Cookie Policy

Last updated: Aug 25, 2025

Applied to: United States

(This version replaces all prior versions)


This Cookie Policy explains how Pet Awesome (EPACIFIC LLC) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies—such as tracking pixels, web beacons, and SDKs—on our website, www.pet-awesome.com (the “Site”).

 

Some of these technologies may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information under California law. We apply California privacy rights (such as the right to opt out of such “sales” or “sharing”) to all U.S. customers, regardless of where you reside.

 

For more details about how we collect, use, and protect personal information—and to understand your rights—please see our Privacy Policy.

 

1. WHAT ARE COOKIES?

 

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-connected devices when you visit a website. They help websites recognize your device, remember your preferences, and enhance your overall user experience.

 

For purposes of this Policy, “cookies” also include similar tracking technologies such as pixels, tags, beacons, and SDKs, which function in a comparable way.

 

Cookies can be:

  • Session cookies: Temporary cookies that expire once you close your browser.
  • Persistent cookies: Cookies that remain on your device until their set expiration date or until you delete them, whichever comes first.

 

They may also be:

  • First-party cookies: Set directly by the website you’re visiting.
  • Third-party cookies: Set by services integrated into the site (e.g., analytics providers, advertising networks, social media platforms). In some cases, the use of third-party cookies for advertising, analytics, or tracking across sites may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information under California law.

 

2. TYPES OF COOKIES WE USE


We use the following categories of cookies and similar tracking technologies on our Site. Each may be session-based (expire once you close your browser) or persistent (remain until their set expiration date or until you delete them).


a) Strictly Necessary Cookies

 

These cookies are essential for the proper functioning of our Site and cannot be turned off in our system. They are usually only set in response to actions you take, such as:

  • Logging in to your account.
  • Remembering your cart.
  • Securing checkout processes.

 

Without these cookies, key parts of the Site may not function.


b) Performance and Analytics Cookies

 

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our Site, such as:

  • Pages visited.
  • Time spent on pages.
  • Click tracking and navigation paths.
  • Site errors or performance issues.
  • Aggregated usage statistics.

 

We use tools like Google Analytics to understand and improve our Site’s performance. While primarily used to improve functionality, some analytics data may also be aggregated for marketing performance analysis. These may be session or persistent cookies.


c) Functional Cookies

 

These cookies allow our Site to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers, such as:

  • Remembering login credentials.
  • Saving user references (e.g. language or region).

 

If you disable these cookies, certain features of the Site may not function as intended. Functional cookies are generally persistent until you remove them.


d) Targeting and Advertising Cookies

 

These cookies may be set through our Site by advertising partners, such as Meta (Facebook/Instagram) or Google Ads. They:

  • Deliver relevant ads based on your interest.
  • Limit the number of times you see an ad.
  • Help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.


Under California law, the use of certain Targeting/Advertising cookies - and in some cases Analytics cookies - may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information. For this reason, U.S. customers have the right to opt out of such practices.

4. THIRD-PARTY COOKIES
