Cookies Policy
This Cookies Policy explains how The Golden Spoon ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website, www.thegoldenspoonphl.com ("Website"). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
What are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information. They help us understand how you use our website and to improve your experience.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, The Golden Spoon) 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 (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.
How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for several purposes. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Website to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Online Properties. Third parties serve cookies through our Website for advertising, analytics, and other purposes. This is a detailed breakdown of the types of cookies we use:
- Essential Cookies: These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our Website and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas. Without these cookies, services you have asked for, like online reservations or accessing your account, cannot be provided.
- Performance Cookies: These cookies collect information about how visitors use our Website, for instance, which pages visitors go to most often, and if they get error messages from web pages. These cookies don't collect information that identifies a visitor. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. It is only used to improve how our Website works. For example, we use Google Analytics to understand how our customers use the site so we can improve the browsing experience.
- 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. 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 advertisements 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 campaigns. 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.
Specifically, the cookies we use can be categorized as follows:
- Session Cookies: These cookies are temporary and expire when you close your browser (i.e., the session ends).
- Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your hard drive for a period of time specified in the cookie.
Third-Party Cookies
As mentioned earlier, we also use third-party cookies. Specifically, we use the following third-party cookies:
- Google Analytics: For website analytics and performance tracking. You can learn more about Google's privacy practices here and opt-out of Google Analytics here.
- Social Media Plugins: Our website may use social media plugins (e.g., Facebook, Instagram) to allow you to share content or connect with us on social media platforms. These plugins may set cookies to track your usage. Please refer to the respective social media platforms' privacy policies for more information.
