Cookie Policy
Effective Date: October 31, 2026
About This Policy
Pupmiette is a U.S.-based online retailer offering pet clothing and apparel for dogs.
This Cookie Policy explains how cookies and similar technologies are used on pupmiette.com, why we use them, and how you can control them while browsing our website, exploring pet clothing collections, checking product information, or placing an order.
We respect your privacy and believe you should have clear information about the technologies that support your shopping experience and the choices available to you.
Please read this policy together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use, protect, and manage personal information and how you can exercise your privacy rights.
1. What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help maintain shopping sessions, remember cart contents, keep you signed in, support checkout and security, and remember your privacy choices.
We also use related technologies, such as pixels, scripts, and browser storage. In this policy, the term "cookies" includes these technologies where they serve the purposes described below.
Cookies may operate in different ways:
First-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are set under pupmiette.com and support website functions and preferences.
Third-Party Cookies
Third-party cookies or similar technologies are provided through services integrated with our website.
Session Cookies
Session cookies expire when the relevant browsing session ends.
Persistent Cookies
Persistent cookies remain until their configured expiration date or until you delete them.
Some cookies are necessary for basic shopping functions, while others help us understand website performance, remember optional preferences, or measure advertising activity.
You can control non-essential cookies through the choices described in this policy.
2. Cookie Categories
Our cookie preference panel separates cookies into five categories.
Necessary Cookies
Necessary Cookies support essential website functions, including:
- Maintaining shopping sessions and shopping cart contents;
- Supporting customer account access and login;
- Processing checkout requests;
- Maintaining website security and helping prevent fraud;
- Remembering your cookie consent preferences.
These cookies remain active if you select "Reject All" because they support essential functions or services you request.
They cannot be disabled through our cookie preference panel, although you may block them through your browser settings.
Blocking Necessary Cookies may prevent shopping carts, account login, checkout, or certain website security features from working properly.
Advertising and optional analytics technologies are not classified as Necessary Cookies.
Functional Cookies
Functional Cookies support optional website features and remember preferences beyond those necessary for a service you directly request.
They may help remember certain browsing preferences or optional settings when you return to our website.
Functional Cookies are enabled only with your consent.
Declining Functional Cookies does not prevent you from browsing our pet clothing collections or placing an order, although some optional convenience features may be unavailable.
Analytics Cookies
Analytics Cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website.
Depending on the tools enabled, they may help us understand page visits, navigation patterns, product page interactions, and how visitors use website features.
This information can help us identify areas where product information, navigation, or the overall shopping experience could be improved.
Analytics Cookies are enabled only with your consent.
Performance Cookies
Performance Cookies help us identify technical issues affecting website functionality, such as slow page loading, responsiveness problems, and errors.
They support our efforts to maintain a reliable browsing and shopping experience.
Performance Cookies are enabled only with your consent.
Advertisement Cookies
Advertisement Cookies support advertising measurement, conversion attribution, audience analysis, campaign optimization, and remarketing.
These technologies may help us understand whether visitors interact with advertisements and subsequently browse products or complete purchases on our website.
Advertisement Cookies are enabled only with your consent.
Refusing Advertisement Cookies does not prevent you from browsing pet clothing, viewing product information, adding items to your cart, or placing an order.
A category appearing in our cookie preference panel does not necessarily mean that every technology associated with that category is active on pupmiette.com.
3. Advertising Technologies
Subject to your consent to the Advertisement Cookies category, advertising technologies such as advertising pixels and conversion tracking tags may be used where those integrations are active on our website.
These technologies can help measure advertising results, understand conversions, and support relevant advertising for our pet clothing and apparel collections.
Depending on the advertising integration and event involved, these technologies may process:
- IP address, browser, and device information;
- Online identifiers and cookie identifiers;
- Referral information;
- Website page visits and product views;
- Shopping cart and checkout activity;
- Purchase events, product information, order value, and transaction currency.
For example, advertising measurement may help us understand whether a visitor who interacted with an advertisement for dog clothing subsequently visited a product page or completed an eligible purchase.
An advertising technology remains in the Advertisement Cookies category even if it also produces measurement or performance reports.
Accepting Analytics Cookies alone does not authorize Advertisement Cookies.
Advertising providers may also process information under their own privacy notices and applicable terms.
We do not activate consent-dependent advertising tracking before the relevant consent has been provided.
4. Accepting or Rejecting Cookies
Before you make a choice, only Necessary Cookies are active on pupmiette.com. Non-essential cookies and tracking technologies remain disabled until you consent to the relevant category.
Our cookie banner offers three choices:
Accept All
Enable the non-essential cookie categories shown in the preference panel.
Reject All
Refuse all non-essential cookie categories while keeping Necessary Cookies active.
Customise
Review cookie categories separately, select which optional categories you wish to enable, and save your preferences.
Closing the cookie banner, scrolling through the website, continuing to browse, or leaving the banner unanswered does not count as consent.
You do not need to accept optional cookies to browse our pet clothing collections, view product information, check available sizes and colors, add items to your shopping cart, or place an order.
Your cookie choices can be changed later using the preference controls described in Section 6.
5. How Long We Save Your Choice
We use a cookie consent management tool to manage our cookie consent banner and record visitor preferences.
A necessary consent-preference cookie stores your cookie choices under our website domain.
