1🤔 What Are Cookies?

Think of a cookie as a tiny, smart text file that a website stores on your computer or mobile device when you visit. It allows the website to "remember" your actions and preferences (like login details, language, font size, and items in your shopping cart) over a period of time, so you don't have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.

2⚙️ How We Use Cookies

At RestorePaw, we use cookies for several important reasons, all designed to make your experience better:

• To Make Our Website Work: Some cookies are essential for you to be able to navigate the website and use its features, such as adding items to your cart and proceeding to checkout.
• To Improve Our Website: We use cookies to collect anonymous data about how visitors use our site. This helps us understand which pages are popular and how we can improve the website's performance and design.
• To Personalise Your Experience: Cookies help us remember your preferences and show you content and offers that are more relevant to you and your pet.
• For Marketing: We use cookies to help us measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns and to show you relevant ads on other websites.

3🗂️ Types of Cookies We Use

We use a few different categories of cookies to provide you with the best possible experience.

✅ Strictly Necessary Cookies

These are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. Without these cookies, services like the shopping cart cannot be provided.

📊 Performance & Analytics Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

🎨 Functional Cookies

These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, then some or all of these services may not function properly.

🎯 Targeting & Marketing Cookies

These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners (like Google and Facebook). They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.

4🌐 Third-Party Cookies

In addition to our own cookies, we may also use various third-party cookies to report usage statistics of the service, deliver advertisements, and so on. Our website is built on Shopify, and we use services like Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel, which will set their own cookies.
