Privacy Policy

Last updated: 1 November 2026

This policy explains what Dog-Name.net (“we”, “us”) collects when you visit the site, why it is collected, and which other companies receive data. It covers the website at dog-name.net only. Links to other sites are governed by those sites' own policies.

What we collect

• Server logs. Our hosting infrastructure records the requested URL, the time of the request, the referring page, an approximate location derived from the IP address, and the browser and operating system in the user-agent string. These logs are used to serve pages, diagnose faults and defend against abuse.
• Aggregate analytics. We use Google Analytics 4 to count visits and see which pages and categories are used. Reports are read in aggregate; we do not use them to identify individual readers.
• Local storage. The site stores a small cache of category data in your browser's local storage so pages load without refetching the same list. It contains no personal information and can be cleared from your browser settings at any time.
• Advertising data. Advertising partners may set cookies or read device identifiers to select and measure ads, as described below.

We do not offer user accounts, comments or a newsletter, and we do not ask you to submit a name, email address or payment details to read the site.

Third parties that load on this site

The following services are requested directly by pages on this site. Their own privacy policies apply to the data they receive.

• Google Analytics 4 — loaded from www.googletagmanager.com and google-analytics.com, measurement ID G-XWNB0QG7BB. Sets analytics cookies such as _ga and _ga_*.
• Google AdSense — loaded from pagead2.googlesyndication.com, publisher ID ca-pub-7186551119096275. May set advertising and measurement cookies and may use your IP address and approximate location to select ads.
• Adsterra advertising network — native banner and social-bar scripts loaded from pl31024779.profitableratecpmnetwork.com and pl31024780.profitableratecpmnetwork.com. These scripts may set cookies or device identifiers and may load further creatives from the network.
• Traffic measurement — a script loaded from traffic-mesh.luandungames.workers.dev, used to count page views and referral sources.
• Cloudflare — the site is served through Cloudflare, which may inject its web-analytics beacon from static.cloudflareinsights.com and may set security cookies such as __cf_bm for bot management. These are operated by Cloudflare as our CDN and security provider.

These analytics and advertising scripts load by default when you open a page; we do not put them behind a consent wall. You can stop them with a content blocker, by blocking third-party scripts or cookies in your browser, or by sending the Global Privacy Control (GPC) or Do Not Track (DNT) signal where your browser and the third party honour it. Blocking scripts does not prevent you from reading any page on the site.

Why we process data and how long we keep it

Server logs are processed to operate and secure the site, which is our legitimate interest as the operator. Analytics is used to understand which parts of the library are useful. Where local law requires consent for analytics or advertising cookies, that consent is obtained by the third party named above or is not required for the strictly necessary parts of the service. Raw server logs are kept for a short operational window and then deleted or aggregated. Analytics and advertising retention is set by the providers in their own policies.

Sharing

We do not sell personal information. Data is shared with the service providers listed above so that they can deliver analytics and advertising, and with our hosting provider so that pages can be served. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect the site from abuse. Some providers process data outside your country, including in the United States; they rely on their own transfer mechanisms.

Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to ask what personal data is held about you, to request a copy, correction or deletion, to object to processing, or to withdraw consent. Because we do not run accounts, we often hold no record that identifies you individually; in that case we will explain what we can and cannot locate. You can also use the browser controls described above. Requests can be sent to [email protected]. You may complain to your local data protection authority.

Children

The site is a general-audience reference and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

Changes

When the services that load on the site change, this page is updated and the date at the top changes. Continued use of the site after an update means the revised policy applies.
