1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to site owners about how their site is being used.

Cookies can be "session cookies" (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them).

2. How We Use Cookies

PawPerfect uses cookies for the following purposes:

•Essential cookies — required for the website to function. These include session management, shopping cart persistence, and security tokens. You cannot opt out of these.

•Preference cookies — remember your settings such as dark/light mode and language preferences, so you don't have to re-select them each visit.

•Analytics cookies — help us understand how visitors interact with our site (pages visited, time spent, errors encountered). This data is aggregated and anonymous.

•Marketing cookies — used to deliver relevant advertisements and track the effectiveness of our campaigns. These are only set if you have given consent.

3. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on our site are set by third-party services we use. These include:

•Shopify — powers our checkout and payment processing. Shopify sets cookies to manage your cart and secure your transaction.

•Supabase — our backend platform uses session tokens to keep you logged in securely.

•Analytics providers — we may use tools such as Google Analytics to understand site usage. These providers have their own privacy policies governing their use of data.

We do not control third-party cookies and recommend reviewing the privacy policies of those providers directly.

4. Cookie Categories in Detail

Strictly Necessary

These cookies are essential for you to browse the website and use its features. Without them, services like your shopping cart and account login would not work.

Functional

These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred theme) and provide enhanced, more personal features.

Performance & Analytics

These cookies collect information about how you use our website — for example, which pages you visit most often. All information collected is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

Targeting & Advertising

These cookies are used to deliver adverts more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.

5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

•Browser settings — most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies through their settings. Refer to your browser's help documentation for instructions.

•Our cookie banner — when you first visit our site, you can accept or decline non-essential cookies via our consent banner.

Please note that restricting cookies may impact the functionality of our website. Essential cookies cannot be disabled as they are required for the site to operate.
