Cookie Policy

Effective 14 July 2026. This policy explains browser storage, the three preference choices shown on the website and the controls available to visitors.

This Cookie Policy describes how Clean Plate Kitchen uses cookies and similar browser storage on cleanplatekitchen.info. It applies to the preference banner, navigation, form operation, security, performance measurement and any optional audience information enabled by a visitor. A cookie is a small data item stored by a browser, while local storage is a browser feature that can retain a simple value such as a preference. These technologies do not replace the information a visitor actively types into a form. The Privacy Policy explains the broader handling of contact and course-interest details.

The website may use session cookies, persistent cookies and local browser storage. Session items normally end when the browser session closes. Persistent items remain until their stated expiry, until replaced or until the visitor deletes them. Similar technologies can remember whether the cookie banner has been answered, support menu and form behaviour, help prevent repeated or abusive requests and provide aggregated information about page performance. Clean Plate Kitchen does not use browser storage as an online payment mechanism, and no shopping-cart or direct sales functionality is present.

2.1 First-party and third-party items

A first-party item is set in relation to the Clean Plate Kitchen domain. A third-party item may be associated with a service embedded or requested from another provider, such as a font delivery or optional audience measurement service. Providers can change their technical naming conventions, so this policy describes purposes and choices as well as individual examples. External services are expected to operate under their own notices and applicable agreements.

Selecting “Functional” permits storage needed to remember the visitor’s cookie choice and support core website behaviour. Functional technologies can maintain accessibility preferences, keep the mobile navigation and accordion interactions predictable, assist form validation, distribute requests securely and record that the banner should not reappear on every page. Because these items support a requested function or safe delivery, disabling them through browser settings may cause preferences to be forgotten or parts of the interface to behave less consistently. Functional storage is not used to create advertising profiles.

Selecting “Partial” permits functional technologies and limited measurement designed to understand the website at an aggregated level. Examples can include which page groups receive visits, whether a page loads successfully, the broad category of device used and how visitors move between recipes, guides and course information. The purpose is to improve navigation, content organisation and technical reliability. Partial selection does not authorise every optional category. Where a measurement provider offers controls to reduce detail, Clean Plate Kitchen aims to use proportionate settings and avoid collecting unnecessary identifiers.

Selecting “Accept All” permits functional, limited measurement and any additional optional category described in the active banner configuration. Optional technologies may help evaluate content engagement or understand which general referral source led to the website. Acceptance is a choice and is not required merely to read culinary articles. The website does not use the banner to obtain permission for unrelated direct sales activity. If a materially different optional purpose is introduced, the banner and this policy should be updated before that purpose is enabled for visitors who have not selected it.

The preference record can remain for up to twelve months so the banner does not appear on every visit, after which the visitor may be asked to choose again. Security and load-management items may last only for a session or a short operational period. Aggregated measurement identifiers, when enabled, should use a limited duration appropriate to trend comparison and should not be retained indefinitely. Browser settings can delete an item before its normal expiry. Clearing all site data will usually remove the saved preference, causing the banner to appear again on a later visit.

6.1 Changes in duration

A provider may update a duration when its service changes. Clean Plate Kitchen reviews active website technologies periodically and will revise this page if a change materially affects visitor choice. The current policy date should be used when comparing this explanation with the banner visible at the time of a visit.

The website loads Tailwind CSS through its delivery network and typefaces from Google Fonts to provide the intended layout and typography. Requests to these services can involve technical connection information governed by the provider’s own terms. Hosting, security and performance providers may also use short-lived technologies to deliver pages reliably and protect forms. Clean Plate Kitchen selects only services needed for the current design and does not intentionally load an unnecessary collection of unrelated plug-ins. A link to another site does not place that site’s cookies until the visitor follows the link and reaches the destination.

Visitors can select Accept All, Partial or Functional in the fixed banner. The selection is saved locally in the browser. A visitor can withdraw or change optional permission by clearing the stored site preference and choosing again when the banner returns. Most browsers also provide settings to view, block or delete cookies for one domain or for all domains. Blocking every item may prevent the website from remembering a choice and may affect interactive components. Browser instructions differ, so visitors should use the help material for the exact browser and device version they use.

Some browsers send privacy preference signals. Technical standards and recognition requirements continue to develop, and the site may not respond to every signal in the same way. The most direct website control is the three-choice banner combined with browser settings. On a shared device, one person’s selection can affect later visitors using the same browser profile. Each user can clear site data or use a separate profile when they want an independent choice. Private browsing modes usually remove storage at the end of the private session, but exact behaviour is controlled by the browser.

We may update this policy when website features, providers, cookie categories or applicable requirements change. The effective date identifies the latest published text. Questions about browser storage or a saved preference may be sent to [email protected], discussed by telephone at +63 2 8555 0148 during business hours, or posted to Clean Plate Kitchen at 42 Sampaguita Lane, Makati City 1200, Philippines. Include the browser name, device category and a description of the issue, but do not send passwords, authentication codes or unrelated confidential material.
