Privacy & cookies

What Petbook collects, and what you can turn off.

Always on

A sign-in cookie so you stay logged in, and the data you give us directly — your name, your pets, your posts and comments. Without these the site can't work.

Only if you accept

  • Google Analytics — which pages are visited, so we know what's useful.
  • Meta (Facebook) Pixel — tells us when an ad led to someone joining.
  • Google AdSense — the ads on our article pages, and the cookies Google uses to choose and measure them.

None of these load until you choose Accept. If you decline, they are never loaded at all. Your current choice, and the button to change it, is at the bottom of this page.

Turning tracking off applies from your next page load — scripts already running in this tab can't be taken back.

Photos

Hidden location data (GPS coordinates, camera details and timestamps) is stripped from every photo when you upload it, so sharing a picture of your pet at home doesn't share where home is.

Children

You must be 16 or older to have a Petbook account, and we don't knowingly collect anything from anyone under 16. If you're a parent and an account here belongs to your child, email hello@petbook.today and we'll delete it.

Taking a break

You can archive your account from Account at any time: your profile, pets and posts are hidden from everyone, nothing is deleted, and logging back in restores it. What we ask of you, and what we owe you on an order, is in our terms.
