This Cookie Policy explains how Developing Veterinary Medicine Careers ("we," "us," o "our") and our website platform provider, including Squarespace, use cookies and similar technologies on our website located at www.dvmcpartners.org ("Site").  We may also use third-party service providers, including SquareSpace (https://www.squarespace.com), analytics providers, and embedded content providers that use cookies and related technologies in connection with the Site.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small pieces of text stored on your device when you visit a website. They help enhance site functionality, analyze performance, personalize your experience, and enable certain features on the Site.

Cookies and similar technologies, such as pixels and local storage technologies, help websites function properly, analyze performance, personalize user experiences, remember preferences, and enable certain features and services. Some cookies expire when you close your browser, while others remain on your device for a longer period.

Types of Cookies We Use:

1. Essential (Necessary) Cookies

These cookies are required for the Site to function properly. They enable core features like navigation, form submissions, and secure access.  These cookies may be used without consent where permitted by applicable law because they are necessary for operation of the Site.

2. Analytics & Performance Cookies

These help us understand how visitors use the Site (e.g., page views, traffic sources, and session data). They allow us to improve performance and usability.

3.  Functional Cookies

These cookies allow the Site to remember choices you make (such as language preferences or other settings) to provide a more personalized experience.

4. Third-Party Cookies

Some features (like embedded videos, maps, or social sharing) may use cookies from third parties. These third parties may collect information according to their own privacy and cookie policies.

Third-Party Analytics and Tools

We may use third-party services, such as Google Analytics or Meta Pixel, to better understand how visitors interact with our Site. These services may set their own cookies to collect information about your use of our Site and other websites. We use this information to analyze trends, improve the Site, tailor content, and understand user engagement.

Information collected through cookies may be shared with our service providers and analytics partners in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Depending on your location and applicable laws (e.g., GDPR, CCPA), we may require your consent to use certain types of cookies, especially non-essential ones. When necessary, we display a cookie banner that allows you to:

• Accept all cookies

• Reject non-essential cookies

• Manage cookie preferences

Visitors may modify or withdraw consent at any time through available cookie settings or browser controls.

How to Control Cookies

You can control cookies through your browser settings:

• Change preferences via cookie banner: If available, you can update your choices in our banner or footer settings.

• Third-party opt-outs: For advertising or tracking cookies, you may need to visit the third-party provider’s opt-out options.

Please note that disabling cookies may affect Site functionality and performance.

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” feature.  Because there is no consistent industry standard for responding to these signals, our Site may not respond to them.
