SECTION 6 – COOKIES
A cookie is a small piece of information that is stored on a computer for the purpose of identifying that browser during interaction on websites. They are small text files that can be read by a web server in the domain that put the cookie on your hard drive. We may use cookies to store your preferences and settings; help with sign-in; provide targeted ads; and analyze site operations. Device identifiers are assembled from available system elements which could include IP address, user agent information (browser version, OS type and version), your internet domain, a linking page URL or device-generated identifiers such as Apple’s ID for Advertisers or Google’s Android Ad ID. Cookies and similar technologies may be used to remember items such as identifiers and user preferences. A website may set a cookie to the browser if the browser’s preferences allow it.

In addition to the cookies present when you visit our websites, third parties may also set cookies when you visit The Canine Link sites. In some cases, that is because we have hired the third party to provide services on our behalf, such as site analytics. In other cases, it is because our web pages contain content or ads from third parties, such as videos, news content or ads delivered by other ad networks. Because your browser connects to those third parties’ web servers to retrieve that content, those third parties are able to set or read their own cookies on your device and may collect information about your online activities across websites or online services. It is recommended to read, understand and familiarise yourself with any third parties’ privacy policies that apply to those third parties and not directly with The Canine Link.
