Cookie Policy

Last Updated: July 18, 2026

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-enabled device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work more efficiently, to provide a better user experience, and to report information to website operators.

Cookies are created by the web server that hosts the website and sent to your browser. Your browser stores the cookie and sends it back to the server every time you make a subsequent visit. This allows the server to recognize your device and remember information about your previous visits, preferences, and behavior on the site.

Cookies do not typically contain personally identifiable information by themselves; however, personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. Understanding how cookies work helps you make informed decisions about your privacy when using our website.

1.1 First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies

Cookies can be categorized based on who sets them:

  • First-Party Cookies: These cookies are set directly by Tatte (the website you are visiting). They are used to enable core functionality, remember your preferences, and improve your experience on our site.
  • Third-Party Cookies: These cookies are set by external services or partners that provide functionality or analytics on our behalf. Examples include Google Analytics, Google Ads, and social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram.

1.2 Session vs. Persistent Cookies

Cookies also differ by duration:

  • Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that are erased when you close your browser. They allow a website to link your actions during a single browsing session.
  • Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time, even after you close your browser. They are activated each time you visit the website that created them. The duration varies depending on the purpose of the cookie.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

If you do not allow these cookies, we will not be able to monitor the performance of our site effectively.

These cookies may be set through our website by our advertising partners, including Google and Meta (Facebook/Instagram). They may be used to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other websites.
