What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your computer or mobile device when you visit. They contain data such as a unique identifier, the date the cookie was set, and a value. Cookies allow the Site to recognize you on subsequent visits, remember your preferences, and gather information about how you use the Site.

Types of Cookies We Use

• Essential (Necessary) Cookies – These cookies are vital for the basic functioning of the Site. They enable core features such as secure login, session management, and safe navigation. Without these cookies, the Site would not be able to provide you with the services you request.

This information helps us improve content, design, and overall user experience. Google Analytics does not identify you personally; it only tracks aggregated data.
• Social Media Cookies (Pinterest, Instagram, Facebook) – When you view or share content from the Site on Pinterest, Instagram, or Facebook, these platforms place cookies on your device. They enable features such as “Share” buttons, embedded posts, and social login. These cookies are set by the third‑party social media sites and not by HomemadeTasties.
