PawDraft publishes practical care guides for the pets you live with — everything from crate training and breed comparisons to what a valid ESA letter actually needs. Like most websites, we use cookies and similar storage to keep the site working and to understand which guides people read. This page explains what that means in plain terms.
What a cookie is
A cookie is a small text file a site stores in your browser. Some are set by PawDraft, others by third parties whose services run on our pages. They can remember a preference, count a visit, or help decide which ad you see.
The cookies used here
- Essential. Needed for the site to function — remembering your cookie choice, keeping pages loading correctly, and basic security. These cannot be switched off from within the site.
- Analytics. We use Google Analytics to see which articles get read and where visitors drop off. It tells us, for example, that our emotional support animal guides get far more traffic than our travel pieces — which is how we decide what to write and update next. The data we see is aggregated, not tied to your name.
- Advertising. PawDraft carries ads through Google AdSense. Google and its partners may set cookies to serve ads, limit how often you see the same one, and measure whether an ad worked. Depending on your region and your consent choice, ads may be personalised or limited to non-personalised, context-based ads.
Your consent
If you are in a region that requires it, a consent banner appears on your first visit. Nothing beyond essential cookies is set until you make a choice, and you can change your decision later by reopening the banner from the site footer. Declining does not restrict access — every guide on PawDraft stays free to read either way.
Managing cookies in your browser
Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge all let you block or delete cookies from their privacy settings. You can also opt out of personalised Google advertising through Google's own ad settings. Blocking everything may mean the site forgets your consent choice and asks again on each visit.
