Cookie Policy
Effective Date: August 23, 2026 | Last Updated: August 23, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Chocolate Cremerie ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on www.chocolatesandiego.com (the "Site"). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies include web beacons, pixels, tags, and local storage, which we refer to collectively as "cookies" in this Policy. First-party cookies are set by us. Third-party cookies are set by our partners. Cookies may be session cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (which remain until they expire or are deleted).
How We Use Cookies
| Category | Purpose | Examples on This Site |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | Enable core functionality such as security, network management, navigation, and form submission. Cannot be switched off. | WordPress session and security cookies; cookie-consent preference cookie; anti-spam/CAPTCHA verification on our contact and catering forms |
| Performance / Analytics | Collect aggregated information about how visitors use the Site so we can measure and improve performance. | Google Analytics 4, deployed through Google Tag Manager and Google Site Kit (cookies such as _ga and _ga_<container-id>) |
| Functional | Remember choices you make to provide enhanced, personalized features. | Your cookie-consent selections; language and display preferences; dismissal state for on-site announcements and popups |
| Advertising / Targeting | Build a profile of your interests and show you relevant ads on and off the Site; measure ad performance. | We do not currently run advertising or retargeting pixels on this Site. If we add them, this Policy and our cookie banner categories will be updated first. |
| Embedded Social & Review Content | Display our Instagram feed, Facebook content, and guest review feeds. | Cookies and local storage set by Meta (Instagram/Facebook) and review platforms when their embedded content loads |
If our Site embeds a reservation, waitlist, or online-ordering widget (such as OpenTable, Resy, Tock, or a delivery partner), that provider may set its own cookies once the widget loads, governed by their own cookie and privacy policies. We link to those policies where the widget appears.
Our Site also loads fonts and icon libraries from third-party providers (Google Fonts and Font Awesome). These are used for presentation only, but the request to those providers does disclose your IP address to them.
Your Choices & How to Manage Cookies
- Cookie banner / preferences. You can accept or reject non-essential cookies through our cookie banner, and change your choice at any time using the "Cookie Settings" control on the Site.
- Browser controls. Most browsers let you view, delete, and block cookies through their settings. Blocking some cookies may affect how the Site functions.
- Opt-out signals. We honor recognized opt-out preference signals, including the Global Privacy Control (GPC), where required by law.
- Analytics opt-out. You can opt out of Google Analytics using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
- Advertising opt-out. You can manage interest-based advertising through the DAA and NAI opt-out tools.
Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) setting. Because there is no consistent industry standard for DNT, the Site may not respond to DNT signals; however, we honor the Global Privacy Control as described above.
Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, law, or our practices. We will revise the "Last Updated" date when we do.
