This Cookie Policy explains how COSMIC, a product of Salt & Pixel Studio LLC (“COSMIC,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), uses cookies, local storage, and similar technologies when you visit our website or use the COSMIC platform.
This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains more broadly how we collect, use, and protect information.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites may store on your browser or device. They can help a website remember information about your visit, maintain a login session, save preferences, understand how a site is used, and support certain features.
Some cookies remain only for the duration of your browser session, while others may remain on your device for a longer period unless you delete them.
Similar Technologies
In addition to traditional browser cookies, COSMIC may use technologies such as local storage, session storage, pixels, tags, scripts, or similar browser-based tools.
These technologies may be used for purposes such as:
- Keeping you signed in
- Remembering interface preferences
- Saving settings or selections
- Maintaining application state
- Supporting security features
- Understanding website or platform usage
- Improving performance and usability
Types of Cookies We May Use
The cookies and similar technologies used by COSMIC may fall into the following categories.
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These technologies are required for the website or platform to function properly.
They may be used to:
- Maintain secure login sessions
- Authenticate users
- Protect accounts and prevent fraudulent activity
- Remember essential application state
- Support security and load balancing
- Maintain shopping, subscription, or account-related sessions where applicable
Because these technologies are necessary to provide requested services, they generally cannot be disabled through a COSMIC cookie preference tool without affecting functionality.
Preference and Functional Cookies
Functional technologies help COSMIC remember choices you make and provide a more convenient experience.
These may remember information such as:
- Interface preferences
- Selected restaurant locations
- Display settings
- Navigation preferences
- Dismissed notices or messages
- Other non-essential user settings
Analytics and Performance Cookies
We may use analytics or performance technologies to understand how visitors and users interact with the COSMIC website and platform.
These technologies may help us understand:
- Which pages are visited
- How visitors move through the website
- Which features are used most often
- Whether users encounter errors
- How long pages take to load
- Which devices, browsers, or screen sizes are commonly used
We may use this information to improve usability, performance, reliability, and product design.
Advertising and Marketing Cookies
COSMIC may use marketing or advertising technologies in the future to understand the effectiveness of campaigns, measure referrals, or provide relevant marketing.
If these technologies are used and consent is required by applicable law, we will provide appropriate choices before activating non-essential advertising or marketing cookies.
We do not sell personal information to advertisers.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies or similar technologies may be placed or controlled by third-party services used by COSMIC.
Depending on the services enabled on our website or platform, these providers may include:
- Analytics providers
- Payment processors
- Customer support tools
- Hosting and security providers
- Embedded media providers
- Authentication services
- Connected restaurant technology platforms
Third-party providers may use cookies according to their own privacy policies and cookie practices. COSMIC does not control cookies placed directly by third-party services.
Connected Restaurant Services
COSMIC may connect with third-party restaurant technology, including point-of-sale systems, payment providers, accounting tools, website platforms, delivery services, and other integrations.
When you access or connect a third-party service through COSMIC, that provider may use its own cookies, authentication tokens, or similar technologies.
Those technologies are governed by the third party’s own terms and privacy practices.
Local Storage in the COSMIC Application
The COSMIC application may use browser local storage or session storage to remember certain settings, interface states, temporary application data, or user preferences.
Unlike traditional cookies, local storage is generally stored within your browser and may remain until it is cleared by the application or by you.
Local storage may be used to improve the responsiveness and usability of the platform, but sensitive account information should not depend solely on browser storage for protection.
How Long Cookies Remain
The amount of time a cookie remains on your device depends on its purpose.
Session cookies generally expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies may remain for a specified period or until you delete them.
Retention periods may also be determined by third-party providers where their technologies are used.
Your Cookie Choices
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings.
Most browsers allow you to:
- View stored cookies
- Delete individual or all cookies
- Block cookies from certain websites
- Block third-party cookies
- Disable cookies entirely
Blocking or deleting cookies may affect how COSMIC works. Certain features, particularly login, account security, preferences, and application functionality, may not operate correctly if necessary cookies are disabled.
Cookie Consent
Where required by applicable law, COSMIC may display a cookie consent or preference tool that allows visitors to accept, reject, or manage certain non-essential cookies.
Strictly necessary technologies may remain active because they are required for the website or platform to provide requested functionality.
If a cookie preference tool is available, you may be able to update your selections at any time through the applicable cookie settings control.
Browser Privacy Signals
Some browsers and privacy tools can send signals expressing a user’s preference regarding tracking or the sale or sharing of personal information.
We may evaluate and respond to legally recognized browser-based privacy signals where required by applicable law and supported by our systems.
Do Not Track
Some browsers include a “Do Not Track” setting. There is not currently a universally accepted technical standard for how websites should respond to every Do Not Track signal.
Where applicable law requires a particular response to a recognized privacy signal, we will take reasonable steps to comply.
Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy as COSMIC changes, new technologies are introduced, third-party services are added or removed, or legal requirements change.
When we update this policy, we will revise the effective date at the top of the page.
