Tracking technologies and storage controls operate under explicit consent signals.
This document sets out how Puptown Lounge uses local storage, session memory, and platform measurement identifiers across client browsing sessions, detailing exact retention schedules and Consent Mode v2 parameters.
Effective Date and Operational Governance
Clause 01This Cookie Policy took effect on 2026-10-13 and governs the website operated by Puptownloungezone, trading at puptownloungezone.com. We operate our physical headquarters at 2910 Scioto Darby Executive Ct, Hilliard, Ohio 43026, Hilliard, Ohio, United States.
Our tracking and client-side storage architecture does not rely on obscure background scripts. Every browser key, session token, and external measurement parameter complies with applicable United States privacy statutes, including the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the CPRA, other enacted state privacy frameworks, and the General Data Protection Regulation for visitors connecting from the European Union. Visitors retain the right to direct complaints concerning tracking storage to their state Attorney General, and in California to the California Privacy Protection Agency.
Storage Categories and Functional Scopes
Clause 02We categorize client browser storage into three precise operational divisions. We do not blend essential site utilities with analytical tracking tags:
- Strictly Necessary Storage: Essential for rendering security, handling reservation form submissions via zosi8b5.php, preserving your explicit consent decision, and maintaining the real-time kennel desk chat thread via wola0ba.php. These cannot be disabled as the site cannot function without them.
- Measurement and Analytics: Aggregates page request volumes, scroll telemetry, and session duration so our boarding pricing ledgers and intake forms load quickly across desktop and mobile devices.
- Advertising and Campaign Attribution: Evaluates paid incoming clicks from Google Ads, Microsoft Advertising, and Meta Ads to monitor campaign conversions for dog boarding and grooming bookings in Columbus.

Paid Advertising Platforms and Campaign Click Identifiers
Clause 04Puptown Lounge currently conducts commercial advertising campaigns. We acquire direct prospective client traffic across search and social channels to promote our Hilliard boarding suites, Anna's grooming house, and all-inclusive dog daycare services.
When visitors arrive through paid placements, incoming query strings transmit standardized network click parameters into our site environment. We specifically process:
- gclid: The Google Click Identifier transmitted by google ads campaigns to correlate search queries with booking inquiries.
- msclkid: The Microsoft Click ID generated by Microsoft Advertising to attribute visits originating from Bing and associated syndication surfaces.
- fbclid: The Meta Click Identifier appended by Meta Ads when prospective pet owners follow promotional posts on Facebook or Instagram.
These identifiers allow our systems to measure whether ad spending converts into real intake messages submitted to zosi8b5.php. Neither Google, Microsoft, nor Meta has reviewed, approved, or verified our canine facilities, and no statement on this website claims endorsement by these technology vendors.
Google Consent Mode v2 Signal Architecture
Clause 05Our website enforces Google consent mode v2 directly across the client DOM before any external script executes. When you first arrive at puptownloungezone.com, the platform establishes default baseline states where the four core consent signals are strictly held as denied:
ad_storage: Denied by default. Blocks writing or reading cookies dedicated to advertising storage until you grant permission.ad_user_data: Denied by default. Prohibits transmitting end-user personal attributes to Google for advertising purposes.ad_personalization: Denied by default. Disables remarketing and tailored demographic audience compilation.analytics_storage: Denied by default. Restricts statistical tracking cookies and measurement beacons until accepted.
Only when you click "Accept Storage" in our consent banner or modal are these four parameters transitioned to granted. If you decline or subsequently revoke consent, every signal is reverted to denied immediately, clearing active tracking contexts for the remainder of your browsing session.
Granting, Modifying, and Withdrawing Consent
Clause 06Consent is granted exclusively through an affirmative user interaction with the persistent consent banner docked at the base of our viewports. We do not infer consent from passive scrolling, clicking arbitrary navigation links, or remaining idle on a page.
You retain complete authority to revise or withdraw your storage preferences at any time. To modify your decision:
- Click the Consent Settings button situated in the footer legal bar of every page on this website.
- Activate the button to redisplay the consent interface, where you can select "Decline" or "Accept Storage".
- Your updated status is recorded instantly into the
site_consent_v2key in your local browser storage.
Additionally, our site respects the Global Privacy Control signal (Sec-GPC header). When your browser broadcasts a valid GPC header, our scripts automatically treat it as a universal opt-out for marketing identifiers and advertising storage without requiring manual prompts.
Technical Impact of Declining Non-Essential Storage
Clause 07Declining optional cookies and advertising identifiers does not restrict your access to core kennel services, boarding specifications, or communication channels.
When you decline storage:
- What continues to function normally: You can read all rate schedules, review weight-tiered boarding ledgers, inspect grooming package specifications, calculate stay costs with our sizing calculator, submit inquiry reservations through zosi8b5.php, and initiate real-time conversations with our Hilliard kennel desk via wola0ba.php.
- What is disabled: Third-party tracking scripts cannot persist unique ad identifiers across your sessions, campaign attribution parameters (gclid, msclkid, fbclid) are not stored for ad optimization, and aggregated cross-site browsing telemetry is entirely blocked.
Third-Party Privacy Disclosures and Documentation
Clause 08Where tracking tags or conversion scripts interact with external technology providers, data processing is subject to their independent corporate privacy frameworks. We direct all visitors to review the following official resources:
- Microsoft Advertising: Microsoft Ireland Operations Ltd handles campaign measurement under terms accessible at the Microsoft privacy statement published at privacy.microsoft.com.
- Google Ads & Analytics: Google LLC and Google Ireland Ltd process measurement signals and click parameters pursuant to policies set out at policies.google.com.
