Privacy Policy
Old Paws Tales (“we”, “us”) operates the website oldpawstales.com (the “Site”). This policy explains what information we collect when you visit the Site, how we use it, and the choices you have.
Information we collect
Information you give us. If you contact us by email, we receive your email address and the contents of your message. We use it only to reply to you.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our hosting provider may record standard server log data (such as your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and the time of your visit) for security and maintenance purposes.
Cookies
The Site itself is a simple static website and does not set first-party tracking cookies. However, third-party services described below — in particular advertising partners — may use cookies and similar technologies when their content is served on our pages.
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. Disabling cookies will not prevent you from reading our stories.

- Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. Alternatively, users can opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info/choices.
We do not control the cookies used by third-party advertisers. Their collection and use of information is governed by their own privacy policies.
