Cookie Policy

Last Updated: May 22, 2026

Welcome to Pup Hut. To make this site work properly, and to provide the most relevant products and services to our site visitors and shoppers, we place small data files called cookies on your device.

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them on our Squarespace-hosted e-commerce site, and how you can manage your preferences.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognize your device and store certain information about your preferences or past actions.

First-Party Cookies: Cookies set by the website you are visiting (in this case, our site).
Third-Party Cookies: Cookies set by a domain other than the one you are visiting (such as Google Analytics or payment processors).
Session Cookies: Temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser.
Persistent Cookies: Cookies that remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.

2. How Squarespace Uses Cookies

As a website hosted on Squarespace, we use cookies for two main purposes: to ensure our website functions correctly and safely, and to learn how visitors use our site so we can improve the shopping experience.

Squarespace categorizes these cookies into two main groups:

A. Functional and Required Cookies

These cookies are essential because they allow you to navigate our site and use key features, such as our shopping cart and checkout. Without these cookies, the core functionality of our online store would break.

Examples of functional cookies Squarespace uses include:

Cart and Checkout: Remembers the items you add to your shopping cart as you browse.
Security: Authenticates users, prevents fraudulent use of login credentials, and protects user data from unauthorized parties.
User Preferences: Remembers your preferences (like language or currency choice) to customize your experience.

B. Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies collect information about how you interact with our site. We use this data entirely in an aggregate, anonymized way to understand traffic patterns and help us improve our website's performance.

Examples of what these cookies track:

Which pages are visited most frequently.
How long visitors stay on a page.
If visitors encounter error messages.
Referral sources (how you found our website).

4. Controlling and Managing Cookies

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies.

Using Our Cookie Banner

When you first visit our site, you will see a cookie consent banner. You can choose to accept all cookies, or opt out of analytics and performance cookies by selecting your preferences. Functional cookies cannot be disabled because the site cannot operate without them.

Adjusting Browser Settings

You can also set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies via your browser, you may still use our website, though your access to some functionality and areas of our site may be restricted (for example, you may experience issues keeping items in your shopping cart).

5. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please re-visit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
