At ViralDoggie (accessible from https://viraldoggie.com), the privacy of our readers is a paramount priority. This document outlines the types of information we collect, how we use it, and your statutory rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).
1. Information We Collect
When browsing our website, we may collect technical, non-personally identifiable log information (IP addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps) to analyze readership trends, administer the site, and improve user experience.
2. Cookies and Advertising Technologies (Google AdSense)
We use cookies to store user preferences and optimize site responsiveness. Our advertising partner, Google AdSense (and certified programmatic partners), uses cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) to serve ads based on prior visits to our site and other destinations across the web.
