The term "Cookie" is used in this Notice in the broad sense to include all similar tracking techniques and technology, including, but not limited to, web beacons, tracking pixels, and log files. For more information on these additional tools, see our glossary below.

Types of information collected and reasons for collection

Cookies help us to better understand your expectations of our Site and, as a result, allow us, among other strategies, to offer our visitors a pleasant and sustainable experience. Here are examples of the types of information that we collect through Cookies:

• The number of users visiting the 4EveryPet Site, the frequency with which the Site was viewed, the pages viewed, the clicks made on the Site and the total duration of navigation on the Site;
• The name of the website visited prior to the 4EveryPet Site;
• Whether you are visiting our Site for the first time or not;
• Your viewing preferences (e.g. layout, sizing preferences, language etc.);
• Your purchases and your orders; and
• Your user name, your password, the type of browser used and your IP address, so that we can identify you during your next visits.

In addition, Cookies allow us to do the following:

• Customize your visit: We may use information collected during your visit to facilitate your next visit to our Site;
• Customize the advertising and marketing messages that appear on the Site, whether ours or those of third parties; and
• Analyze customer trends: We compile information on individual Site visits and analyze them as a whole in aggregated form.

Type of Cookies We Use

We use first-party and third-party Cookies for several reasons. Some Cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Site to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" Cookies. Other Cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users and to enhance the experience on our Site. Third parties also serve Cookies through our Site for advertising, analytics and other purposes. The specific types of first and third party Cookies served through our Site and the purposes they perform are described in more detail below.

FIRST-PARTY COOKIES

These cookies are created by 4EveryPet. They are, for the most part, used to allow you to browse our Site and use its features. First-party cookies include:

• Essential Website Cookies: These Cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our Site and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas.
• Functional Cookies: These Cookies allow you to browse our Site or benefit from some of its features, such as memorizing language preferences or placing orders online.
• Analytics Cookies: These Cookies allow us to collect statistics (aggregated and anonymous) on the usage of the Site by you and other visitors. This information helps us improve the features offered on its Site.

THIRD-PARTY COOKIES

In addition to our proprietary Cookies, some third-party and affiliated companies may place Cookies on your computer, access them and associate web beacons with them. These Cookies enable third-party features or functionalities to be provided on or through the Site. The parties that set these third-party Cookies can recognize your device both when it visits our Site and also when it visits certain other websites. Third-party cookies include:

• Functional Cookies: These Cookies are defined by third parties who support our Site and they allow you to use useful services and features, such as instant messaging support.
• Online Behavioral Advertising Cookies: These Cookies are defined by our advertising partners and collect data about your browsing habits, as well as your preferences for products and services. This information allows 4EveryPet and the ad networks that we work with to display relevant ads on the most relevant pages of partner sites and the 4EveryPet Site. For example, third parties or affiliates may manage 4EveryPet advertising programs on a non-4EveryPet site.
• Marketing Cookies: Cookies or similar technologies may be used by our online data partners or vendors to associate activities you take on the site with information they or others have about you, including your email address. We (or service providers on our behalf) may then send communications and marketing to these email addresses. 

Duration of storage of cookies on your device

The duration of storage of Cookies on your device may vary, depending on the category to which they belong: temporary or permanent.

Temporary Cookies

We use temporary Cookies on all of our secure pages to assign and register a session ID. This identifier is also used for internal reporting purposes. It does not allow us to identify you personally by name and this type of Cookie does not leave any information recoverable on your hard drive. Most of our proprietary Cookies fall into this category and expire when you close your Internet browser.

Permanent Cookies

Our first-party Cookies and third-party Cookies are permanent Cookies. They allow us to understand visitors' browsing behavior over a longer period of time or to provide you with additional features related to your Site customization requests and the content that you have saved or stored. They can stay on your computer for 24 hours, a week or several years, depending on their function. This means that these Cookies survive after your browser is closed and can be used by our Site to recognize your computer when you re-open your browser later.

Cookie Management

We only place Cookies on your device after you give us permission. If you do not want to receive some of the categories of Cookies used on our Site, you can use the means described below to disable them. Note, however, that we will still need to set a Cookie on your device to remember your preferences when you visit our Site again from a single browser.

At the moment, it is technically impossible for you to synchronize your settings between your browsers and your devices (your computer or your smartphone). You must set them on each browser/device that you currently use and each time you use a new browser or device.

You can decide whether to accept or reject Cookies. You can exercise your Cookie preferences by managing Cookies from your web browser. As the means by which to activate or deactivate Cookies varies from one web browser to another, you should visit your web browser's help menu for more information on Cookie preferences. You can also configure your browser at any time to be notified of the receipt of a Cookie, so that you can decide whether you want to accept it or not. Cookies do not under any circumstances read the data from your hard drive and you can delete them from your computer at any time.

4EveryPet may allow some of our advertising partners to collect Cookies from our site visitors so that we and our partners can deliver ads that are more relevant to you.
