We use cookies and similar technologies to help Doggo Appreciation run smoothly, understand which guides our readers love most, and personalize your experience. This page explains what cookies are, which types we use, and how you can manage your choices.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. They remember information about your visit, such as items in your cart or preferences, and can help websites work more reliably and securely.

Types of cookies we use

  • Strictly necessary – Required for the site to function (e.g., page navigation, secure checkout). These cannot be switched off.
  • Performance & analytics – Help us understand site usage and improve content (aggregated statistics, error tracking). We use these only with consent in regions where required.
  • Functionality – Remember choices such as language and region to provide a more personal experience.
  • Advertising & marketing – Used to measure campaigns and show relevant content. These are optional and only run if you consent.

How to manage your preferences

You are in control. You can update your choices at any time:

  • Cookie Preferences: Use the Manage preferences link in our cookie banner or the data sharing opt-out page.
  • Browser controls: Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. Doing so may affect how our site works.

Third-party cookies

Some cookies are set by third parties that provide services to us (for example, analytics). These providers have their own privacy and cookie policies. We only use third-party cookies after you have given consent where required by law.

Data retention

Cookie lifetimes vary. Session cookies last until you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain for a set period and then expire automatically. We review our vendors and retention periods regularly.

Changes to this policy

We may update this page as our site evolves or as laws change. We will revise the Last updated date above and publish the new version here.
