Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies palatez.com uses and why. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are used to make the site function properly, understand how it is used, and, in some cases, deliver relevant marketing.

2. Cookies We Use

Essential/functional cookies: used for core site functionality, such as keeping you logged in, remembering items in your cart during checkout (WooCommerce), and basic security. The Site cannot function properly without these.

Analytics cookies: we use Google Analytics (via Google Site Kit) to understand how visitors use the Site — for example, which pages are viewed and for how long. This data is generally aggregated and does not directly identify you.

Marketing cookies: if you sign up to receive emails from us (via Hostinger Reach), related cookies or tracking pixels may be used to understand engagement with those emails, such as whether a message was opened.

Payment cookies: our payment processor, Stripe, may set cookies during checkout for fraud prevention and to process your payment.

3. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on this Site are set by third parties acting on our behalf, currently Google (analytics) and Stripe (payment processing). These third parties’ own privacy and cookie practices apply to the data they collect; we encourage you to review their respective policies.

4. Managing Cookies

Most browsers let you control or block cookies through their settings, and you can typically delete cookies already stored on your device. Blocking essential cookies may affect Site functionality, such as your ability to complete a purchase. We do not currently operate an on-site cookie consent/preference tool; cookie control is managed through your browser settings until one is implemented.

5. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy as the cookies and tools used on the Site change. We will post the updated version on this page.

6. Contact

Questions about this Cookie Policy can be directed to [contact email/address to be added].

Last updated: [date to be added upon publishing]. This page is a draft pending review by a Malaysia-qualified attorney and is not yet finalized. If EU/UK visitor traffic is confirmed as meaningful, an actual cookie-consent banner tool should be implemented — this page alone does not satisfy GDPR’s opt-in consent requirement for non-essential cookies.
