You can stop receiving marketing messages from us at any time.
You can do this:
1. By clicking on the “unsubscribe” link in any E-Mail
2. By writing us an E-Mail at info@dogloverclothing.com
Once you do this, we will update your profile to ensure that you don’t receive further marketing messages.
Please note that, as Dogloverclothing.com comprises a complex web of many inter-connecting services, it might take a few days for all our systems to be updated, so you might get messages from us while we process your request.
Stopping marketing messages will not stop service communications (such as order updates or where you have expressed an interest in an activity at Dogloverclothing.com).
We also engage in online advertising, also to keep you aware of what we’re up to and to help you see and find our products.
Like many companies, we might target Dogloverclothing.com banners and ads to you when you are on other websites and apps. We do this using a variety of digital marketing networks and ad exchanges, and we use a range of advertising technologies like web beacons, pixels, ad tags, cookies, and mobile identifiers, as well as specific services offered by some sites and social networks, such as Facebook’s Custom Audience service.
The banners and ads you see will be based on information we hold about you, or your previous use of our website (for example, your search history in our shop, and the content you read on our website) or on Dogloverclothing.com banners or ads you have previously clicked on.
