Cookie Policy

Effective Date: March 4, 2026 | Last Updated: October 2, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Patti's Pastries ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on pattispastries.net.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work properly, improve your browsing experience, and provide information to website operators.

Cookies This Site Uses

Analytics cookies (Google Analytics 4): the Google tag on every page sets _ga and _ga_1JZMC6PWVZ. They let Google Analytics tell visits apart and count how people use the site. Duration: up to 2 years. Our Privacy Policy explains what Google Analytics records.

The site has no logins, shopping cart or saved settings, so it does not set any cookies of its own for those. We do not use advertising cookies, and the site runs no advertising tags.

Session storage: when you start filling in the form on our Contact page, the site saves a small note in your browser's session storage so the start is counted once per visit. It is not a cookie, it holds nothing you typed, and your browser clears it when you close the tab.

Third-Party Cookies

The video on our home page loads from YouTube only when you press play, and YouTube may then set its own cookies. Our website also links to Facebook, Instagram, Yelp and Google Maps. If you follow those links, those sites may set their own cookies. We do not control these third-party cookies, and they are governed by the privacy and cookie policies of those companies.

Managing Cookies

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

• See what cookies are stored and delete them individually
• Block third-party cookies
• Block cookies from specific websites
• Block all cookies
• Delete all cookies when you close your browser

You can also stop Google Analytics on every site you visit with the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. Since our website is mainly informational, you should be able to browse it without any issues with cookies blocked.

Here are instructions for managing cookies in common browsers:

• Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies
