Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Pet Insurance Guide (‘we’, ‘us’, ‘our’) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website at https://petinsurance.foorblog.com/. It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and your legal rights to control our use of them.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work efficiently, enhance user experience, and provide reporting and telemetry information.

Cookies set by the website owner (Pet Insurance Guide) 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 (such as advertising, interactive content, and analytics).

2. Types of Cookies We Use

We use first-party and third-party cookies for several purposes:

• Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our Website and to use some of its features, such as accessing secure areas or navigating pages. Because these cookies are strictly necessary, you cannot decline them without impacting website operation.
• Performance & Analytics Cookies: These cookies collect information that is used either in aggregate form to help us understand how our Website is being used (e.g., Google Analytics 4) or how effective our educational guides are, and to help us customize our Website for you.
• Advertising & Targeting Cookies: These cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you. They prevent the same ad from continuously reappearing, ensure ads are properly displayed for advertisers, and in some cases select advertisements that are based on your interests. Our primary advertising partner is Google AdSense (utilizing the DoubleClick DART cookie).
• Affiliate Tracking Cookies: When you click an external link to view a pet insurance quote from a provider (such as Trupanion, Embrace, or Pets Best), a temporary tracking cookie is set by the affiliate network to verify that the referral originated from Pet Insurance Guide. These cookies do not store personally identifiable data.

3. Google AdSense & Third-Party Vendors

Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on Pet Insurance Guide. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our sites and/or other sites on the Internet.

Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page at www.networkadvertising.org.

4. How You Can Control Cookies

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie rights by setting your preferences in your web browser:

• Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data
• Mozilla Firefox: Options > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
• Apple Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Cookies and website data
