What are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to analyze site traffic, and to personalize your experience. Cookies can also be used by third parties, such as social media platforms and analytics providers, to track your browsing activity.

Types of Cookies We Use

1. Essential (Necessary) Cookies

These cookies are essential for the basic operation of the Site. They enable you to navigate the website, use secure areas, and complete transactions. Without these cookies, services such as shopping carts or login functionalities would not work properly. Examples include:

• Session identifiers that keep you logged in as you move from page to page.
• Security tokens that protect against cross‑site request forgery.
• Cookies that remember your preferences for language or region.

2. Analytics Cookies (Google Analytics)

We use Google Analytics to collect anonymous data about how visitors interact with the Site. This helps us understand user behavior, improve content, and enhance the overall user experience. The data collected includes:

• Page views, click paths, and time spent on each page.
• Traffic sources (e.g., search engines, referral links).
• Device type, operating system, and browser information.

Google Analytics does not collect personal data such as names or email addresses. The data is aggregated and anonymized before it reaches us.

3. Social Media Cookies

The Site includes social media widgets from Pinterest, Instagram, and Facebook. When you interact with these widgets, the respective platforms may set cookies on your device. These cookies are used to:

• Track your interaction with social media buttons or embedded posts.
• Allow you to share content directly to your social media accounts.
• Provide personalized social media advertising (if you opt in).

These cookies are controlled by the social media platforms themselves, not by Plateflavorkitchen.
