This policy explains how eu.maxxipaws.com uses cookies and similar technologies, which ones we use and how you can change your choices. The site is run by AB Dotcom Ltd, trading as maxxipaws (“we”, “us”).
Cookies are small text files that a website saves on your device. Some websites also use scripts that store or read information in your browser in a similar way. This policy covers both.
When you first visit, we ask whether you agree to statistics and analytics cookies.
You can change your mind at any time by clicking Cookie settings. The same link is in the footer of every page. Withdrawing your consent is as easy as giving it. We ask you again after 6 months, or sooner if we start using a new kind of cookie.
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you block essential cookies, the basket, checkout and your account will not work.

We use Google Analytics to see how our shop is used: which pages and products are viewed, what is added to the basket, how far people get through the checkout, and which orders are placed (order number, products and value). Google Analytics also receives your browser and device type and an approximate location (country and city), which it works out from your IP address without storing the address itself. It does not receive your name, email address or delivery address. We don’t use Google Analytics for advertising and have switched off Google signals. Google keeps this data for 14 months. Google may process this data in the United States. Google LLC is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.

We use Google Consent Mode for Google Analytics. Until you choose, and if you reject analytics cookies, Google Analytics does not set or read cookies on our site. It may still send Google basic signals without cookies, such as that a page was viewed or an order was placed, which Google uses only to estimate totals without identifying you. We don’t use advertising cookies, so Google’s advertising storage is always switched off. You can read more in how Google uses information from sites that use its services.
We update this page whenever the cookies we use change. If you have any questions, email us at [email protected]. You can read more about how we handle your personal data, and your rights under the GDPR, in our Privacy Policy.
