Last Updated: May 13, 2024 

Caruso Foods LLC, doing business as Caruso Brands (“Caruso Brands,” “we,” or “us”) recognizes the importance of data privacy. This Cookie Policy explains our use of “cookies” and other tracking technologies, including, but not limited to, web beacons, pixels, clear gifs, and other similar technologies (collectively, “Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies”) that are employed on [WEBSITE] (the “Site”). 

PLEASE READ THIS COOKIE POLICY CAREFULLY AS IT DESCRIBES YOUR RIGHTS, RESPONSIBILITIES, AND LIABILITIES. BY ACCESSING OR USING THE SITE, YOU ARE CONSENTING TO THE TERMS OF THIS COOKIE POLICY AND OUR TERMS OF SERVICE AND PRIVACY POLICY. 

  1. WHAT ARE COOKIES AND OTHER ONLINE TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES? 

Cookies are small files that are downloaded to your device when you visit a website. The cookie then sends information back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognizes that cookie. Other types of tracking technologies work similarly to cookies and place small data files on your devices or monitor your website activity to enable us to collect information about how you use our Site. Accordingly, Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies allow our Site to recognize your device and track your activities and preferences, thereby allowing you to navigate between pages efficiently and to generally improve the user experience. The information provided below about cookies also applies to the other tracking technologies referenced above (i.e., web beacons, pixels, clear gifs, and other similar technologies). You can find more information about cookies at www.allaboutcookies.org. 

Cookies are often categorized by function. We use four types of cookies by function on our Site: 

Name  Description 
Essential Cookies  These are cookies that are strictly necessary for the functioning of a website or for performing services that an individual user has requested. For instance, these cookies are necessary to allow us to operate our Site so you may access them as you have requested. These cookies let us recognize that you have created an account and have logged into that account to access the Site. They also include cookies that enable us to remember your previous actions within the same browsing session. 
Analytical/Performance Cookies  These cookies collect information and statistics about how individuals use the Site (e.g., which webpages or other portions of the Site visitors go to most often). These cookies are used to improve how the Site functions. 
Functional Cookies  These cookies allow the Site to remember choices users make and to provide enhanced, personalized features. For example, within our Site, these cookies remember users’ language preferences. 
Targeting/Advertising Cookies  These cookies are used to deliver advertisements relevant to a specific user of the Site. They remember that a user has visited a website and share this information with other organizations such as advertising vendors. 

 

Cookies can also be categorized by how long they remain on your device and by who puts the cookie there. There are four broad categories of duration and placement cookies that we use on the Site: 

Name  Description 
Persistent Cookies  Persistent cookies remain on your device until deleted manually or automatically. 
Session Cookies  Session cookies remain on your device until you close your browser, at which time they are automatically deleted. 
First-Party Cookies  These cookies are placed by the party operating the website or service. For example, any cookies we place on your computer from our Site are first-party cookies. 
Third-Party Cookies   These cookies are placed on a website or service by a party that does not own or operate the website or service.  

 

  1. HOW DOES OUR SITE USE COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES? 

We, and our third-party service providers and business partners, use Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies on our Site to identify you and your interests, to remember your preferences, for analytical, security, and other business purposes, to facilitate our marketing and to send targeted advertising to you, to track your use of our Site, and to monitor and record any and all activities and communications to, from, and on, the Site. For the avoidance of doubt, you hereby acknowledge, agree, and consent to, such monitoring and recording by us and our third-party service providers. The Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies we use on the Site are as follows: 

Google Ads and Analytics. We use “Google Analytics” to collect information about the use of our Site. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit the Site, what pages they visit when they do so, and what other sites they used prior to coming to the Site. We use the information we get from Google Analytics only to improve our Site. Google Analytics collects only the IP address assigned to your device on the date you visit our Site rather than your name or other personal information. We do not combine the information collected through the use of Google Analytics with other personal information. Although Google Analytics plants a cookie on your web browser to identify you as a unique user the next time you visit our Site, the cookie cannot be used by anyone but Google. Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to our Site is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy. You can prevent Google Analytics from recognizing you on return visits to the Site by disabling cookies on your browser. Along with cookies, Google Analytics also uses electronic images known as web beacons (sometimes called single pixel gifs) to compile aggregated statistics to analyze how our Site is used. You can find additional information on how to install a browser add-on to prevent your data from being used by Google Analytics at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
