Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Non Emergency Medical Ride LLC uses cookies and similar browser technologies on our website, what different cookie categories mean, how third-party tools may operate when enabled, and how visitors can manage privacy choices. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
Necessary Cookies
Support core functions such as security, sessions and privacy choices.
Analytics
May measure website usage if an analytics service is enabled.
Your Choices
Browser settings and privacy controls can limit or delete cookies.
Privacy Signals
Applicable opt-out preference signals should be handled when required.
Small Browser Files That Can Support Website Functions and Remember Information
A cookie is a small piece of data that a website or another online service may ask your browser to store. When you return to a website, a cookie can help the site recognize the browser, remember a preference, maintain a session or understand how the website is being used.
Similar technologies can include local storage, pixels, tags, scripts, software development tools and other mechanisms that store or access information on a device. For simplicity, this policy uses the word cookies to describe cookies and comparable browser technologies where appropriate.
Session vs. persistent cookies
- Session cookies generally remain only for the current browser session and may disappear after the browser is closed.
- Persistent cookies can remain for a stated period or until they are deleted, depending on the cookie and browser.
First-party vs. third-party cookies
- First-party cookies are generally set by the website domain you are visiting.
- Third-party cookies may be set by another provider whose technology is used or embedded on the website.
Cookie Categories Depend on Their Purpose
Strictly Necessary
Used for website security, basic WordPress operation, sessions, fraud prevention, privacy-choice storage or other functions necessary to provide the site.
Functional
May remember choices or enable optional website functionality such as preferences, embedded tools or enhanced user-interface features.
Analytics / Performance
May help us understand visits, page use, errors, navigation patterns or website performance if an analytics service is actually enabled.
Advertising / Cross-Site Tracking
May be used by advertising or social-media technologies to measure campaigns, create audiences or track activity across services if such technology is installed.
Cookies Commonly Associated With the Current WordPress Setup
The table below is designed as a practical inventory framework. WordPress cookie names can vary by visitor state, plugin, login status and configuration. Optional provider rows apply only when the referenced technology is enabled on the live site.
| Cookie / Technology | Provider | Category | Purpose | Typical Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| wordpress_test_cookie | WordPress / first party | Necessary | May be used by WordPress to determine whether the browser accepts cookies. | Usually session-based |
| wordpress_logged_in_* | WordPress / first party | Necessary | Relevant primarily to authenticated WordPress users and administrators; helps maintain login state. | Depends on login settings |
| wp-settings-* / wp-settings-time-* | WordPress / first party | Functional | May store WordPress user-interface preferences for logged-in users. | Configuration-dependent |
| Cookie-consent preference | Consent tool / first party | Necessary | If a consent manager is installed, it may remember whether optional categories were accepted or rejected. | Depends on consent-tool configuration |
|
_ga / _ga_*
only if Google Analytics is enabled |
Google Analytics | Analytics | May distinguish browsers and measure website use when Google Analytics is actually installed and permitted to run. | Provider / configuration dependent |
|
Embedded map / media storage
only if embedded services are enabled |
Third-party provider | Functional / Other | An embedded map, video or external feature may set its own cookies or device storage. | Controlled by provider |
|
Advertising / social tracking cookies
only if pixels or advertising tags are enabled |
Advertising / social provider | Advertising | May measure campaigns, create audiences or recognize a browser across services. | Controlled by provider / configuration |
External Services Can Set Their Own Cookies When They Are Installed or Embedded
Our website may use or link to third-party services. A normal external link does not necessarily mean that the third party can set cookies before you visit it. Embedded content, scripts, analytics tags, advertising pixels or other integrations may operate differently.
Analytics services
If an analytics provider is enabled, that provider may use cookies or similar identifiers to measure website usage. The provider and technologies actually enabled should be identified in the live cookie inventory and consent setup.
Maps and embedded media
If a map, video, scheduling widget or another third-party feature is embedded directly in the page, the provider may receive technical information and may set or read cookies according to its own practices.
Social-media links
Our website may link to official social profiles. A simple outbound link generally behaves differently from an embedded social-media widget or tracking pixel. If a social embed or pixel is later installed, this policy and cookie settings should be updated accordingly.
Advertising technologies
If advertising or remarketing technology is enabled in the future, it may involve cookies, pixels or other identifiers. Any such implementation should be reflected in the live cookie inventory, privacy disclosures and privacy-choice mechanism before or when it is deployed.
Your Available Choices Depend on the Technology and Applicable Requirements
Strictly necessary technologies may be required for core website functionality and generally cannot be disabled through a cookie-preference interface without affecting the site.
Where optional cookies are subject to consent or privacy-choice controls, the website should provide an appropriate mechanism to accept, reject or manage the supported categories.
Consent Manager
If a cookie banner or privacy-choice tool is installed, use it to manage optional categories supported by that tool.
Browser Controls
Most browsers allow visitors to block, delete or restrict cookies through browser privacy settings.
Opt-Out Signals
Where legally applicable, recognized opt-out preference signals should be processed by the live privacy system.
