Cookie Policy

Last updated 22 July 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Coast Cake Supplies ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on coastcakesupplies.co.nz. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They let a site remember your actions and preferences over time, and help site owners understand how the site is used. Cookies can be "session" cookies, which expire when you close your browser, or "persistent" cookies, which stay until they expire or you delete them. Similar technologies such as pixels and local storage work in comparable ways.

Types of cookies we use

• Essential cookies — necessary for the site to function, such as remembering your consent choices and enabling core navigation. The site cannot work properly without these.
• Analytics cookies — help us understand how visitors use the site, which pages are popular and where people leave, so we can improve our content. This data is aggregated and does not identify you personally.
• Affiliate-tracking cookies — record when you click through to an operator via one of our links, so that any commission we are due is correctly attributed. This is how the site is funded — see our affiliate disclosure.
• Preference cookies — remember choices you make, such as display settings, to give you a smoother experience on return visits.

Third-party cookies

Some cookies are set by third parties rather than by us directly. These include:

• Google Analytics — for aggregated website traffic and usage measurement.
• Affiliate networks — the tracking platforms used by the operators we link to, which record referrals and attribute commissions.

When you click a link to an operator, that operator and its network may also set their own cookies under their own privacy and cookie policies, over which we have no control.

Consent

Where required, we ask for your consent before setting non-essential cookies (analytics, affiliate-tracking and preference cookies). Essential cookies do not require consent because the site cannot function without them. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time through your browser settings.

How to manage or disable cookies

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block all cookies, block third-party cookies only, or delete cookies already stored. Instructions are usually found in the browser's Settings or Preferences menu, under "Privacy" or "Cookies":

• Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data.
• Safari: Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data.
• Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data.
• Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions.

Please note that disabling cookies may affect how parts of the site work — for example, your preferences may not be remembered.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The "last updated" date above reflects the current version. For any questions, email [email protected] or use our contact form.
