This cookie policy explains how Petmonik (https://petmonik.com) uses cookies and similar technologies, and how you can control them. For more about how we handle personal information, see our privacy policy.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit. They let the site remember your actions and preferences, and help site owners and their partners understand how the site is used and show relevant advertising. Similar technologies, such as local storage and pixels, work in a comparable way; in this policy we call them all “cookies”.
Cookies set by Petmonik are “first-party” cookies. Cookies set by other companies, such as Google, are “third-party” cookies.

Affiliate and embedded content
If we add affiliate links in the future, retailers you visit through them may set their own cookies to record that you came from Petmonik. Embedded content, such as YouTube videos, may also set cookies. These cookies are controlled by those companies and covered by their own policies.
Managing your cookie choices
- Consent banner: if you visit from the EEA, UK or Switzerland, you can accept or reject analytics and advertising cookies in our consent banner, and change your choice at any time using the privacy and cookie settings link on our site.
