Cookie Policy
Last updated: August 31, 2026
This policy explains the cookies and similar browser storage westchester.kitchen uses, what each one is for, and how to remove them.
1. What we use
We use a small number of first-party cookies and browser storage entries. “First-party” means they are set by this site and read only by this site — they are not shared with advertising networks.
Strictly necessary
- Sign-in session. If you create an account and sign in, our authentication provider stores a session in your browser so you stay signed in between pages. Clearing it signs you out.
Analytics (first-party)
- Visitor identifier — a randomly generated value kept for up to one year, so repeat visits can be counted as one visitor rather than many.
- Session identifier and timestamp — kept only for the current browsing session, to group the pages viewed in one visit.
- Session count — how many visits have been made, used to distinguish first-time from returning visitors.
These record which pages are viewed, the page or site that referred you, and an approximate location (country, region, city) derived by our host from your network connection. They are used to understand which parts of the catalog are useful. They are not used for advertising.
Site preferences
- Recently viewed products — so the site can show what you have already looked at.
- Prompt dismissals — remembers that you closed a prompt (such as the invitation to save your selection) so it is not shown again.
You may notice that several of these storage keys begin with vega_. Westchester Kitchen runs on a platform shared with a small group of affiliated storefronts, and the key names are shared across it. They hold this site's data only.
2. What we do not use
- No advertising or marketing pixels. There is no third-party advertising, retargeting, or social-media tracking pixel on this site.
- No cross-site tracking. Nothing here follows you to other websites.
- No selling of data. We do not sell or share this information with data brokers.
3. Third-party embeds
Our contact form and appointment booking are embedded from GoHighLevel, our customer-relationship platform. When one of those loads, GoHighLevel may set its own storage in your browser in order to operate the form. That is governed by GoHighLevel's own policies. Those embeds appear on the Contact page.
4. Your choices
We do not currently display a cookie consent banner on this site, and no preference centre is offered. You remain in control through your browser:
- Clear this site's storage. In your browser settings, clear cookies and site data for westchester.kitchen. This removes the identifiers above and signs you out.
- Block cookies. Most browsers can block or restrict cookies for a specific site, or for all sites. Blocking them will sign you out and may stop saved selections from working.
- Private browsing. A private or incognito window discards this storage when you close it.
Because the analytics described above are first-party and are not used for advertising, blocking them does not otherwise limit your use of the site.
5. Changes
If we add a cookie category — for example an advertising pixel or a consent banner — we will update this page and the “last updated” date above before or when it goes live.
