Crispy Glaze uses cookies. That is not unusual, practically every website on the internet does. This page explains what cookies are, which ones this site uses, why they are used, and what your options are. The full Privacy Policy is at crispyglaze.com/privacy-policy.
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They are not programs. They cannot run code or carry viruses. What they do is store small pieces of information, like whether you have visited the site before, or what items are in a shopping cart, so the site can work properly and remember your preferences.
Cookies set by the website you are visiting are called first-party cookies. Cookies set by other services running on the site, like analytics tools or ad networks, are called third-party cookies.
Types of Cookies This Site Uses
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the site to function. They handle things like keeping you logged in if you have an account, managing your session, and making sure the site displays correctly. You cannot opt out of these without breaking core site functionality.
- Session management cookies (WordPress)
- Security and authentication cookies
- Cookie consent record cookies
Analytics Cookies
These cookies help understand how visitors use the site, which pages get the most traffic, how long people stay, and where they come from. This information is used to improve the site and its content. No personally identifiable information is collected through analytics cookies.
- Google Analytics (_ga, _gid, _gat), tracks visits, traffic sources, and page performance
Advertising Cookies
Crispy Glaze uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google and its partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site and other sites across the web. This is called interest-based or behavioral advertising.
- Google AdSense cookies — used to serve relevant ads and measure ad performance
- DoubleClick cookies — used by Google for ad frequency capping and conversion tracking
You can opt out of interest-based advertising by visiting Google’s Ad Settings at g.co/adsettings, or by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page at optout.networkadvertising.org. Opting out does not remove ads from the site, it means the ads you see will be less targeted to your interests.
Functionality Cookies
These cookies remember choices you make to improve your experience on the site, such as your preferred language or region settings. They are persistent, meaning they stay on your device until they expire or you delete them.
Social Media Cookies
If you use the share buttons on this site to share content to Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, or other platforms, those platforms may set their own cookies. Crispy Glaze does not control these cookies. They are governed by the privacy policies of the respective platforms.
How Long Cookies Last
Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period, ranging from 24 hours for some analytics cookies to up to 2 years for others like the Google Analytics client ID cookie (_ga). You can view and delete any cookies stored on your device through your browser settings at any time.
Session cookies are deleted once you shut down your browser. In contrast, persistent cookies stay on your device for a designated duration, which can vary from 24 hours for certain analytics cookies to as long as 2 years for others, such as the Google Analytics client ID cookie (_ga). You can access and remove any cookies saved on your device at any time via your browser’s settings.
How to Manage Cookies
You are in control of which cookies you accept beyond the strictly necessary ones. Here are your options:
- Browser settings: Every major browser lets you view, delete, and block cookies. Look in Settings or Preferences under Privacy or Security.
- Google Analytics opt-out: Install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
- Ad personalization: Manage Google ad settings at g.co/adsettings.
- Cookie consent banner: When you first visit Crispy Glaze, a consent notice allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies.
Blocking certain cookies may affect how the site works. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be declined without impacting site functionality.
