Cookie Policy
Last updated: Jun 22, 2026
Database.pet uses cookies sparingly and transparently. This policy explains what cookies are, which ones we set, what they do, and how you stay in control of them.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device to remember information between visits — for example, your language preference. They cannot run programs or carry viruses, and the ones we use cannot identify you personally.
2. Essential cookies
We set one essential cookie to remember the language you have chosen so the site loads correctly on your return. This cookie is necessary for the site to function as you expect and does not require consent.
3. Analytics cookies
We may use privacy-respecting analytics that set cookies to measure aggregate, anonymous traffic — such as which pages are most visited. These help us decide which food profiles to prioritise. They never build an advertising profile of you, and where required they are only set with your consent.
4. Managing and disabling cookies
You are always in control. Every major browser lets you view, block or delete cookies through its settings, and you can use private/incognito browsing to avoid persistent cookies entirely. Blocking the language cookie simply means the site will default to your browser language on each visit.
5. Third-party cookies
We keep third-party cookies to a minimum. Any analytics provider we use processes data on our behalf under strict agreements and is not permitted to use it for its own advertising purposes.
6. Changes to this policy
If we change the cookies we use, we will update this page and its "Last updated" date. Please check back occasionally to stay informed.
