Privacy Policy

Last Updated: March 17, 2026

At Arfinad, we respect your privacy. This page explains what information we collect, why we collect it, and how we use it. We’ve written it in plain, simple language — because privacy policies shouldn’t require a law degree to understand.

Who We Are

Arfinad (arfinad.com) is a dog training blog for first-time dog owners. We publish free guides and tips to help you train your dog and handle frustrating behaviours like barking, biting, and leash pulling.

What Information We Collect

We collect two types of information:

Information you give us directly:

  • Your name and email address if you sign up for our newsletter or contact us through our contact form

Information collected automatically:

  • Pages you visit on our site
  • How long you spend on each page
  • What device and browser you’re using
  • Your general location (country or city — not your home address)

This automated information is collected through tools such as Google Analytics and Google AdSense.

How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

  • Improve our content and make it more helpful
  • Send you emails if you signed up for our newsletter (you can unsubscribe anytime)
  • Show you relevant ads through Google AdSense
  • Understand how people find and use our site

We never sell your personal information to anyone. Ever.

Cookies

Our site uses cookies. Cookies are tiny files saved on your device that help websites remember you and work properly.

We use cookies for:

  • Google AdSense — to show ads that are relevant to you
  • Google Analytics — to understand how visitors use our site
  • Affiliate tracking — to record when a link you clicked led to a purchase

You can turn cookies off in your browser settings at any time. Just know that some parts of the site may not work as well without them.

Google AdSense and Third-Party Ads

We use Google AdSense to display ads on our site. Google may use cookies and your browsing history to show you ads based on your interests. This is called interest-based advertising.

You can opt out of interest-based ads by visiting Google Ads Settings

Affiliate Links

Some links on Arfinad are affiliate links. When you click them and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission. Affiliate networks may also use cookies to track these clicks. We only work with reputable affiliate programs. Your personal information is never shared with these programs beyond what is needed to track a sale.

Third-Party Links

Our posts sometimes link to other websites — product pages, tools, or resources we think can help you. Once you leave arfinad.com, we have no control over what those sites do with your information. We recommend reading their privacy policies before sharing any personal details with them.

Children’s Privacy

Arfinad is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe your child has submitted information to us, please contact us, and we will delete it promptly.

Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

  • See what personal information we have about you
  • Ask us to delete your information
  • Opt out of marketing emails at any time

To exercise any of these rights, simply contact us using the form on our Contact page.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we’ll update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to check back occasionally — but we’ll always keep it written in plain language you can actually understand.

This policy is written to comply with applicable privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and to follow general best practices under the GDPR for international visitors.
