COOKIE POLICY

Last updated October 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how The Holistic Paw Pet Salon and Med-Spa ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar server-side technologies when you visit our website at https://holisticpawtherapy.com.

To protect consumer privacy, The Holistic Paw Pet Salon and Med-Spa operates a streamlined, server-first architecture. We do not load intrusive third-party cross-site advertising trackers on our website. Instead, we use a minimal set of first-party identifiers strictly required to manage your session, prevent automated form spam, and protect site security.

WHAT ARE COOKIES?

Cookies are small text files placed on your browser or device when you navigate a website. First-party cookies are set directly by the website domain you are visiting. We use first-party cookies to ensure our website performs properly, remains secure, and accurately processes your service requests.

THE COOKIES WE USE

The following first-party identifiers are utilized on our website. Unless otherwise indicated, these temporary identifiers expire automatically within 30 days:

holisticpawtherapy_com_session (Strictly Necessary): Used for authorized administrative authentication and secure session maintenance.
holisticpawtherapy_com_client_id (Security & Verification): A unique cryptographic client identifier used to distinguish legitimate human visitors from automated bot traffic.
holisticpawtherapy_com_gpc_status (Privacy Preference): Used to store and honor your Global Privacy Control (GPC) state preference across page visits.
holisticpawtherapy_com_sess_start (Performance & Anti-Spam): A secure timestamp used to calculate form interaction timing to prevent automated form submission spam.

HOW CAN YOU CONTROL COOKIES?

Global Privacy Control (GPC)

The easiest way to communicate your privacy preferences is via Global Privacy Control (GPC). When our server detects a GPC signal emitted by your browser, we automatically disable all non-essential analytics tracking for your session.

Browser Controls

You can configure your web browser settings to accept, block, or delete cookies. If you choose to disable all cookies, you may still browse our public service pages, but certain interactive form submissions may require verification.
