Cookies and tracking technologies
PuppySettled uses cookies — small files stored on your device — for things like remembering your preferences, understanding site traffic through analytics, and serving ads. You can set your browser to block or delete cookies; some site features may not work as well if you do.
Advertising and affiliate links
PuppySettled participates in affiliate programs, including the Amazon Associates Program and the Chewy affiliate program. This means some links on the site are affiliate links — if you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. See our Affiliate Disclosure for details.
We may also display ads through third-party advertising networks (such as Google AdSense, Ezoic, or Mediavine). These networks may use cookies and similar technologies to show ads based on your visits to this and other websites. You can learn more about interest-based advertising and opt out through the Digital Advertising Alliance or NAI.
Third-party services
We use third-party services to run the site, including:
- Analytics providers (such as Google Analytics), to understand site traffic
- Email service providers, to send the newsletter or checklist you request
- Advertising networks, as described above
These providers have their own privacy policies governing how they handle your data, and we encourage you to review them.

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you
- Request correction or deletion of your information
- Object to or restrict certain processing
- Withdraw consent (for example, unsubscribe from emails at any time via the link in every email)

Children’s privacy
PuppySettled is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we’ll remove it.
Data retention and security
We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law. We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information, though no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date. Continued use of the site after changes are posted means you accept the updated policy.
