Effective Date: June 25, 2026 | Last Updated: June 25, 2026

About This Policy: This Cookie Policy explains how Round Table Kitchen ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website roundtablekitchen.rest. By continuing to use our website, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this policy.

1. 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, improve the efficiency of their platforms, and provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Round Table Kitchen) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website, such as advertising, interactive content, and analytics. The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your device both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.

Cookies serve a variety of purposes on modern websites. They allow websites to recognize your device and remember information about your visit, such as your preferred language, your login status, or items you have placed in an online shopping cart. This makes it possible for websites to deliver a more personalized and seamless experience to users.

1.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit our website, our web server sends a cookie to your browser. Your browser stores this cookie on your device. The next time you visit our website, your browser sends the cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize you and recall your preferences. Cookies do not typically contain information that directly identifies you personally, but they may link to personal information that we hold about you.

Cookies can be classified in several ways:

Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They are used to maintain your session as you navigate through our website.
Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time or until you manually delete them. They are used to remember your preferences and settings for future visits.
First-Party Cookies: Set directly by our website and only readable by our website.
Third-Party Cookies: Set by external services embedded on our website, such as Google Analytics, social media platforms, and advertising networks.

2. Why Do We Use Cookies?

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize the cookies used on our website into four main types: Essential, Functional, Analytics, and Advertising cookies. Each type serves a distinct purpose and has different implications for your privacy.

3.1 Essential Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for our website to function properly. They enable core features such as page navigation, security, and access to secure areas of the website. Without these cookies, the website cannot operate correctly, and services you have requested — such as placing a food order — cannot be provided.

Essential cookies do not require your consent because they are necessary for the basic functioning of our website. They typically do not collect personal information that could be used for marketing purposes.

3.2 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personalized features. For example, they may remember your preferred language, your location for delivery purposes, or your order history to speed up the checkout process. These cookies may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our website.

3.3 Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This information helps us improve the structure, content, and overall user experience of our website. We use Google Analytics as our primary analytics provider.

3.4 Advertising Cookies

Advertising cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are relevant and engaging for you as a user. They also serve to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. These cookies are usually placed by advertising networks with our permission.
