Following Your Digital Scent

Our Digital Territory

You know, after forty years working with animals, I've learned that trust is everything. Just like how a nervous cat needs to sniff around before settling in, we want you to know exactly how we use those little digital trackers - cookies - on our pet care learning website.

We're not hiding anything here, dear. This policy explains in plain English what information we gather, why we need it, and how it helps us provide better pet care education for you and your furry family members.

Types of Digital Trackers We Use

Essential Cookies - The Alpha Pack

These are like the pack leaders - absolutely necessary for our website to work properly. They help you log into your courses, remember your progress, and keep your information secure. We can't turn these off because without them, the site just won't function for you.

Session Management Security Course Progress

Analytics Cookies - The Scouts

Think of these as our scouts - they help us understand which courses are most helpful, where people get stuck, and how we can improve our lessons. It's anonymous information that helps us make better content for pet owners like yourself.

What we track:

  • • Which courses you complete
  • • How long you spend on lessons
  • • Which topics need more explanation
  • • Popular search terms

Preference Cookies - Your Personal Space

These remember your personal choices - like whether you prefer dog or cat content, your language settings, or if you've dismissed certain notifications. They make your experience more comfortable, just like how your pet has their favorite sleeping spot.

We Respect Your Territory

Like a well-trained pet, we ask permission before we follow you around.
