Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Woof & Bowl (“we”, “us”, “our”), available at woofandbowl.com, collects, uses and shares information when you visit our website. By using the site, you agree to this policy.
Information we collect
- Information you give us: your email address if you subscribe to our newsletter, and anything you include if you email us.
- Information collected automatically: like most websites, we and our partners collect technical data such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, referring site and approximate location, using cookies and similar technologies.
Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are small files stored on your device. We use them to keep the site working, to understand how visitors use it (analytics) and to show advertising. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; some features may not work properly if you do.
Advertising
We use third-party advertising companies, such as Google AdSense and, in the future, other ad management partners (for example Mediavine or Raptive), to serve ads when you visit our site. These companies may use cookies and similar technologies to collect information about your visits to this and other websites in order to show ads that may interest you.
Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this and other sites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of many third-party vendors at aboutads.info and networkadvertising.org. Learn more about how Google uses information from sites that use its services.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics to measure visits — for example, which guides are read and which tools are used. Google Analytics uses cookies and collects data such as pages viewed, approximate location and device type. This data is used in aggregate to improve the site. Learn more in Google’s Privacy Policy and how Google uses information from sites that use its services. You can opt out with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
We also use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which counts page views and measures page speed without cookies, without fingerprinting and without tracking you across sites. See Cloudflare’s Privacy Policy.
Affiliate links
Some pages may contain affiliate links to online stores. If you click one and make a purchase, the retailer may use cookies to credit us with a small commission at no extra cost to you. See our Affiliate Disclosure.
Newsletter
If you subscribe, we store your email address (plus the page you signed up on and, if present, the site that sent you) only to send our newsletter and related updates. Every email has an unsubscribe link, and you can ask us to delete your email at any time by writing to [email protected]. We use third-party services (such as Cloudflare and an email service provider) to store addresses and send emails; we never sell your email address.
If you use our contact form, we store your name, email and message only to reply to you. You can ask us to delete them at any time by emailing us.
How we use information
- To run, maintain and improve the website.
- To send the newsletter you asked for.
- To show advertising that keeps the site free.
- To respond to your messages.
- To protect the site against fraud and abuse and comply with the law.
