Pawmize Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website or use certain web-based services. They are widely used to make websites and applications work efficiently, remember preferences, maintain sessions, and provide information to website operators.

This policy also covers similar technologies, including pixels, tags, local storage, and session technologies, that may function alongside cookies on our website and web-based member application.

2. How We Use Cookies

Pawmize uses cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:

• Essential cookies: Required for our website and web-based member application to function correctly, including security, authentication, session management, and other core functionality.
• Functional cookies: Remember preferences and choices, such as cookie-consent settings and application sessions.
• Analytics cookies: Help us understand how visitors interact with our website and improve performance and user experience.
• Advertising and measurement technologies: Help us measure conversions and the effectiveness of advertising campaigns, including campaigns on Facebook and Instagram. We do not use advertising data to target individuals based on sensitive personal characteristics.
• Payment cookies: May be set by our payment processor, Stripe, to support secure subscription billing and fraud prevention.

Some technologies may be provided by third parties and may involve the collection or processing of information in accordance with those providers’ own privacy practices.

3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies We Use

4. Third-Party Providers

Some cookies and tracking technologies are operated by third-party providers, including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Meta, Stripe, and Shopify. Those providers may process information under their own privacy policies and terms.

We do not control third-party technologies or their independent data practices. You should review the applicable provider’s privacy information for additional details.

5. Backend and Application Service Providers

Our website and custom-coded member application may also rely on service providers that process information to operate Pawmize but do not necessarily set cookies in your browser.

These may include communications, database, hosting, infrastructure, automation, payment, security, and other technology providers. Additional information about how Pawmize collects, uses, and shares personal information is available in our Privacy Policy.

6. Your Cookie Choices

You can manage cookies and similar technologies through your browser settings. Blocking or deleting certain cookies may affect website or application functionality.

Where required, we will provide appropriate choices regarding nonessential cookies and similar technologies. Where a cookie-consent or privacy-preferences control is available on our website, you may use it to manage applicable preferences.

You may also use privacy and advertising controls made available by Google, Meta, and other providers.

7. Cookie Retention

Cookies and similar technologies are retained for different periods depending on their purpose, provider, and configuration. Some are session-based and expire when you close your browser, while others may remain for a longer period to remember preferences, support analytics, prevent fraud, or measure advertising performance.

Because third-party providers may change cookie names, configurations, and retention periods, their current privacy and cookie documentation may provide additional information about their technologies.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our technologies, practices, service providers, or applicable legal requirements.

When we make changes, we will update the Effective Date at the top of this Cookie Policy and provide any additional notice required by applicable law.
