Cookie Policy
Effective date: 2026-02-21
This Cookie Policy explains how Cooktour Inc. ("Cooktour") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website. It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control their use.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to the website owners.
We also use localStorage, a similar browser storage mechanism that stores data locally on your device without being sent to the server with each request.
2. How We Use Cookies
We categorise our cookies into the following groups:
2.1 Strictly Necessary
These are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences, choosing a theme, or selecting a language.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
cookie_consent | Cookie | Stores your cookie consent preference (accepted/rejected) | 180 days |
theme | localStorage | Stores your light/dark theme preference | Persistent |
preferredLanguage | localStorage | Stores your language preference | Persistent |
3. Google Consent Mode v2
We implement Google Consent Mode v2, which allows Google Analytics to operate in a privacy-safe manner. When you have not given consent, analytics cookies are denied by default. No personally identifiable data is collected until you explicitly click "Accept All" in our cookie banner. Google may still collect aggregated, non-identifying signals in denied mode to model conversions.
4. Managing Cookies
You can control cookies in several ways:
- Our cookie banner: When you first visit our site, you can choose to accept or reject non-essential cookies.
- Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. See your browser's help documentation for instructions.
- Clear cookies: You can delete existing cookies at any time through your browser settings. Our cookie banner will reappear on your next visit.