Browser Settings Can Block, Delete or Limit Cookies
Modern browsers generally provide controls for deleting existing cookies, blocking new cookies, restricting third-party cookies or clearing site data.
Browser instructions vary by browser and device, so consult the privacy or cookie settings provided by your browser.
Clearing cookies
Clearing cookies can remove saved website preferences. If a consent or privacy-choice tool stores your selection in a cookie, deleting that cookie may cause the website to ask for your choice again.
Privacy Signals Are Not All the Same
Global Privacy Control and similar opt-out preference signals
Global Privacy Control (GPC) is designed to communicate an opt-out preference from a browser or extension. Where a business is legally required to process a qualifying opt-out preference signal for the sale or sharing of personal information, its website privacy implementation should honor that signal as required.
Do Not Track
Some browsers transmit a separate “Do Not Track” or DNT signal. There is no single universal DNT behavior adopted by every website and third-party service. DNT should therefore not be confused with a legally recognized opt-out preference signal such as GPC where applicable.
Cookies and Similar Technologies Can Involve Personal Information
Certain cookie identifiers, online activity, IP-address information and similar digital identifiers can be treated as personal information under privacy laws depending on how they are used and which law applies.
California law provides qualifying consumers with privacy rights where the law applies to the business and processing. Those rights can include rights relating to knowledge, deletion, correction and opting out of certain sale or sharing of personal information.
Review our Privacy Policy for our broader privacy disclosures and instructions.
Transportation Form Data Is Different From Ordinary Cookie Data
Ride-request forms may ask for information such as passenger or contact name, phone number, email, patient weight, pickup location, healthcare destination, transportation needed, trip type, requested date and time, additional passenger details and trip notes.
Our policy is not to intentionally place the contents of those ride-request fields into advertising cookies. Information submitted in forms is handled according to the Privacy Policy and the systems used to process the request.
Website analytics, if enabled, should be configured so that unnecessary sensitive transportation-form details are not intentionally sent to analytics or advertising providers.
How Long Cookies Remain Depends on the Cookie and Provider
Session cookies may be deleted when the browsing session ends. Persistent cookies can remain until their configured expiration date or until they are deleted by the user, browser, website or provider.
Third-party providers may control the duration of their own cookies. Actual retention periods should be verified during the live cookie scan and reflected in the inventory where relevant.
We May Update the Cookie Policy as the Website Changes
Website plugins, analytics systems, maps, embedded media, consent tools and other technologies can change over time. We may update this policy when our website or relevant privacy requirements change.
The “Last updated” date at the top of this page identifies the current posted version.
This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service .

Cookie Policy FAQs
Direct answers about website cookies, analytics, privacy choices, Global Privacy Control, ride-request information and the Los Angeles County Non Emergency Medical Ride website.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small piece of information a website asks a browser to store. Cookies can help a website remember settings, support security and sessions, understand site usage, or enable third-party features depending on which technologies are installed.
Does Non Emergency Medical Ride use cookies?
Our WordPress website may use strictly necessary cookies and similar storage for core website functions. Other categories such as analytics, embedded-content or advertising technologies are used only if they are actually enabled on the live site. This policy should be kept consistent with the results of a current cookie and tracker scan.
Can I refuse non-essential cookies?
Where a consent or privacy-choice tool is presented, you can use it to control optional categories supported by that tool. You can also adjust browser settings to block or delete cookies, although doing so may affect some website functions.
Do you use cookies to store my medical ride request details?
Our policy is not to intentionally place the contents of ride-request fields, such as patient weight, pickup location or healthcare destination, into advertising cookies. Transportation form information is handled separately under our Privacy Policy.
What are strictly necessary cookies?
Strictly necessary cookies support basic website functions such as security, session handling, remembering privacy choices or WordPress functionality. Blocking them can cause portions of a website to stop working correctly.
What if Google Analytics or another analytics tool is installed?
If an analytics service is enabled, it may use cookies or similar technologies to measure visits and website usage. The live cookie inventory and consent configuration should identify the provider, purpose and retention period actually in use.
Does Global Privacy Control affect cookies?
Global Privacy Control is an opt-out preference signal. Where California law requires a covered business to honor such a signal for sale or sharing of personal information, the site’s privacy-choice implementation should process it accordingly.
What does Do Not Track mean on this website?
Browser Do Not Track signals are different from legally recognized opt-out preference signals such as Global Privacy Control. Because browsers and services do not use a single universal Do Not Track standard, the effect of a DNT signal can vary.
How can I ask a question about cookies or online tracking?
Email info@nonemergencymedicalride.com, call 909-301-4850, or contact Non Emergency Medical Ride through WhatsApp at the same business number.
Does this policy apply to the Los Angeles County website operation?
Yes. Non Emergency Medical Ride LLC is registered and headquartered in Montana and operates a California base serving Los Angeles County. This Cookie Policy applies to the website used in connection with that operation.
Privacy Question — or Ready to Request a Medical Ride?
