This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which ones raisingagooddog.com uses, and how you can control them. We rely on cookies to keep the site running smoothly, remember your preferences while you browse our crate-building guides and recall training tips, and understand how visitors use our content. By continuing to browse this site, you agree to the use of cookies as described below, alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your computer, phone, or tablet when you visit it. They allow the site to recognize your device on future visits, remember choices you have made, and collect information about how you interact with the pages. Cookies do not harm your device and cannot access files or programs stored on it. They simply store small pieces of data, such as a session ID or a language preference.
Like most websites, raisingagooddog.com uses several categories of cookies. Not every cookie serves the same purpose, so here is a breakdown of what you might encounter while reading our DIY dog furniture tutorials or training guides.
These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. They enable core features such as page navigation, secure access to certain areas, and basic site security. Without these cookies, parts of the site may not work as intended. Because they are strictly necessary, they cannot be switched off through our cookie settings, though you can block them via your browser (with the risk of breaking site functionality).
Preference cookies remember choices you have made, such as your preferred display settings or whether you have already dismissed a notice. They help make repeat visits more convenient, for example when you return to finish reading a guide like our wooden crate nightstand build steps.
We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors find and use our site — which articles are most popular, how long people stay, and which pages might need improvement. This data is aggregated and anonymized where possible, and it helps us decide what new content to create, whether that is more recall training games or new furniture projects.
Some pages on raisingagooddog.com contain affiliate links to products we recommend, such as crate-building materials or training tools. Marketing and affiliate cookies track clicks on these links so that our partners can attribute a sale or action to our site. This is part of how we may earn a commission, as explained further in our Affiliate Disclaimer and Disclosure pages. These cookies do not give us access to your payment information.
Some cookies on our site are placed by third-party services we use, including advertising networks, analytics providers, affiliate programs, and embedded content such as Pinterest pins referenced in our Pinterest Disclaimer. These third parties may collect information about your browsing activity across different websites, not just ours. We do not control how these third parties use their cookies, so we encourage you to review their own privacy and cookie policies for full details.
When you first visit raisingagooddog.com, you may see a cookie banner or notice asking for your consent to non-essential cookies. By clicking „accept,“ continuing to browse, or interacting with the site after being shown the notice, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this policy. You can withdraw or adjust your consent at any time by changing your browser settings or, where available, using any cookie preference tool provided on the site.
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings menu. You can typically choose to:
Because the exact steps vary by browser, we recommend checking your browser's help section (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and others each have their own instructions). Keep in mind that blocking or deleting cookies may affect how well certain parts of raisingagooddog.com work, including saved preferences or embedded content.
Cookies remain on your device for varying lengths of time depending on their type. Session cookies are deleted automatically once you close your browser. Persistent cookies, used for things like remembering preferences or tracking analytics over time, can remain for weeks, months, or longer, until they expire or you delete them manually. We aim to keep retention periods reasonable and limited to what is necessary for the purpose of each cookie.
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, legal requirements, or improvements to our site. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. We encourage you to check back periodically, especially if you have concerns about privacy. For more on how we handle your personal information generally, please see our Privacy Policy, and for details on site content standards, our Editorial Policy may also be helpful.
