We’re glad you’re here, and we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy will help you understand how we handle your data so you can enjoy our content with peace of mind. Here’s a breakdown of what we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your information.
Information We Collect
Personal Information:
If you choose to share your email and name with us, we’ll use it to respond to your inquiries, provide updates, and deliver relevant information. We only request the data we need and respect your communication preferences.
Comments:
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you’re using it. The Gravatar service’s privacy policy is available here. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture (if using Gravatar) is publicly visible alongside your comment.
Media:
If you upload images to the website, please avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the site.
Cookies and Similar Technologies:
To enhance your experience, Petbeon uses cookies and similar technologies to understand your preferences and interactions with our site. If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies for convenience, so you don’t have to re-enter details for future comments. These cookies last for one year.
Additionally:
- When you visit our login page, a temporary cookie is set to determine if your browser accepts cookies; it contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
- After logging in, several cookies save your login details and screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, screen options cookies for one year, and selecting “Remember Me” extends login persistence to two weeks.
- If you log out or edit/publish an article, specific cookies manage these actions with no personal data and expire after short intervals.

We may automatically collect information that browsers and devices provide, such as IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, and visit timestamps. This data helps us improve the website and provide a more personalized experience.
Embedded Content from Other Websites:
Articles on our site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). This embedded content behaves as if you visited the originating website, which may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that content, especially if you have an account and are logged into that website.

Sharing and Disclosure of Your Information
We value your privacy and do not sell, trade, or share your personal information with third parties, except in specific instances necessary for fulfilling services (e.g., processing payments). Your data is treated with the utmost care and is protected to maintain your trust.
Third-Party Advertisements:
To support our site, we may work with third-party advertisers, such as Google AdSense, which may use cookies and web beacons. These technologies help advertisers provide content based on your interests and browsing behavior, without identifying personal details. You can manage your preferences and opt out of personalized advertising by adjusting your settings.
DoubleClick DART Cookies:
Petbeon may use DART cookies for ad serving through Google’s DoubleClick network, which places a cookie on your device when you visit a website using DoubleClick ads.

Website administrators also have access to and can edit this information.
Data Security:
We take data security seriously, employing industry-standard practices to safeguard your information against unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. While no online service can guarantee absolute security, we continually enhance our measures to keep your data safe.
