Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Some are essential for the site to work; others help us understand how the site is used or recognise the partner who referred you. This page explains which cookies PugliaKitchen uses and how to manage your choices. For how we handle personal data in general, see our Privacy Policy.

2. Your Choices

When you first visit, a banner lets you accept all, keep only the necessary cookies, or customise your choice by category. You can change your decision at any time:

• Manage your cookie preferences (reopens the choice panel)
• Or clear and block cookies from your browser settings at any time

Refusing optional cookies does not affect access to the site: only statistics, third-party widgets and affiliate recognition are switched off.

3. Categories We Use

Strictly necessary (always on): required for the site to work, such as remembering your cookie choice, form submission and security.

Functional: third-party widgets that enrich the pages, such as the Google reviews widget. Loaded only with your consent.

Analytics: help us see which pages work and where to improve. Loaded only with your consent. We also use a privacy-first, cookieless analytics tool (Analyzati) that stores nothing on your device and therefore needs no consent.

Marketing & affiliates: recognise the partner or affiliate who referred you, so we can credit them. Loaded only with your consent.

4. Cookies We Use

Cookieless, always on: Analyzati (privacy-first analytics) collects aggregate statistics without storing any cookie or personal data on your device, so it needs no consent. Our anti-spam (ALTCHA) is also cookieless.

5. Third-Party Providers

Optional cookies are set by these providers, each with its own privacy policy:

• Google (Analytics 4, reviews, Fonts): policies.google.com/privacy
• Elfsight (reviews widget): elfsight.com/privacy-policy
• SiteBehaviour (analytics): sitebehaviour.com/privacy-policy
• Analyzati (cookieless analytics): analyzati.com

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in the tools we use or in applicable law. The "last updated" date at the top of this page will change accordingly. For any question, contact us via the contact form.
