Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information
California residents have the right to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of their personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. On this page you can exercise that right for this Veterinary Service Inc property.
Opt out of sale/sharing on this website
Use the control below to opt this browser and device out of the sale and sharing of your personal information for targeted advertising. Your choice is stored as a cookie, so you may need to opt out again if you clear cookies, use a different browser, or use a different device.
We honor Global Privacy Control (GPC)
If your browser or a browser extension sends a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, we treat it as a valid request to opt out of the sale and sharing of personal information for that browser and device — you do not need to take any further action.
What opting out does and doesn’t do
· It stops us from sharing your browsing activity with advertising partners (such as Google and Meta) for targeted advertising.
· It does not stop essential cookies needed to run the site, remember your cart, or process your order.
· It does not delete your account or unsubscribe you from emails — manage those separately in your account settings or via the unsubscribe link in our emails.
· You may still see advertising, but it will not be targeted based on your activity across sites.
Submitting a request on someone’s behalf (authorized agents)
You may use an authorized agent to submit an opt-out request on your behalf. We may require the agent to provide proof that you gave them signed permission to act for you, and may ask you to verify your own identity directly with us.
