This Privacy Policy explains how Dogs Portal ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and shares information when you visit our website (the "Site").

We may use cookies, pixels, and similar technologies for:

  • Analytics (e.g., understanding traffic and content performance)
  • Site functionality (e.g., basic performance and security)

You can control cookies through your browser settings. If you disable cookies, some features may not function properly.

4. Advertising and affiliate links (planned)

We may display advertising and/or use affiliate links in the future. If we do:

  • Affiliate links: If you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Affiliate partners may use cookies or similar technologies to track referrals.
  • Ads: Advertising partners may use cookies or device identifiers to show ads and measure their performance, potentially including interest-based advertising.
