Cookie Policy

Last Updated: September 8, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Dogs Barcelona ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website dogsbarcelona.com. This policy works in conjunction with our Privacy Policy to ensure your personal data is handled transparently and in compliance with EU regulations.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your browser or device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, improve your browsing experience, and provide analytical data to website owners.

2. How We Use Cookies

Dogs Barcelona uses cookies to understand how you interact with our content, keep our webshop running smoothly, and deliver relevant advertisements. We use the following categories of cookies:

Essential / Necessary Cookies: These cookies are strictly required to enable core site functionality. For example, they allow our automated webshop checkout pipeline to remember what items are in your cart and keep your session secure while you complete a purchase.
Performance & Analytics Cookies: We use tools like Google Analytics to collect anonymous data about how visitors navigate our site. This helps us see which guides (like our dog beach updates or metro rules) are performing best so we can continue improving our community resources.
Advertising & Marketing Cookies: We partner with third-party networks, including Google AdSense, to display relevant ads on our website. These cookies track your browsing habits across the internet to serve targeted promotions based on your interests, and ensure you do not see the same advertisement repeatedly.

3. Google AdSense & The DoubleClick Cookie

Google, as a third-party vendor, uses tracking cookies (specifically the DoubleClick DART cookie) to serve advertisements on our site. Google’s use of these cookies enables it to serve ads to our community members based on their visits to Dogs Barcelona and other destinations across the web.

4. Your Choices and Managing Cookies

You have the absolute right to choose whether to accept or decline cookies.

Cookie Consent Banner: When you first visit our site, a pop-up consent banner allows you to accept or decline non-essential marketing and analytics cookies.
Browser Settings: You can configure or change your web browser's settings to accept or refuse cookies at any time. If you choose to completely reject cookies, you can still use our website, though some areas (like our webshop checkout) may experience technical limitations.
Opting Out of Targeted Ads: To opt out of Google’s personalized advertising infrastructure entirely, you can adjust your global settings by visiting the Google Ad Settings page.
