You stay in control. Some technologies are necessary for this website to work. Where optional analytics or marketing technologies are used, you can accept them, reject them or choose your preferences through our cookie settings.
What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small pieces of information that websites can place on your device or browser. Websites can also use other technologies that store information on, or access information from, your device.
These technologies can perform different jobs. Some are needed for a website or requested service to function properly, while others may help a business understand how visitors use its website or measure marketing activity.
In this policy, we use the word “cookies” as a convenient way of referring to cookies and similar storage or access technologies.
How this website uses cookies
Happy Tails Dog Grooming uses website technology to provide visitors with information about our grooming services and to support features such as online booking.
Depending on the technology enabled on the website, cookies or similar technologies may be used for:
- operating core website functionality;
- protecting the website and maintaining security;
- remembering your cookie preferences;
- supporting services or features you request, such as online booking;
- understanding how visitors use the website where optional analytics have been enabled; and
- measuring advertising or marketing where those optional tools have been enabled.
Used where genuinely required for the website or a service you request to operate properly.
Helps us understand website usage where optional analytics tools are enabled.
Used for advertising or campaign measurement if those technologies are added to the website.
Booking technology may use storage or access technologies when you choose to interact with the booking service.
Strictly necessary technologies
Some technologies may be used without optional consent where they are genuinely essential to provide the website or a service you have requested, or where another applicable exemption permits their use.
These may include technology used to:
- provide essential website functionality;
- maintain security;
- deliver a feature or service you have specifically requested, where the relevant legal requirements are met; and
- remember the cookie preferences you have selected.
This website stores your cookie choice locally using tw_cookie_consent_v1. This allows the website to remember whether you have accepted, rejected or customised optional technologies.
Analytics technologies
Analytics technologies can help us understand how visitors interact with the website. For example, they may help identify which pages are visited and how people move through the site.
Where optional analytics technology is enabled on this website, we aim to activate it only after the relevant permission has been provided through the cookie controls.
You can reject optional analytics technologies without preventing you from viewing the ordinary content of this website.
Marketing technologies
Marketing technologies may be used to measure advertising, understand campaigns or support advertising across different websites or services.
These technologies are not required for the ordinary operation of this website.
Where marketing technologies are enabled, we aim to activate them only after the relevant permission has been provided through the cookie controls.
Online booking and third-party services
This website provides online booking functionality using third-party booking technology.
When you choose to interact with an embedded booking system or another third-party feature, that provider may process information or use storage and access technologies in order to provide the feature.
Whether a particular technology requires consent or falls within an applicable exemption depends on its purpose and whether it is genuinely necessary to provide the service you requested.
Third-party services may also be subject to their provider's own privacy information and terms.
We do not treat every technology used by a third-party booking provider as automatically necessary. Technologies should be assessed according to what they do and why they are used.
Technologies currently documented
The following technology is used by the Tailworks consent component on this website.
| Technology | Purpose | Category | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| tw_cookie_consent_v1 Browser local storage | Remembers the visitor's cookie preferences. | Necessary | Up to 180 days under the current configuration. |
Additional technologies may be used by the website platform, booking service or other features. This policy should be updated where additional optional analytics, marketing or other relevant storage/access technologies are intentionally introduced.
Your cookie choices
When you first visit this website, our cookie controls allow you to:
- accept optional technologies;
- reject optional technologies; or
- manage analytics and marketing preferences separately.
Technologies that are genuinely necessary for the website or a service you request are not controlled in the same way as optional analytics or marketing technologies.
How to change your preferences
After you make a choice, a small Cookie settings control remains available on the website.
You can use it to reopen your preferences and change whether optional analytics or marketing technologies are allowed.
You can also control or delete cookies and site data through your browser. Browser controls vary, so refer to the help information provided by your browser if you want to manage them directly.
How long we remember your choice
The current Tailworks cookie-consent system is configured to remember your preference for up to 180 days.
When that period expires, or where the consent record is removed from your browser, you may be asked to choose your preferences again.
We may also ask you again where our use of optional technologies changes significantly and a fresh choice is appropriate.
Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy if the technologies used by this website change or if we need to update the information we provide about cookies and similar technologies.
The latest version will appear on this page and the “Last updated” date at the top will be changed when appropriate.
