This page explains what cookies are, which ones American Kitchen Tales uses, and how you can control them. It sits alongside our Privacy Policy, which covers personal data more broadly.
What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your device when you visit. It can help a website remember information between pages and between visits.
Some cookies are set by us. Others may be set by third parties whose services appear on this site, including analytics and advertising providers. We do not control third-party cookies, and those companies may have their own privacy and cookie policies.
Similar technologies, including web beacons, pixels, and local storage, may work in comparable ways. Where this policy says “cookies,” it also covers these similar technologies where applicable.
The cookies this site uses
Strictly necessary cookies. These cookies help the website function properly. They may be used for security, page functionality, and remembering your cookie preferences. These cookies are generally necessary for the operation of the site and cannot be disabled through the site’s consent controls.
Analytics cookies. These cookies may help us understand how visitors use the website, such as which pages are viewed, how visitors navigate the site, and where traffic comes from. We use this information to understand site performance and improve our content. Analytics services may process information in accordance with their own policies and the consent choices available on this site.
Advertising cookies. This site may display advertising from third-party advertising providers, including Google. Advertising technologies may use cookies or similar technologies to deliver, personalize, limit, or measure advertising, depending on your consent choices, applicable law, and the settings of the advertising service.
Google may use cookies and similar technologies in connection with advertising services. Other third-party vendors and advertising partners may also use cookies or similar technologies when advertising is displayed on this site.
Preference cookies. These cookies may remember choices you make on the website, such as cookie-consent preferences or other settings, so that you do not have to make the same choice repeatedly.
How long they last
Session cookies are generally deleted when you close your browser.
Persistent cookies remain on your device for a specified period, which varies depending on the cookie and the company that set it.
The exact duration of a cookie may change as the services used on this website change.
How to control cookies
You have several options for controlling cookies.
Your browser. Most major browsers allow you to block cookies, delete existing cookies, or receive a warning before cookies are stored. These controls are generally available under your browser’s privacy or security settings. Blocking certain cookies may affect how parts of this website function.
Google advertising controls. You can manage your Google advertising preferences through Google’s advertising settings.
Industry opt-out tools. Depending on your location, you may also be able to manage or opt out of certain interest-based advertising through industry opt-out services.
Opting out of personalized advertising does not necessarily mean that you will stop seeing advertisements. It generally means that advertising may be less personalized.
Consent banner. Where required by applicable law, you may be asked to provide consent before non-essential cookies or similar technologies are used. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time through the cookie-consent controls provided on the website.
Do Not Track
Some browsers send a “Do Not Track” signal. There is currently no universally accepted technical standard requiring websites to respond to this signal.
Where applicable, the cookie-consent controls described above provide the primary way to manage non-essential cookies on this website.
Third-party links
Our articles may link to external sources, including government agencies, research publications, universities, and news outlets.
Those websites operate independently and may use their own cookies and tracking technologies under their own policies. We are not responsible for the privacy or cookie practices of external websites.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when the services, technologies, or legal requirements applicable to this website change.
Any update will appear on this page with a revised date at the top.
