Cookie Policy

Cookies and local storage

Cookies are small browser files; similar technologies include local storage. This site uses essential delivery/security infrastructure, a preference record for your analytics choice, and optional Google Analytics only when accepted.

Essential functions

Hosting, security, WordPress login and forms may use cookies when the relevant function is used. An ordinary public visit does not necessarily use every such cookie. WordPress administrator cookies relate to authorised access, not a membership service.

Your preference record

orp-cookie-choice-v1 is stored locally in your browser to remember whether you accepted or rejected analytics and the date of that choice. It expires after six months and is not an advertising identifier. If local storage is blocked, the choice can apply to this visit but may be requested again later.

Optional analytics

Google Analytics is not loaded before acceptance. If accepted, cookies such as _ga and a property-specific _ga_ cookie may distinguish visits. Their duration depends on Google’s configuration and the browser; the default _ga lifetime is commonly up to two years. Advertising storage and personalisation are disabled.

Rejecting analytics does not prevent reading, searching or contacting us.

Affiliate retailers

Amazon affiliate links are active in some guides. Displaying these ordinary links does not load Amazon advertising code here. Following one takes you to Amazon, where Amazon’s own cookies and policies apply.

Change your choice

Use “Cookie settings” at the foot of a page. Rejecting after accepting clears accessible Google Analytics cookies on this domain and reloads the page with analytics disabled. You can also clear cookies/local storage in your browser.

See Google’s cookie information and our Privacy Policy. Contact info@oneroofpaws.com if behaviour appears inconsistent with your choice.
