COOKIES POLICY

We use cookies to help improve your experience of https://lostandfound-pets.com. This cookie policy is part of Lost & Found Pets’ privacy policy and covers the use of cookies between your device and our website. We also provide basic information on third-party services we may use, which may also use cookies as part of their service, though they are not covered by our policy.

What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small piece of data stored on your device by a website when you visit. It typically contains information about the website itself, a unique identifier that allows the site to recognise your web browser on your return, additional data serving the purpose of the cookie, and the cookie’s lifespan.
Cookies are used to enable certain features (e.g., logging in), to track site usage (e.g., analytics), to store your user settings (e.g., timezone, notification preferences), and to personalise your content (e.g., advertising, language).
Cookies set by the website you are visiting are usually called “first-party cookies” and generally only monitor your activity on that specific site. Cookies placed by other sites and companies (i.e., third parties) are known as “third-party cookies” and can be used to track you across different websites that utilise the same third-party service.

Types of cookies and their uses

Essential cookies

Essential cookies are vital for your website experience, supporting essential functions such as user logins, account management, shopping carts, and payment processing. We use essential cookies to facilitate certain features on our website.

Performance cookies

Performance cookies track how you use a website during your visit without collecting personal details about you. Usually, this data is anonymous and combined with information from all users to help companies understand visitor behaviour, identify and troubleshoot issues users may face, and make better strategic choices to enhance the overall website experience. These cookies can be set by the website you’re visiting (first-party) or by third-party services. We use performance cookies on our site.

Functionality cookies

Functionality cookies are used to gather information about your device and any settings you may configure on the website you are visiting, such as language and time zone. Using this information, websites can offer you personalised, enhanced, or optimised content and services. These cookies might be set by the website you are visiting (first-party) or by third-party services. We utilise functionality cookies for certain features on our site.

Targeting and advertising cookies

Targeting and advertising cookies are used to determine which promotional content is more relevant and suited to you and your interests. Websites may use them to deliver targeted advertising or to limit how often you see a particular advert. This helps companies improve the effectiveness of their campaigns and enhance the quality of content shown to you. These cookies may be set by the website you are visiting (first-party) or by third-party services. Cookies set by third parties might be used to track you across other websites that use the same third-party service. We do not use this type of cookie on our site.

Third-party cookies on our website

We might use third-party companies and individuals on our websites—for instance, analytics providers and content partners. We give these third parties access to certain information to carry out specific tasks for us. They may also set third-party cookies to deliver the services they provide. These cookies can be used to track your activity on other websites that also use the same third-party service. Since we have no control over third-party cookies, they are not covered by the Lost & Found Pets cookie policy.

How to control or opt out of cookies

If you do not wish to accept cookies from us, you can configure your browser to block cookies from our website. Most browsers are set to accept cookies by default, but you can change these settings to either block cookies entirely or to alert you when a website is trying to set or update a cookie.
If you browse websites on several devices, you might need to update your settings on each one.
Although some cookies can be blocked with little effect on your website experience, blocking all cookies might prevent you from accessing certain features and content on the sites you visit.
