Analytics cookies: your choice
With your permission we use Google Analytics to count visits and see which pages people find useful. It sets the two cookies below. Nothing is loaded from Google, and no analytics cookie is set, unless you accept.
| Name | Type | What it’s for | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Cookie, Google Analytics (only if you accept) | A random ID that tells one visitor from another, so we can count visits and returning visitors. | 2 years |
| _ga_26K6YMPVVQ | Cookie, Google Analytics (only if you accept) | Keeps track of the current visit across pages. | 2 years |
Google Analytics reports the pages you view, roughly where you are (town or region, not your address), your device and browser, and how you reached us. We don’t use it for advertising, and we don’t turn on Google’s advertising features. Google acts for us in running it, and may process the data outside the UK. Choosing “Turn off” stops it and deletes the cookies.
Other things we store in your browser
| Name | Type | What it’s for | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dog profile | Local storage | Remembers the dog details you entered so we can show daily costs and fit. Only set when you save a profile, and never sent to us. | Until you clear it |
| Saved foods | Local storage | Remembers the foods you saved to look at later. Only set when you save a food, and never sent to us. | Until you clear it |
UK law allows storage that’s strictly necessary for a service you’ve asked for without asking first. The dog profile and saved foods only exist because you created them, and you can delete them from the profile panel and the saved foods page.
Our own staff sign-in uses one security cookie on the admin pages. Visitors never receive it.
When you leave our site
When you click through to a retailer, you’re on their website and their cookie policy applies. If the link is an affiliate link (food pages say so beside the prices), the retailer or its affiliate network may set a cookie to record that we referred you. That cookie is theirs, not ours.
