6. Cookies We Place
Our website places only functional cookies. Below is a complete overview of every cookie we place.

Affiliate partner tracking (amazon.nl & bol.com)
Our blog and recommendation pages may contain affiliate links to amazon.nl and bol.com. When you click one of these links, you are redirected to the respective partner platform. Happy Puppies does not place any cookies through these links. However, the partner platforms may set their own tracking cookies on their own domains (amazon.nl and bol.com). These cookies are placed and managed by those platforms, not by Happy Puppies, and fall outside the scope of this cookie policy. Please refer to the respective privacy and cookie policies of Amazon and bol.com for full details.
