At The Daily Grind Cafe, we are committed to providing you with the best possible online experience. To achieve this, we use cookies and similar technologies. This Cookies Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.
What are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies can be "persistent" or "session" cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a specified period, while session cookies are deleted when you close your browser.
Types of Cookies We Use
We use several categories of cookies on our website:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential for the operation of our website. They enable you to navigate the site and use its features, such as accessing secure areas. Without these cookies, services you have asked for, like shopping baskets or e-billing, cannot be provided.
- Performance Cookies: These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, such as which pages are visited most often and if they receive error messages from web pages. This helps us to improve the way our website works. These cookies do not collect information that identifies a visitor. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous.
- Functionality Cookies: These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your language or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. For instance, a website may be able to provide you with local weather reports or traffic news by storing in a cookie the region in which you are currently located. These cookies can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts, and other parts of web pages that you can customize. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
- Targeting or Advertising Cookies: These cookies are used to deliver adverts more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaign. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator’s permission. They 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 organization.
- Third-Party Cookies: We also use third-party services that may set cookies on your device. These cookies are subject to the respective third party’s privacy policies. For example, we use Google Analytics to help us analyze how users use the site.
