Cookie Policy

Template notice: This document is a starting template and must be reviewed by a qualified lawyer before FurKisses relies on it.

This Cookie Policy explains how FurKisses uses cookies and similar technologies, such as local storage, on our website and in our web app. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. Similar technologies, like local storage, let a site save small pieces of information on your device. They help sites remember who you are, keep you signed in and understand how pages are used.

Categories we use

Essential

These are needed for the Service to work and cannot be switched off. They include:

• Authentication session: keeps you signed in securely as you move between pages of the app.
• Security: helps protect against fraudulent requests and abuse.
• Preferences you set: such as remembering your cookie choices.

Because they are strictly necessary, we do not ask for consent before setting them.

Analytics (optional)

With your permission, we use analytics tools to understand how visitors use our website, for example which pages are popular and where people get stuck. This information is aggregated and helps us improve FurKisses. Analytics are only enabled if you accept them.

Marketing (optional)

With your permission, we may use marketing technologies to measure the effectiveness of our advertising and show relevant FurKisses ads on other platforms. These are only enabled if you accept them.

We do not place analytics or marketing cookies on the public booking pages businesses share with their clients unless the business has configured them and obtained consent.

How we record your choice

When you first visit our website, a banner asks whether you accept optional cookies. Your choice is saved in your browser's local storage under the key fk_cookie_consent. We read this value on each visit so we don't ask you again, and we only load optional analytics or marketing tools if it shows you agreed.

Your choice is stored only on the device and browser you used. If you use a different device or browser, you'll be asked again.

Changing your mind

You can change your preferences at any time:

• Click the Cookie settings link in the footer of our website to reopen the consent options and update your choice.
• Or clear the fk_cookie_consent entry, for example by clearing site data for FurKisses in your browser settings. The banner will appear again on your next visit.

You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies may stop you from signing in or using parts of the Service.

Third-party cookies

Some optional tools are provided by third parties, who may set their own cookies when enabled. Their use of information is governed by their own privacy policies.

Retention

Session cookies expire when you sign out or close your browser. Other cookies remain for a set period or until you delete them. Your consent choice stays in local storage until you clear it or change it.

Updates

We may update this policy as our use of cookies changes. The date at the top shows when it was last revised.
