This Cookie Policy explains how Dogelio Pets ("we," "our," or "us") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website, https://dogeliopets.com. It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control our use of them.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information. Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Dogelio Pets) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics).
2. Other Tracking Technologies
In addition to cookies, we may use local storage (LocalStorage and SessionStorage) on your browser. These technologies function similarly to cookies by storing small amounts of data on your device to remember your settings (such as light/dark mode preference) or to cache content for faster page loads. They are processed entirely locally in your browser and do not transmit data to our servers unless specifically required to complete a request.
3. Categories of Cookies We Use
We classify the cookies and local storage keys used on our Website into the following categories:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential for the core functioning of the Website, enabling security, user login state, and basic navigation. Without these cookies, services you have asked for (such as account access) cannot be provided.
- Preference and Functional Cookies: These are used to remember choices you make (such as your language preference or dark/light theme) to provide a more personalized experience. They do not track your browsing activity on other sites.
- Analytics Cookies: These cookies collect anonymous, aggregated information about how visitors use our Website. This helps us understand which pages are visited most, monitor site speed, and resolve technical errors.
- Advertising Cookies: These cookies are used to deliver advertisements relevant to you, measure ad performance, and limit the number of times you see the same ad. Currently, Google AdSense is disabled, so no third-party advertising cookies are set.

5. How to Control and Manage Cookies
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can manage your preferences through the following channels:
- Cookie Consent Banner: When you first visit the Website, you are presented with our consent banner. You can click "Accept All" to enable all cookies, "Reject" to block non-essential analytics cookies, or "Preferences" to choose which categories to enable.
- Cookie Preferences Modal: You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by clicking the "Preferences" button on the banner or in the footer menu to toggle optional analytics.
- Browser Controls: Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can configure your browser to reject all cookies, alert you when a cookie is placed, or delete existing cookies. Visit your browser's "Help" or "Settings" menu to learn more.
Please note that if you choose to reject or disable strictly necessary cookies, some features of the Website (such as logging in or submitting forms) may not function correctly.
6. Global Privacy Control (GPC)
We recognize Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals sent by compatible browsers or extensions. If our system detects a GPC signal, we will treat it as a request to opt-out of non-essential tracking, and we will not load analytics cookies during your visit, even if the consent banner has not been interacted with.
7. Policy Updates
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We encourage you to re-visit this page regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
