This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which cookies Pawsavvy Guide uses, and how you can manage or disable them. It works together with our Privacy Policy, so please read both if you want the full picture.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device (computer, phone, or tablet) when you visit. They help the site remember information about your visit, such as your preferences or the pages you have seen. Cookies make websites faster and more convenient, and most sites use them in one way or another.
How We Use Cookies
On Pawsavvy Guide, we use cookies for three main purposes:
To keep the site working properly. Some cookies are needed for basic functions such as security and site performance.
To understand our audience. Analytics cookies show us which articles are read most, how visitors find us, and where they spend their time. This helps us create content that is actually useful.
To support the site through affiliate links. When you click a link to a retailer like Chewy or Petco, that retailer may place a cookie on your device so they can recognize the referral if you make a purchase.
Types of Cookies We Use
Essential cookies. These are necessary for the site to function, such as cookies that keep the site secure or remember basic settings. You cannot turn these off through our site, though you can block them in your browser. Blocking essential cookies may stop parts of the site from working correctly.
Analytics cookies. These help us measure traffic and understand reader behavior. The data is aggregated and anonymous, and we do not use it to identify individual visitors.
Advertising and affiliate cookies. These are set by third parties when you interact with affiliate links or ads. They allow retailers to track referrals and show you relevant offers. We do not control these cookies, and they are subject to the retailer’s own cookie and privacy policies.
Managing or Disabling Cookies
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block all cookies, block third-party cookies only, or delete cookies after you close the browser. Here is where to find the settings in common browsers: Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data. Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions. Firefox: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and Site Data. Safari: Preferences > Privacy.
If you disable all cookies, some parts of this website may not work as expected, and we will no longer be able to see anonymous analytics data. That is fine — the choice is yours.
For more general information about cookies, useful resources include aboutcookies.org and the European interactive advertising guidance at youronlinechoices.eu.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page, and we will update the date at the top.
