SEAACA Web Cookies Information for Website
Last updated: 6/15/2016
This Cookie Policy explains how the Southeast Area Animal Control Authority ("SEAACA," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website at https://seaaca.org (the "Website"). It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and the choices you have, including your rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA).
This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which describes how we collect, use, and disclose personal information more generally. In some cases we may use cookies to collect information that becomes personal information when combined with other information.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to make them work more efficiently, and to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by us are called first-party cookies . Cookies set by a party other than us are called third-party cookies . Third-party cookies enable features or functionality to be provided on or through the Website, such as analytics and translation. We also use related technologies such as pixels and web beacons, described in Section 6; in this policy we refer to all of these collectively as "cookies."
2. Why we use cookies
We use first- and third-party cookies for the following purposes:
- Strictly necessary — required for the Website to operate and remain secure. These cannot be switched off in our systems.
- Functional — to remember choices you make, such as your preferred language.
- Performance and analytics — to understand how visitors use the Website so we can measure and improve its performance.
We do not use cookies to serve targeted advertising or for cross-context behavioral advertising.
3. Cookies we use
The cookies served on the Website and the purposes they perform are described below. Specific cookies may vary, and names and lifespans may change as providers update their products.

Performance and analytics cookies (Google Analytics)
We use Google Analytics , a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to collect information about how visitors use the Website (such as pages visited, time on site, and referring source). This information is used in aggregate to improve the Website.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga | Distinguishes unique users by assigning a randomly generated identifier. | 2 years | |
_ga_[MEASUREMENT-ID] | Persists session state for Google Analytics 4. | 2 years |
Information collected by Google Analytics is processed in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy. You can opt out of Google Analytics across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
4. How long cookies stay on your device
Cookies are either session cookies , which are deleted when you close your browser, or persistent cookies , which remain until they expire or you delete them. The expiration period for each cookie is listed in the tables above.
5. How to control cookies
Cookie banner. When you first visit the Website, our cookie banner lets you accept or decline non-essential (analytics) cookies. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be declined because the Website cannot function without them. You can change your choice at any time using the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer.
Browser settings. Most browsers let you refuse or delete cookies through their settings. Because the steps vary by browser, check your browser's help menu — Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Firefox, Safari, and Opera all provide instructions. If you block strictly necessary cookies, parts of the Website may not function properly.
Google Analytics opt-out. Install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
6. Other tracking technologies (web beacons)
Cookies are not the only way to recognize visitors. We may also use web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs") — tiny graphics files with a unique identifier that let us understand site traffic patterns and measure performance. These technologies often rely on cookies to function, so declining cookies will limit them.
7. Your California privacy rights (CCPA / CPRA)
If you are a California resident, you have specific rights regarding the personal information we collect, including through cookies. The CCPA, as amended by the CPRA, gives you the right to:
- Know what personal information we collect, use, and disclose.
- Delete personal information we have collected from you, subject to exceptions.
- Correct inaccurate personal information.
- Opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of your personal information.
- Limit the use of sensitive personal information.
- Non-discrimination — we will not deny services or charge a different price for exercising your rights.
"Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information"
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.
Global Privacy Control (GPC)
We honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC), a browser-based signal communicating your choice to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. When we detect a GPC signal, we treat it as a valid opt-out for that browser or device and do not load non-essential analytics cookies.
