PetPride Cookie and Similar Technologies PolicyLast Updated: September 20, 2026This Cookie and Similar Technologies Policy explains how PetPride (“PetPride,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies, software development kits (“SDKs”), device identifiers, local storage, and similar technologies when you use the PetPride website, mobile application, game, and related services (collectively, the “Services”). This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which provides additional information about how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information. 1. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?Cookies are small data files that may be stored on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device when you visit a website. Mobile applications do not necessarily use traditional browser cookies in the same way that websites do. Instead, mobile apps may use technologies such as SDKs, advertising identifiers, device identifiers, local storage, pixels, and similar technologies. Throughout this policy, references to “cookies and similar technologies” include these technologies where applicable. 2. How PetPride Uses Cookies and Similar TechnologiesPetPride may use cookies and similar technologies for purposes including:
Operating and securing our Services;
Remembering user preferences;
Understanding how our Services are used;
Diagnosing technical problems and improving performance;
Providing and measuring advertisements;
Preventing fraud and abuse; and
Complying with legal and regulatory requirements.
The technologies used may differ between the PetPride website and the PetPride mobile application. 3. Advertising Through Google AdMobThe PetPride mobile application uses Google AdMob, an advertising service provided by Google, to display advertisements within the game. Through the Google Mobile Ads SDK and related advertising technologies, Google and its advertising partners may collect or receive certain information from your device in connection with providing, measuring, and improving advertisements. Depending on your device, settings, location, consent choices, and applicable law, this information may include:
IP address;
Device and advertising identifiers;
General or approximate location derived from an IP address;
Information about interactions with advertisements;
App and device information;
Diagnostic information, including certain crash information; and
Performance information.
Google and participating advertising partners may use this information for purposes such as providing advertisements, measuring advertising performance, preventing fraud and abuse, analytics, and, where permitted and consented to, personalizing advertisements. The information collected and used by Google is also subject to Google's own privacy policies and terms. 4. Personalized and Non-Personalized AdvertisingDepending on your location, age, device settings, and consent choices, PetPride may display personalized or non-personalized advertising. Personalized advertising may use information about a user's interests or activity to select advertisements that may be more relevant to that user. Non-personalized advertisements are generally selected using contextual information rather than a user's previous behavior, although limited information may still be processed for purposes such as ad delivery, frequency capping, aggregated reporting, security, and fraud prevention. Where required by applicable law, PetPride and its advertising providers will request appropriate consent before using information for personalized advertising. 5. Consent and Privacy ChoicesDepending on your location, PetPride may present a privacy or consent message that allows you to make choices regarding advertising and the use of your information. For users in jurisdictions where consent is required, including certain users in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, and Switzerland, PetPride may use a consent management platform to collect and communicate applicable privacy choices. Users may be provided options to consent, decline consent, or manage their privacy choices. Where required, users will also be provided a way to review or change their privacy and consent choices after making an initial selection. 6. Device Advertising ControlsYour mobile device may provide additional controls relating to advertising identifiers and tracking. Depending on your operating system, you may be able to limit tracking, reset or delete advertising identifiers, control app permissions, or otherwise adjust advertising and privacy settings through your device settings. Changing these settings may affect how advertisements are selected or measured but may not prevent advertisements from appearing. 7. Third-Party Advertising PartnersGoogle AdMob may work with Google and other advertising technology providers to deliver and measure advertisements. These third parties may process information in accordance with their own privacy policies and applicable legal requirements. The advertising providers involved may vary depending on factors such as your location, the advertisements being displayed, PetPride's AdMob configuration, and your privacy choices. 8. Website CookiesThe PetPride website may separately use cookies or similar technologies that are necessary for the operation, security, functionality, or performance of the website. If we use analytics, advertising, or other non-essential cookies on our website, we will provide appropriate disclosures and consent choices where required by applicable law. The use of Google AdMob in the PetPride mobile application does not necessarily mean that AdMob cookies are used on the PetPride website. 9. Children's PrivacyPetPride takes children's privacy seriously. The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) and other children's privacy laws may impose additional requirements on websites, apps, and online services directed to children or when an operator has knowledge that a user is a child. Where applicable, PetPride will configure advertising requests and services to provide age-appropriate treatment and will take appropriate steps regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of children's information. PetPride does not use children's personal information for personalized advertising where prohibited by applicable law. For more information about how PetPride handles children's information, please review our Privacy Policy. 10. Managing Cookies on Our WebsiteMost web browsers allow you to manage cookies through your browser settings. Depending on your browser, you may be able to block cookies, receive notifications when cookies are being placed, or delete previously stored cookies. Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality or performance of the PetPride website. Your cookie choices may be specific to the browser and device you use. If you use multiple browsers or devices, you may need to adjust your preferences on each one. 11. Changes to This PolicyWe may update this Cookie and Similar Technologies Policy periodically to reflect changes to PetPride, our advertising and technology providers, applicable laws, or our privacy practices. When we make changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this policy. We encourage users to review this policy periodically. 12.