Your saved cookie preference remains valid for 180 days, unless you delete the cookie sooner.
After that period, we ask you to make a new choice on your next visit.
You may also need to select your preferences again if you:
- Clear your browser cookies;
- Use a different browser;
- Visit from another device;
- Use a different browser profile.
The 180-day period applies to your saved cookie preference.
It does not mean that every cookie on our website lasts 180 days or that all personal information collected through cookies is retained for that period.
Individual cookies have their own expiration settings, and personal information retention is explained in our Privacy Policy.
6. Changing Choices and Withdrawing Consent
You can change your cookie preferences at any time.
To do so, reopen the cookie preference panel using the cookie settings control available on pupmiette.com.
From the preference panel, you can:
- Review available cookie categories;
- Enable or disable optional categories;
- Select "Reject All" to withdraw consent for non-essential cookies;
- Save your updated preferences.
Once you save a withdrawal of consent, we stop further consent-based tracking through the affected categories.
Necessary website functions remain active.
Withdrawing consent does not affect processing lawfully completed before the withdrawal, and it does not automatically erase information already collected.
You may remove cookies stored on your device through your browser controls.
To request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information held by us, where applicable, contact info@pupmiette.com as described in our Privacy Policy.
7. Cookie Expiry and Data Retention
A cookie's expiration period determines how long it remains stored in your browser.
This is separate from how long information previously collected through the cookie may be retained.
Session cookies generally expire when the relevant browsing session ends.
Persistent cookies expire according to their individual settings or when you delete them.
The expiration or deletion of a cookie does not automatically delete information that has already been received by us or an external service provider.
Different types of information may be retained for different periods depending on their purpose, applicable legal requirements, and the nature of the relevant service.
Our Privacy Policy explains our personal information retention practices and the procedures available for submitting privacy-related requests.
8. Browser Controls
Most web browsers allow you to view, delete, block, or restrict cookies.
You can usually manage these settings through your browser's privacy or security controls.
Browser settings apply separately to each browser and device.
Blocking all cookies may interfere with important shopping functions, including:
- Maintaining products in your shopping cart;
- Accessing a customer account;
- Keeping a shopping session active;
- Completing checkout;
- Supporting certain website security features.
If you want to refuse optional cookies while retaining essential shopping functions, we recommend using our cookie preference panel.
Clearing your browser cookies will also remove the cookie preference stored in that browser. You may need to make a new selection when you return.
9. Payments and External Websites
Our shopping cart, checkout, and customer account functions operate through pupmiette.com.
Certain payment, authentication, verification, or security steps may involve a service operated by an external provider.
Cookies set independently on an external provider's website are governed by that provider's own privacy and cookie practices.
Our cookie preference panel manages cookie choices on pupmiette.com and does not necessarily control cookies independently set by external websites.
We use appropriate payment processing arrangements to support customer transactions.
We do not store full payment card numbers, CVV/CVC security codes, or full financial account credentials.
We receive only the limited payment and transaction information needed to manage orders, confirm payment status, process eligible refunds, and handle related customer service requests, as explained in our Privacy Policy.
10. Email Marketing Is a Separate Choice
Cookie consent and newsletter subscriptions are separate choices.
Accepting cookies does not automatically subscribe you to promotional emails.
Rejecting Advertisement Cookies does not unsubscribe you from a newsletter you previously chose to receive.
Newsletter Subscription
Customers who voluntarily subscribe to our newsletter may receive product updates, shopping information, and promotional communications.
Our current newsletter benefit offers 10% off the first eligible order placed after a successful newsletter subscription, subject to our Promotional Terms.
This offer is available to both new and existing customers. Purchases made before subscribing do not affect eligibility.
The discount applies once to the first eligible order placed after subscribing and does not automatically apply to subsequent orders.
Eligibility for this discount depends on the newsletter subscription and the applicable promotional conditions, not on consent to optional advertising or analytics cookies.
You do not need to accept Advertisement Cookies, Analytics Cookies, or other optional cookies to subscribe to our newsletter or receive an eligible newsletter discount.
Unsubscribing
You can unsubscribe from promotional emails using the unsubscribe link included in the relevant email or by contacting info@pupmiette.com.
Unsubscribing from marketing emails does not automatically change your cookie preferences.
Similarly, withdrawing consent for optional cookies does not automatically cancel a newsletter subscription.
Unsubscribing does not prevent us from sending necessary transactional or customer service communications concerning:
- Order confirmations and payment information;
- Shipping and delivery updates;
- Order cancellations and modifications;
- Returns and exchanges;
- Refund notifications;
- Customer support inquiries.
These communications relate to purchases, transactions, or services you have requested and are separate from optional promotional emails.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when our website functions, cookie purposes, service providers, applicable legal requirements, or consent-management settings change.
The Effective Date shown at the top of this page identifies the current version.
Before introducing a new non-essential tracking purpose outside the scope of your existing choices, we will provide relevant information and request appropriate consent where required.
Publishing an updated Cookie Policy does not, by itself, authorize additional non-essential tracking.
We encourage you to review this page periodically to understand our current cookie practices and available privacy controls.
12. Company Information and Contact
If you have questions about this Cookie Policy, cookie preferences, or personal information associated with cookies, please contact us.
We respond to general privacy and cookie inquiries within 2 business days.
