This policy explains what happens to your information when you visit pupweekly.com (“PupWeekly”, “we”). Questions: contact@pupweekly.com.
What we see when you read
We keep simple visit statistics so we know which stories people read: the page, the link that brought you here (for example one of our Facebook posts), your country, the type of device and browser, and how far down the page you read. These statistics are not tied to your name or email address, and we don’t sell them.
Ads
PupWeekly is free because of ads. Ads are served by Journey by Mediavine and its advertising partners, who may use cookies and similar technologies, as described in the section below.
Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the internet. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google’s Ads Settings, or opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising at www.aboutads.info.
Mediavine Programmatic Advertising (Ver 1.1)
The Website works with Mediavine to manage third-party interest-based advertising appearing on the Website. Mediavine serves content and advertisements when you visit the Website, which may use first and third-party cookies. A cookie is a small text file which is sent to your computer or mobile device (referred to in this policy as a "device") by the web server so that a website can remember some information about your browsing activity on the Website.
First party cookies are created by the website that you are visiting. A third-party cookie is frequently used in behavioral advertising and analytics and is created by a domain other than the website you are visiting. Third-party cookies, tags, pixels, beacons and other similar technologies (collectively, "Tags") may be placed on the Website to monitor interaction with advertising content and to target and optimize advertising. Each internet browser has functionality so that you can block both first and third-party cookies and clear your browser's cache. The "help" feature of the menu bar on most browsers will tell you how to stop accepting new cookies, how to receive notification of new cookies, how to disable existing cookies and how to clear your browser's cache. For more information about cookies and how to disable them, you can consult the information at All About Cookies.
Without cookies you may not be able to take full advantage of the Website content and features. Please note that rejecting cookies does not mean that you will no longer see ads when you visit our Site. In the event you opt-out, you will still see non-personalized advertisements on the Website.
The Website collects the following data using a cookie when serving personalized ads:
- IP Address
- Operating System type
- Operating System version
- Device Type
- Language of the website
- Web browser type
- Email (in hashed form)
Mediavine Partners (companies listed below with whom Mediavine shares data) may also use this data to link to other end user information the partner has independently collected to deliver targeted advertisements. Mediavine Partners may also separately collect data about end users from other sources, such as advertising IDs or pixels, and link that data to data collected from Mediavine publishers in order to provide interest-based advertising across your online experience, including devices, browsers and apps. This data includes usage data, cookie information, device information, information about interactions between users and advertisements and websites, geolocation data, traffic data, and information about a visitor's referral source to a particular website. Mediavine Partners may also create unique IDs to create audience segments, which are used to provide targeted advertising.
If you would like more information about this practice and to know your choices to opt-in or opt-out of this data collection, please visit National Advertising Initiative opt out page. You may also visit Digital Advertising Alliance website and Network Advertising Initiative website to learn more information about interest-based advertising. You may download the AppChoices app at Digital Advertising Alliance's AppChoices app to opt out in connection with mobile apps, or use the platform controls on your mobile device to opt out.

Facebook (Meta Pixel)
Most of our readers come from our Facebook page. We use the Meta Pixel to measure visits that come from Facebook and how readers use our pages, including when an ad on our site is clicked. The pixel lets Meta read cookies and an identifier of your browser, and Meta may use this information under its own privacy policy. You can control how Meta uses it for ads in your Facebook ad preferences.
If you give us your email address, for example to save a story or get updates, it is handled by Grow by Mediavine, our site tools provider, and used only for that purpose. You can unsubscribe at any time.
Your choices
- Visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland are asked for consent before personalized ads and non-essential cookies are used, and can change that choice at any time.
- You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. You will still see ads, but they will be less personalized.
- Depending on where you live (for example California), you may have the right to know what personal information is collected about you, to have it deleted, and to opt out of its sale or sharing for advertising. Use the opt-out links above, or write to contact@pupweekly.com and we will help.
Children
PupWeekly is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.
