Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains the cookies and similar technologies used on sweetfin.com, what each one does, who sets it, and how long it lasts. It sits alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains the personal information we collect more broadly and the rights you have over it.
Change your settings
Nothing beyond what is strictly necessary runs on this site until you make a choice. You can change that choice at any time.
What these technologies are
A cookie is a small text file a website stores in your browser. Related technologies do much the same job by other means: local storage keeps data in your browser without sending it back with every request, pixels are tiny requests to a third party that confirm a page was viewed, and software development kits do similar work inside apps. We use the word “cookies” below to cover all of them.
How we group them
- Strictly necessary — the site cannot work securely without them. These run without asking, because turning them off would break ordering, security, or accessibility.
- Analytics — help us understand which pages and menu items people actually use. Off until you turn them on.
- Advertising — let us show you Sweetfin ads on other platforms and measure whether they worked. This category involves disclosing information to Meta, Snap, and Google, which California law treats as selling or sharing your personal information. Off until you turn it on.
- Convenience — power optional extras such as the gift-card window. Off until you turn them on.
Strictly necessary
Remembers the cookie choices you made here so we do not ask again on every page. Without it we could not honor your decision.
A security token that stops other websites from submitting forms on this site in your name.
Helps Cloudflare tell real visitors apart from automated traffic so it can apply rate limits and block attacks. It does not identify you personally.
Remembers the accessibility settings you choose in the toolbar, such as larger text or screen-reader mode, so they persist as you move around the site.
Protects our forms from spam and automated abuse. It is used only for that purpose and not for advertising.
Keep your merchandise cart and checkout working across pages.
Analytics
Gives your browser a random identifier so Google Analytics can count returning visitors without knowing who you are.
Tracks the state of your current visit for our specific Google Analytics property, so pages viewed in one sitting are grouped into a single session.
Counts page views and traffic sources at an aggregate level for the hosting platform.
Advertising
Turning this category on means information about your visit is disclosed to the advertising platforms below so they can show you Sweetfin ads and tell us whether those ads worked. Under California law that is a sale or sharing of your personal information, and you can turn it off at any time.
Identifies your browser to Meta so Sweetfin ads can be targeted to you and so we can see when an ad led to a visit or an order.
Stores the click identifier from a Meta ad when you arrive from one, so the visit can be matched back to that ad.
Identify your browser to Snapchat for ad targeting and to measure Snapchat campaigns.
Records the session and click that brought you here from Snapchat.
A copy of the Snapchat identifiers above, kept in local storage so they survive when cookies are restricted.
Links a click on a Google ad to what you do on this site, so Google can report conversions back to us.
A local-storage copy of the Google Ads click identifier above.
The container that loads our Google measurement and advertising tags. It only loads once you have turned on analytics or advertising, and it passes your choice through to Google using Consent Mode.
Convenience
Identifies your device to inKind, the platform that sells and services Sweetfin gift cards, so the gift-card window works and purchases are attributed correctly.
Keeps your gift-card session going while you complete a purchase.
Other services that receive data
Some services do not set a cookie but still receive information — at minimum your IP address and browser details — because your browser has to contact them to load part of the page:
- Google Fonts serves the typefaces used across the site.
- CARTO and OpenStreetMap supply the map tiles in our store locator, and Nominatim turns an address you type into map coordinates. If you use the “use my location” button, your browser asks for your permission first and your coordinates stay in your browser.
- Webflow and Cloudflare host and serve the site.
- Thanx, Olo, Spoonfed, inKind and PayPal handle ordering, catering, gift cards and payment on their own pages, under their own cookie and privacy notices.
- StoreRocket and Google Maps power the map and store details on our individual location pages. They receive your IP address and browser details when one of those pages loads.
Global Privacy Control and browser signals
If your browser or an extension sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we treat it as a valid request to opt out of the sale and sharing of your personal information. Advertising cookies stay switched off for that browser and the cookie banner will tell you the signal was honored. Firefox, Brave and DuckDuckGo can send this signal, and extensions are available for other browsers.
You can also control cookies in your browser settings, including blocking them or deleting the ones already stored. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will break parts of this site. Because these controls are per-browser and per-device, you will need to set your preference again on each one.
Do Not Track
Browsers can send a Do Not Track signal, but there is still no agreed standard for what a website should do with it, so we do not respond to it. We do respond to Global Privacy Control, as described above.
Changes to this policy
We review this inventory at least once a year and whenever we add or remove a tool that stores information in your browser. The effective date at the top shows the last change.
