This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which ones Vet Cost Atlas uses and how you can control them. It complements our Privacy Policy.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser. They let a site remember things, such as your consent choices, and they let services like analytics and advertising work. Similar technologies, such as local storage, are covered by this policy too.
The cookies we use
| Type | What it does | Examples | Needs your consent? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Necessary | Keeps the site working and remembers your cookie choices | Cookies that remember your consent choice, set by Google’s consent tool for visitors in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland | No |
| Analytics | Shows us how visitors use the site so we can improve it | Google Analytics (_ga, _ga_*) | Yes, where the law requires it |
| Advertising | Shows and measures ads, limits how often you see the same ad and, if you agree, personalizes ads | Google AdSense (__gads, __gpi, __eoi and similar) | Yes, where the law requires it |
Cookie names can change. Google lists its current cookies in how Google uses cookies.
How long cookies last
Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Others stay for a set time: our consent cookie usually for up to 12 months, Google Analytics cookies for up to 2 years and Google advertising cookies for up to 13 months.
How to control cookies
- Our consent message. If you visit from the EEA, the UK or Switzerland, a consent message from Google’s consent management platform appears on your first visit. You can consent, refuse, or choose by purpose and by partner, and you can change your choice at any time with the Privacy and cookie settings link at the bottom of the page.
- Your browser. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies in their settings. If you block necessary cookies, some parts of the site may not work properly.
- Google’s tools. Turn off personalized ads in Google’s Ads Settings and opt out of Google Analytics with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
- Industry opt-outs. aboutads.info in the U.S. and youronlinechoices.eu in Europe.
