Our practices comply with the California Privacy Act (CCPA), California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and similar privacy legislation across various states, ensuring your data is handled with the utmost care and in legal compliance. Our activities are tailored to align with U.S. privacy regulations, emphasizing our dedication to legal adherence and data protection.
Use of Cookies
The Vetcetera Web site use “cookies” to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize Vetcetera pages, or register with Vetcetera site or services, a cookie helps Vetcetera to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same Vetcetera Web site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the Vetcetera features that you customized.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the Vetcetera services or Web sites you visit.
