Privacy & cookies
The short, honest version.
What we collect
When you let us, we measure how visitors use this site — which pages get read, which Listen buttons get tapped, and how the show grows. We also count the basics every website sees: rough location by country, device type, and the page that sent you here.
With analytics permission, we also count each browser once for a lifetime visitor total visible to the show team. We keep a random identifier in your browser and the date that identifier first visited; this counter does not store your name, email, or IP address. Clearing browser storage or visiting on another device may count you again.
Your choice
Visitors in regions where the law requires asking first see a cookie banner before any tracking loads. Saying no means nothing is sent — the measuring tools never even load. Everyone else can opt out any time with the "Cookie settings" link in the footer, and the change applies immediately.
Who receives the data
Measurement and advertising data goes to Google (Google Analytics and Google Ads, operated by Google Ireland Ltd. / Google LLC) and, when we run ads, to Meta Platforms. These companies act as independent controllers of the data they receive and have their own privacy policies. We never sell your information.
Forms you fill in
Dog of the Week submissions, guest pitches, and newsletter signups are stored so the show team can read and reply to them. They're only used for the show — never sold, never added to ad audiences.
How long we keep things
Analytics data follows the retention set in our Google Analytics property. Submissions and signups are kept while they're useful for the show; the team can delete them on request — email us any time.
The anonymous visitor count has no automatic expiry. Its browser identifier stays on your device until you clear it, and its counted entry remains until you request removal. To help us find your entry, contact us before clearing your browser storage. Declining analytics prevents a new count, but does not erase a past count automatically.
