Cookie Policy

What are cookies

Cookies are small text files stored in your browser when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember certain information across page loads — such as your preferences — and, in some cases, to measure how visitors use the site.

Cookies we use

We use two categories of cookies:

• Essential cookies — Required for the site to function. These store your cookie consent choice (key: pawsandscissors_cookie in localStorage) so you're not asked repeatedly. No essential cookies transmit data to third parties.
• Analytics cookies — Optional. If you consent, we may use anonymised usage data to understand which pages are read most and how visitors navigate the site. We do not use advertising cookies or tracking pixels. If we add analytics, it will be configured to anonymise IP addresses and not cross-reference data with other sites.

Your consent choices

When you first visit the site, a banner gives you the option to accept all cookies or decline optional ones. If you decline optional cookies, only essential cookies are used. Your choice is stored locally in your browser and respected on subsequent visits.

You can change your preference at any time by clearing your browser's localStorage data for this site, which will reset the consent prompt on your next visit.

Managing cookies in your browser

You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies from specific sites. Blocking essential cookies may affect site functionality (the cookie banner will reappear on every visit). See your browser's help documentation for instructions.

Third-party cookies

We do not currently embed third-party content (social media widgets, YouTube videos, advertising) that would set third-party cookies. If this changes, we will update this policy.
