Cookie Policy - Spice & Bloom

Last updated: September 1, 2025

This Cookie Policy explains how Spice & Bloom (“we,” “us,” “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on spiceandbloom.com (the “Site”). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a site. They help the site function, remember preferences, and understand how visitors use pages. Related technologies include pixels, local storage, and SDKs; we refer to all of these as “cookies.”

How We Use Cookies

We use cookies to:

Provide core features (e.g., page navigation, forms, security).
Measure performance and improve content (aggregated analytics).
Enable optional features such as video embeds or social tools.
Support affiliate links and advertising/attribution where applicable.

Types of Cookies We Use

1) Strictly Necessary

Required for the Site to work (security, network management, page rendering). You can block these in your browser, but the Site may not function properly.

2) Performance & Analytics

Help us understand visits and page performance so we can improve readability and recipe discovery. Data is aggregated and not used to identify you directly.

3) Functionality

Remember choices (e.g., form inputs, display preferences) to give you a smoother experience.

4) Advertising, Affiliate & Attribution

Partners may set cookies to measure clicks and purchases after you follow an affiliate link, and—where permitted—help tailor or limit ads. We do not sell personal information for money. See Privacy Policy for details.

Third-Party Cookies. Some cookies are set by third parties (e.g., analytics, video players, social networks, affiliate networks). Their processing is governed by their own privacy and cookie policies.

Your Choices

You control cookies through:

Browser settings: Block, delete, or limit cookies. Instructions are available for Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, etc.
In-site preferences: If you see a banner or preferences link, use it to accept/reject non-essential cookies. Update cookie preferences (if supported).
Third-party opt-outs: Some services provide their own opt-outs (e.g., analytics or ad settings). See their policies for instructions.

Legal Bases (EEA/UK)

Where GDPR/UK GDPR applies, we use:

Consent for non-essential cookies (e.g., analytics, advertising/affiliate measurement) and for storing information on your device;
Legitimate interests for strictly necessary cookies (security, service continuity).

U.S. State Privacy Notices

Some U.S. states (e.g., CA, CO, CT, VA, UT) provide rights to opt out of certain data practices like targeted advertising or “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising. Where cookie-based partners engage in such practices, you can opt out using browser settings, in-site preferences (if available), and partner tools. See our Privacy Policy for how to exercise additional rights.

Retention

Cookie durations vary. Session cookies expire when you close your browser; persistent cookies last longer but for no longer than necessary. Third-party durations are set by those providers.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. When we make changes, we revise the “Last updated” date above and post the new version here.
