This Cookie Policy explains how Taste & Plate may use cookies and similar technologies when you visit tasteandplate.com, and the choices available to you in relation to those technologies.
What cookies are
Cookies in plain language
Cookies are small text files that may be stored on, or accessed through, your browser or device when you visit a website. They help a website remember information connected with a visit or device, such as a setting you have chosen or a technical instruction needed to keep pages working as expected. A cookie does not automatically mean that Taste & Plate knows who you are personally; what can be associated with a cookie depends on the information and technology used.
Meaning
Similar technologies
Some technologies can perform related functions by storing or reading information in a browser or on a device. Where applicable, this policy addresses those comparable technologies as well. For convenience, we use the word “cookies” throughout this policy to refer to cookies and similar technologies, unless the context makes a distinction necessary.
Why we use cookies
01
Essential website operation
Strictly necessary cookies may support core website functions, including security, page navigation, technical load balancing, and remembering a privacy-related choice. These are examples of functional purposes rather than a statement that every function is active at all times. If strictly necessary cookies are blocked, parts of the site may not operate reliably or may be unable to retain the settings needed for a secure, consistent visit.
02
Preferences and usability
Preference cookies may remember choices that make a return visit more convenient when those options are available. This can include language, display, or consent settings. They are intended to support usability rather than core operation. Choosing not to allow preference cookies may mean that a setting is not remembered between visits, but it should not necessarily prevent you from viewing the website.
03
Performance and measurement
Optional measurement technologies may help us understand how visitors use pages so that tasteandplate.com can be maintained and improved. Where used, this may include aggregated or de-identified patterns such as pages visited, navigation paths, device or browser information, and technical performance. These technologies are optional where consent is required or offered, and the relevant requirements can depend on the cookie and applicable law.
Optional where required
04
No gambling-account purpose stated
This Cookie Policy does not describe an online casino, betting account, virtual play service, or remote gambling platform. Taste & Plate’s casino offering is a real, physical venue experience involving face-to-face play. This statement is a boundary on the scope of this website policy, not a description of casino operational data handling.
Cookie categories and choices
Cookies can have different purposes. The categories below describe the ways cookies may apply to this website in plain language and how your choices may affect them.
Strictly necessary cookies
Required for core site operation
These cookies may be needed for the website to function securely and for core settings to operate. They generally cannot be switched off through ordinary preference controls. Blocking them through browser settings may affect navigation, security-related functions, or the site’s ability to remember a necessary setting during your visit.
Preference cookies
Optional where used
These cookies may retain settings that improve convenience when optional features are offered, such as display, language, or consent choices. You may be able to manage them through site cookie controls where provided, or through browser settings. Declining them may reduce convenience by requiring a choice to be made again, rather than necessarily preventing access.
Performance and analytics cookies
Optional where used
These cookies may support measurement and improvement of the website. You may be able to decline them or later change an optional choice through available site controls or browser settings. Consent requirements can depend on the cookie and applicable law. We do not identify a particular analytics provider or guarantee an opt-out route beyond browser settings and any site controls provided.
Your choice in practice. Available choice controls apply to non-essential cookies where required or offered. Browser-level controls can affect all cookies or selected cookies. Changing or withdrawing an optional choice does not necessarily remove cookies already stored on your device; you may also need to clear browser data. The next section explains this practical step.
Managing cookies in your browser
Use your browser settings
Most browsers let you review, block, delete, or limit cookies through their settings or privacy controls. The available controls, names, and steps can vary by browser and device. For instructions that match your own setup, consult the help or support documentation supplied by the browser or device provider. Site cookie controls, where available, can sit alongside these browser-level choices rather than replacing them.
Check your browser’s help or support documentation for device-specific guidance.
Consider the effect of blocking cookies
Blocking all cookies may affect parts of tasteandplate.com and other websites. For example, settings may not be saved and certain functions may work less consistently. Some effects may concern convenience, while others may affect functionality. You can select the browser and site settings that best reflect your own preferences.
Third parties and duration
Where applicable
Third-party technologies where used
Services that support website functions or measurement may set or access cookies where they are integrated. If this occurs, the relevant provider’s handling of information is governed by its own notices or policies. We do not name, endorse, or imply use of any advertising network, social platform, booking provider, payment provider, or casino operator in this policy. Where a third-party notice is presented or applicable, you should review it for further information.
How long cookies remain
Session cookies usually expire when a browser session ends. Persistent cookies can remain for a defined period or until they are deleted. The exact duration depends on the individual cookie and its purpose. Browser settings may allow you to remove stored cookies before their intended expiry, as outlined in the browser guidance above.
Links to other websites
Links from tasteandplate.com to other websites may be governed by the external site’s own cookie and privacy practices. Before providing information to an external site or accepting its cookies, we encourage you to read that site’s relevant policies. This Cookie Policy is limited to the Taste & Plate website experience.
Changes and contact
Changes to this Cookie Policy
Taste & Plate may update this Cookie Policy when website practices, technology, or legal obligations change. The effective date at the top of this page identifies the current version. For this version, the date is 18 September 2026. We encourage you to review this policy periodically so that you remain aware of any changes to how cookies and similar technologies may be used on tasteandplate.com.
We use essential cookies to keep Taste & Plate working and optional analytics to understand visits.
