Cookie Policy
Last Updated: October 6, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies on our website.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences and improve your experience.
Cookies typically contain:
- A unique identifier
- The website domain
- Expiration date
- Some data relevant to the website
2. Types of Cookies We Use
2.1 Essential Cookies (Required)
These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be disabled.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| This site sets no essential cookies. | ||
We do store your cookie choice itself, so the banner stops asking. It is kept in your browser's local storage as cookie-consent and cookie-consent-date, never sent to us, and cleared whenever you clear your browsing data.
2.2 Functional Cookies (Optional)
These cookies enhance functionality and personalization but are not essential.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| This site sets no functional cookies. Your cookie choice is kept in local storage, as described above, not in a cookie. | ||
2.3 Analytics Cookies (Optional)
These cookies help us understand how visitors use our website so we can improve it.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
_ga | Google Analytics - distinguishes users | 2 years |
_ga_* | Google Analytics - stores session state | 2 years |
Note: Analytics cookies are only set if analytics is set up on this site and you allow it in our cookie consent banner. If your browser sends "Do Not Track", they are not set even if you accept.
3. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are set by third-party services we use:
3.1 Google Analytics
This site can load Google Analytics to understand how visitors use it, but only if analytics is set up on the site and you allow it in the cookie banner. Google may use this data for its own purposes. Learn more about Google's privacy policy.
3.3 Cloudflare Turnstile
We use Cloudflare Turnstile for CAPTCHA verification on our booking form. Cloudflare may set cookies for bot detection. See Cloudflare's privacy policy.
4. Cookie Duration
Cookies are described by how long they last:
4.1 Session Cookies
Temporary cookies that are deleted when you close your browser. This site sets none of its own — it previously used them to keep you signed in, and there is no longer anything to sign in to.
4.2 Persistent Cookies
Remain on your device for a set period. This site sets none of its own; the Google Analytics cookies in the table above, if you allow analytics, are the only persistent ones it can cause to be set.
5. Managing Cookies
5.1 Cookie Consent Banner
When you first visit our site, you'll see a cookie consent banner. You can choose to:
- Accept all: Allows analytics and the other optional categories
- Necessary only: Keeps analytics and every other optional category off
- Customize: Opens the categories (Analytics, Marketing and Preferences; Necessary is always on) so you can pick, then press "Save preferences"
5.2 Browser Settings
You can control cookies through your browser settings:
- Chrome: Manage cookies in Chrome
- Firefox: Manage cookies in Firefox
- Safari: Manage cookies in Safari
- Edge: Manage cookies in Edge
5.3 Opt-Out Links
You can opt out of analytics cookies:
Warning: Blocking all cookies may stop the anti-spam check on our booking form from loading, which would prevent you from submitting it. If that happens, please call us instead.
6. Do Not Track (DNT)
Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals websites not to track you. If your browser sends a DNT signal, analytics cookies are not set, even if you accept them in the banner.
7. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. We will notify you of significant changes by:
- Updating the "Last Updated" date
8. Contact Us
If you have questions about our use of cookies, please contact us:
- Email: shesmydoglady@gmail.com
