Who We Are
The Curious Pet is a content-based website focused on pet behavior education and practical guidance for cat and dog owners.
Information We Collect
When you use our contact form, we may collect your name, email address, and message so we can respond to your request. We do not sell or rent this information to third parties.
We may also receive basic technical information through server logs, WordPress functionality, cookies, and security tools.
If you accept our optional Google Analytics cookies, we use Google Analytics 4 to understand visits and how readers navigate our content. The reports include information such as pages viewed and the sources of visits. We do not intentionally send contact-form names, email addresses, or messages to Google Analytics.
Cookies and Analytics Choices
The website uses technical services and may use cookies needed for site functionality and security.
Google Analytics is optional. Its tag does not load until you choose Accept analytics, and choosing Reject analytics keeps it blocked. You can change your choice using the Analytics preferences button on the website. Withdrawing consent stops Google Analytics on subsequent page loads and removes its cookies from this site.
We store your analytics choice in your browser’s local storage for up to 180 days so that the site can remember your preference. If that preference expires, is cleared, or cannot be stored, the site will ask again.
You can also manage cookies and website storage through your browser settings.
Third-Party Services
We use Google Analytics 4, provided by Google, to measure site visits when you consent. We have not enabled Google Analytics advertising personalization or Google signals in our website tag. More information about Google’s handling of data is available in the Google Privacy Policy.
The website also uses WordPress and Jetpack services, including site statistics and security features. Rejecting Google Analytics does not disable these separate services. More information is available in Automattic’s Privacy Policy.
At this time, The Curious Pet does not use advertising networks. If advertising services or additional tracking tools are added in the future, this policy will be updated accordingly.
Affiliate Disclosure
Some articles discuss products. Where an affiliate link is used, we may earn a commission from a qualifying purchase at no additional cost to you. Any relevant affiliate relationship will be disclosed in the article. Mentioning a product does not, by itself, mean that the link is an affiliate link or that we have personally tested the product.
Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect website data, but no internet transmission is completely secure.
Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights regarding your personal data. For questions or requests relating to information you have provided through the website, please use our contact page.
You can change or withdraw your Google Analytics consent at any time using Analytics preferences. Withdrawing consent does not remove reports already collected before you withdrew it.
Changes to This Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in site functionality or legal requirements.

If you have any questions regarding this policy, you may contact us through the website.
