Collection and Methods of Information Gathering

Every computer connected to the Internet is assigned a domain name and an Internet Protocol (IP) address. When a visitor accesses any webpage within the Emergency Veterinary Care Centers network, our web servers automatically identify the visitor's domain name and IP address. This information is used for traffic analysis and to address any misuse of our network or non-compliance with the law. Please refer to the section titled "Disclosure of Collected Information to Third Parties" for further details.

Cookies

Emergency Veterinary Care Centers may occasionally send a small data file, known as a "cookie," to your computer. A cookie is stored on your computer's hard drive and is transmitted from a web server to your internet browser. It cannot read data from your hard disk or access cookies from other websites. Cookies help us identify the areas of the Emergency Veterinary Care Centers network that you have visited, making it easier for you to access those pages during subsequent visits. Additionally, cookies may be used to track the number of times you have encountered an advertisement.

We do not share or sell your credit card details or other personal information with any third parties. Some Emergency Veterinary Care Centers properties utilize a secure shopping cart feature with SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption, ensuring the confidentiality of your information during transmission. However, certain properties may not employ SSL encryption, thus lacking a secure coded transfer method.
