s Privacy Policy.

3.3 Functional Cookies

These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization, such as remembering your preferences (e.g., language or region). They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we use on our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, some services may not function optimally.

4. Your Cookie Choices

You have the following options for managing cookies:

Cookie Consent Banner

When you first visit our website, a cookie consent banner is displayed. You may choose to:

  • Accept All — Enables all cookies, including analytics
  • Decline All — Only essential cookies are used; no analytics tracking is activated

Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically:

  • View which cookies are stored and delete them individually or all at once
  • Block third-party cookies
  • Block all cookies (note: this may affect website functionality)
  • Clear cookies when you close the browser

Google Analytics Opt-Out

In addition to declining cookies through our banner, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on to prevent Google Analytics from collecting data across all websites.

Changing Your Consent

To change your cookie preferences after your initial choice, clear your browser’s local storage and cookies for our website, then revisit the site. The consent banner will reappear, allowing you to make a new selection.

5. What Happens If You Decline Cookies?

If you decline non-essential cookies:

  • Google Analytics will not be loaded, and no analytics cookies will be placed on your device
  • The website will continue to function normally for browsing and accessing information
  • Essential cookies required for security and basic functionality will still be used
  • We will not collect any usage data about your browsing session

Your ability to use the patient portal (my.onrx.ca) and its clinical features is not affected by declining analytics cookies.

6. “Do Not Track” Signals

Some browsers send a “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal. There is currently no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. We honour our cookie consent mechanism as the primary means of managing your tracking preferences rather than relying on DNT signals.

7. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, our practices, or legal requirements. The latest version will always be posted on this page with the updated “Last updated” date. If we make material changes, we will notify you by displaying a new cookie consent banner.
