This Cookie Policy explains how Local Value, LLC DBA Vetsnear.me uses cookies and similar technologies on vetsnear.me.
1. What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file a website stores in your browser. Cookies let the site recognize you across page loads — for example, to keep you signed in or remember your filter choices.
2. Categories we use
| Category | Purpose | Examples | Your control |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Required to deliver the Service you requested — sign-in, security, consent record | Session cookie, CSRF token, cookie_consent cookie | Always on; cannot be disabled |
| Preferences | Remember choices you have made — filter selections, saved locations when not signed in, locale | (set by your own actions on the site) | Where required by your region, we will ask for your consent before setting these |
| Analytics | Help us understand aggregate site usage | Google Analytics 4 cookies (_ga, _ga_*) | Opt-in — GA4 is not loaded until you accept analytics in the cookie banner |
| Marketing | Cross-site advertising | None — we do not currently use marketing cookies | n/a |
3. Your choices
When you visit vetsnear.me from the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, Switzerland, or California, we show a cookie banner letting you choose what to allow. You may:
- Accept all — all category-2 and category-3 cookies load.
- Reject non-essential — only essential cookies load. Analytics is disabled.
- Manage preferences — fine-grained per-category opt-in.
Your choice is recorded in a first-party cookie and an associated server-side consent record. You can revisit it any time by emailing legal@vetsnear.me.
If you reject analytics, the Google Analytics 4 script is not loaded — no pings, no cookies.
4. Third-party cookies
We use Google Analytics 4 for aggregate usage analytics, subject to your consent. GA4 sets first-party cookies on vetsnear.me; data is shared with Google as a subprocessor under our Privacy Notice.
5. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
We currently do not respond to Do Not Track signals because no consistent industry standard has emerged. If and when we engage in any sale or sharing of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, we will honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal as a valid consumer opt-out request under CCPA/CPRA and equivalent state laws. Today we do not sell or share personal information for advertising purposes; your cookie-banner choice is the authoritative signal we honor.
6. Changes
We will update this Cookie Policy when we add or remove cookies. Material changes will trigger a re-prompt of the cookie banner.
