This Cookie Policy explains how A&E Kennels LLC uses cookie files on aekennels.info. Cookies are small text files that a site stores on your device to remember choices or to understand how pages are used.
This policy covers the cookies used on this site. It does not cover cookies set by third-party sites you visit through links. If you are reading this page on a shared or work computer, the same choices apply in the browser you use here — you can change them at any time in that browser's settings, without needing an account on this site.

What cookies are
Cookies help a site function and help an operator understand aggregate use. Some cookies are needed for basic operation, such as remembering a privacy choice. Others help measure which pages are read so editorial coverage can be improved.
A cookie is not a program. Cookies do not contain malware, and they do not access files on your device beyond what your browser allows. When a site asks your browser to store a cookie, your browser decides whether to keep it, for how long, and whether to send it back on a later visit. That is why the same site can behave differently after you clear its cookies: the stored choice is gone, so the site starts from the default again.
You will also see the related term local storage in browser settings. It works in a similar way — it keeps small pieces of data on your device so a site can remember a setting between visits. On this site, choices such as a cookie preference may be kept in either form, and clearing site data in your browser removes both.
The ledger
Cookies we use
Two groups only. Nothing in this list is used to sell personal data or to run third-party advertising on editorial pages.
Essential cookies
Needed for the site to operate and stay secure.
Remembering your privacy choice
So the consent notice does not ask again on every page while your choice still stands.
Site operation and security
Basic browser and hosting checks that keep pages loading and help protect the service from misuse.
Reading preferences
Small settings you set yourself, such as a display choice, kept so the page returns the way you left it.
Analytics cookies
Used only where required, after consent, and read in aggregate.
Which guides are read
Page views across PC games and apps coverage, counted so we can see which topics readers actually use.
Where readers stop
Anonymous, aggregated signals about where a guide ends, which help us shorten or restructure long articles.
What analytics are not used for
They are not used to build profiles for other companies, and they are not shared for third-party advertising on editorial pages.
Your browser, your call
How to manage cookies
You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block cookies, delete existing cookies, or ask before a cookie is stored. The exact wording differs between Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge, but the path is usually Settings, then Privacy and security, then Cookies and site data.
If you block everything
Essential cookies blocked
Blocking essential cookies may affect how the site works. Your privacy choice may not be remembered, so the consent notice can appear again, and some display preferences will reset between visits. Editorial text itself stays readable.
If you block analytics only
Analytics cookies blocked
Blocking analytics cookies will reduce the data we receive, and the site should still be readable. Guides, release coverage, and performance notes load the same way; we simply see less about which pages are read.
Deleting cookies is separate from blocking them. Deleting removes what is already stored on your device. Blocking stops new ones from being stored. Many browsers let you do both, and you can also clear site data for one domain — aekennels.info — without clearing it for every site you visit.
Choices
Consent and choices
Where required, we ask for consent before non-essential cookies are used. That means analytics cookies stay off until you choose to allow them. If you accept, the choice is stored so later pages on this site respect it.
You may withdraw consent by changing browser settings or by contacting us at [email protected]. Withdrawal does not affect processing that already happened before the change. We will note your choice in line with the browser controls available to you, so a later visit should not quietly re-enable what you turned off.
Third-party services
Some services that help operate the site may set their own cookies, such as hosting or security providers. Those services process data under their own policies. We choose providers with clear privacy terms and limit data sharing to what operation requires.
Links to other sites may lead to pages with their own cookie practices. Once you leave aekennels.info, the cookies a destination sets are governed by that destination's policy, not this one. If a service we link to sets cookies before you click, that is a sign to check its own privacy notice.
Keeping this current
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when our use of cookies changes. The current version will be published on this page. Material changes will be noted here so readers can review them.
A change that only rewords a sentence may not be marked as material. A change that adds a new kind of cookie, a new provider, or a new purpose for data we already collect will be. The date at the top of this page is the date of the current version.
