Last Updated: July 3, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Tatte ("we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website sweet-tatte.click (the "Website"). This policy is intended to help you understand what cookies are, why we use them, and how you can control them.

We are committed to being transparent about the data we collect and how we use it. This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our Website and services.

If you have any questions about our use of cookies or this policy, please contact us at [email protected].

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-enabled device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work more efficiently, to provide a better user experience, and to collect information about how visitors interact with the site.

Cookies are stored in your browser's file directory. Each time you revisit the same website, your browser reads the cookie and sends the information back to the website's server. This allows the website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your previous visits.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit our Website, our server sends a cookie to your browser. Your browser stores this cookie locally. The next time you visit our Website, your browser sends the stored cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize your device and personalize your experience accordingly.

Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (known as "first-party cookies") or by third parties, such as analytics providers or advertisers (known as "third-party cookies"). Both types are used on our Website, as described in detail below.

2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may also use other similar tracking technologies, including:

  • Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small graphic files embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to track whether a page has been viewed or an email has been opened.
  • Local Storage: A browser feature that allows websites to store data locally in your browser, similar to cookies but with greater storage capacity.
  • Session Storage: Similar to local storage but the data is cleared when the browser session ends.
  • JavaScript Tags: Small pieces of code that collect data about your interaction with our Website.

For the purposes of this Cookie Policy, all of these technologies are collectively referred to as "cookies."

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies on our Website:

3.1 Essential (Strictly Necessary) Cookies

These cookies are absolutely necessary for our Website to function properly. They enable core features such as security, network management, and accessibility. Without these cookies, certain parts of our Website may not work correctly. Because these cookies are essential to the functioning of the Website, they cannot be disabled without affecting your ability to use the site.

Essential cookies do not store any personally identifiable information and are typically set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms.

3.2 Analytical / Performance Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our Website. They help us understand which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to help us analyze how visitors use our Website. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information such as how often users visit our Website, what pages they visit, and what other sites they used prior to coming to our Website.

3.3 Functional Cookies

These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization on our Website. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. Functional cookies allow the Website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred language, region, or any customizations you have made) and provide enhanced, more personal features.

If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.

3.4 Advertising / Marketing Cookies

These cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and to help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator's permission.

These cookies remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations, such as advertisers. Quite often targeting or advertising cookies will be linked to site functionality provided by the other organizations.

In accordance with applicable United States laws and regulations, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) for California residents, and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act regarding consumer protection, we rely on the following legal bases for processing your data through cookies:

  • Consent: For non-essential cookies (analytics, functional, and advertising cookies), we rely on your explicit consent. You will be prompted to provide consent when you first visit our Website through our cookie consent banner.

California residents have specific rights under the CCPA/CPRA regarding the sale and sharing of personal information. Please refer to our Privacy Policy for more information about these rights and how to exercise them.

7. Impact of Disabling Cookies

While you have the right to disable or restrict cookies, please be aware that doing so may have a significant impact on your experience when using our Website. The following outlines the potential consequences of disabling different categories of cookies:

Cookie Type Impact of Disabling
Essential Cookies Critical functions such as page navigation, secure areas, and shopping cart functionality may not work. The Website may not operate as intended, and you may not be able to place orders or access your account.
Analytical Cookies We will be unable to track and analyze website performance and visitor behavior. This means we cannot improve our Website based on data, but your browsing experience will not be significantly affected.
Functional Cookies Personalization features will not work. Your preferences, such as language settings, saved cart items, and dietary preferences, will not be remembered between visits. You may need to re-enter this information each time you visit.
Advertising Cookies You will still see advertisements, but they will be less relevant to your interests. You may also see the same advertisements more frequently. Disabling these cookies does not prevent advertising; it only affects the targeting and personalization of those ads.

8. Third-Party Cookies and Links

Our Website may contain links to third-party websites, plugins, and applications. Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow third parties to collect or share data about you. We do not control these third-party websites and are not responsible for their privacy or cookie policies. We encourage you to read the privacy and cookie policies of any third-party websites you visit.

Third-party service providers whose cookies may be found on our Website include, but are not limited to:

9. Cookies and Children's Privacy

Our Website is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13 through cookies or any other means. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with personal data, please contact us at [email protected] so that we can take appropriate action.

10. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Our Website does not currently respond to DNT signals because there is no consistent industry standard for compliance. We will continue to monitor developments in this area and may adopt a DNT standard when one is established.

However, California residents may exercise their rights under the CCPA/CPRA to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, which can be done through the mechanisms described in Section 6 of this policy and in our Privacy Policy.
