1. Purpose of This Policy
The Corner Vet uses Microsoft Advertising (commonly known as Bing Ads) to help people in and around Sealy, Texas learn that our veterinary practice exists. This Advertising Policy explains, in plain terms, how our website supports that advertising activity, what information may be collected as a result, and how you can control it. It is intended to satisfy Microsoft Advertising's requirement that businesses running search or display campaigns maintain a clear, accessible advertising disclosure on their website.
2. No Online Sales, Pricing, or Purchases
This website is strictly informational. The Corner Vet does not sell any products, publish pricing for services, or process any online purchases or bookings through this Site. Any advertising associated with this Site is intended solely to raise awareness of our practice and to direct interested visitors toward general information or a way to contact us directly — never to complete a transaction online.
3. Our Use of Microsoft Advertising (Bing Ads)
We may run search advertising campaigns through Microsoft Advertising that display when someone searches for veterinary-related terms relevant to our service area. These ads link back to pages on this Site, such as our homepage or Contact page. Microsoft's advertising platform may use cookies and similar technologies, described in our Cookie Policy, to determine which ads are shown and to measure their performance.
We do not control the specific ad placements, bidding, or targeting mechanics of Microsoft's platform beyond the campaign settings we configure. Microsoft's own advertising policies and privacy practices govern how it processes data on its side of the advertising relationship.
4. Conversion Tracking (Universal Event Tracking)
Where you have consented to advertising cookies through our cookie banner, this Site may load Microsoft's Universal Event Tracking (UET) tag. This tag helps us understand, in aggregate, whether visits originating from our Bing Ads campaigns led to further engagement with the Site, such as visiting the Contact page. UET data is used for measurement purposes only and is not used by us to build individually identifying profiles beyond what Microsoft's platform provides in aggregate reporting.
5. Remarketing
We may use remarketing features available through Microsoft Advertising, which can show our ads to people who have previously visited this Site as they browse other websites within the Microsoft Advertising Network. Remarketing relies on cookies placed in your browser and is only active where advertising cookies have been accepted through our consent banner.
6. Editorial & Content Standards
In line with Microsoft Advertising's editorial requirements, we aim to keep the content of this Site accurate, non-deceptive, and free of exaggerated or unverifiable claims about our practice. We do not use this Site to make guarantees about medical outcomes, and we avoid pricing claims, promotional offers, or urgency-based calls to action that could be considered misleading in an advertising context.
7. Your Opt-Out Choices
You have several ways to limit or opt out of advertising-related tracking associated with this Site:
- Our cookie banner: Reject advertising cookies, or open "Cookie Settings" in the footer at any time to turn off the advertising category.
- Microsoft's advertising opt-out: Microsoft provides account-level advertising preference controls for users who are signed in to a Microsoft account.
- Industry opt-out tools: Organizations such as the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) and the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) offer browser-based tools that let you opt out of interest-based advertising across many participating companies.
- Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to block third-party cookies entirely, which will prevent most advertising cookies from functioning.
8. Advertising to Children
Our advertising campaigns are not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect information from children through advertising-related cookies or tags on this Site.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may revise this Advertising Policy periodically to reflect changes in our advertising practices, Microsoft's platform requirements, or applicable law. Updates will be posted here with a new "Last Updated" date.
