Analytics information

Canine Gear Digest operates this website at caninegeardigest.com. Effective date: July 23, 2026, the day analytics collection started here.

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand website traffic, popular pages, referral sources, and use of outbound links. It may collect page URLs and titles, referring websites, approximate location, general browser or device information, page-view events, and external-link events using first-party cookies including _ga. We configure Google Analytics to remove email addresses and specified sensitive query parameters before collection. Personal information should not be entered in URLs.

Our configuration does not use advertising features, Google Signals, User-ID, fingerprinting, or measurement across domains. Google Analytics keeps event-level data for two months. Event data may be exported to a private analytics warehouse in the United States and retained without automatic expiration for backup, audit, and historical analysis. Warehouse access is limited, and broader reports omit cookie/session identifiers, query strings, and full destination URLs.

You may disable or delete cookies through your browser settings. The Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on can also prevent Google Analytics from measuring your visits. These controls do not reverse processing that has already taken place.

Visits from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland load the Google tag with analytics and advertising storage consent set to denied. That regional default is applied by Google's own tag, so no analytics cookie or advertising identifier is stored for those visits and no choice is requested from you.

Cloudflare Web Analytics is also used for general traffic and performance measurement. According to Cloudflare, it does not rely on cookies or local storage and it discards visitor IP addresses. Read more in Cloudflare's description of Web Analytics data.
