We keep cookies minimal. This page tells you exactly what we use, why, and how to turn them off.

4. Essential cookies
Essential cookies are required for the platform to work. You cannot opt out of these while using the platform — without them, you cannot stay logged in or use core features. They do not track you or collect personal data beyond what is necessary for the service.
5. Analytics cookies
We use anonymous analytics to understand how people use PawKiDex — which pages are visited, where users drop off, and how the platform can be improved. This data is aggregated and cannot be linked back to you as an individual.
You can opt out of analytics cookies at any time — see section 6 below.

Note: blocking essential cookies will prevent you from logging in and using the platform.

When you first visit PawKiDex, we will ask for your cookie preference. You can change your preference at any time by contacting us at info@pawkidex.com.
7. Local storage
In addition to cookies, we use browser local storage to store certain preferences and session data on your device. This data never leaves your device and is not transmitted to our servers unless you take a specific action (like submitting a form).
8. Changes to this policy
If we add new cookies or change how we use them, we will update this page and the "last updated" date at the top. For material changes, we will notify you via email or in-platform notice.
