Cookie Policy
How and why ZEAL uses cookies and similar technologies, plus California (CCPA) Do Not Sell or Share controls and Global Privacy Control (GPC) handling.
Effective date: August 11, 20261 What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember your actions and preferences over time. Similar technologies include pixel tags, local storage, and device identifiers. In this Policy, “cookies” refers to all such technologies.
2 How We Use Cookies
Strictly necessaryAnalyticsPreferenceAdvertising
- Strictly necessary cookies — required for the Site to function (e.g., security, load balancing). These cannot be switched off.
- Analytics cookies — such as Google Analytics, help us understand how visitors use the Site so we can improve content. These are set only where permitted.
- Preferences cookies — remember settings like dark mode so your experience is consistent across visits.
- Advertising / marketing cookies — used to measure campaign performance and, where applicable, deliver relevant promotions. These may involve the “sale” or “sharing” of limited identifiers under California law (see Section 4).
3 Managing Cookies
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block cookies entirely or alert you before one is stored. Disabling strictly necessary cookies may affect how the Site works. For broad opt-out of analytics and advertising cookies, you can also use industry tools such as the DAA Webchoices tool and Google Ad Settings.
4 California Residents: Do Not Sell or Share
Under the CCPA, as amended by the CPRA, you have the right to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of your personal information. Some analytics and advertising cookies may be considered a “sale” or “share” of limited identifiers under California law.
How to exercise your opt-out
- Global Privacy Control (GPC): We honor the GPC signal. If your browser or extension sends a GPC signal, we will treat it as a valid opt-out request for that browser.
- Email opt-out: Send a request to shop@zealpetfood.com with the subject “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information.”
Limit the Use of My Sensitive Personal Information
Where we collect sensitive personal information (for example, precise geolocation), we use it only for purposes permitted by the CPRA. You may request to limit its use by emailing shop@zealpetfood.com with the subject “Limit Sensitive Personal Information Use.”
