Last updated: October 9, 2025

1. About This Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how The European Table, a California corporation doing business as The Spanish Table (“The Spanish Table,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on spanishtable.com (the “Site”). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy which describes how we collect, use, and share personal information.

2. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the site owner. We also use similar technologies such as web beacons, pixels, local storage, and SDKs (collectively, “cookies”).

3. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for the following purposes:

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the Site to function (e.g., secure checkout, cart functionality, account login, session management, age-gate for alcohol compliance). They cannot be switched off in our systems. You can set your browser to block these cookies, but parts of the Site may not work.

3.2 Performance & Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand Site usage (e.g., pages visited, time on page, referral sources) so we can improve performance and user experience. Examples include Google Analytics or similar tools configured for aggregated reporting.

3.3 Functional Cookies

These remember choices you make (e.g., region, language, preferred pickup/shipping options) to provide enhanced, personalized features.

3.4 Advertising & Marketing Cookies

These may be set by us or our advertising partners to build a profile of your interests and show relevant promotions on this Site or other sites. They do not store direct personal identifiers but rely on unique identifiers for your browser or device.

4. Specific Cookies We Use

The specific cookies used on the Site may change over time as we improve our services. Common categories include:

  • Shopify platform cookies for storefront operation, cart, checkout, and security.
  • Analytics cookies (e.g., Google Analytics) for aggregated usage metrics.
  • Marketing pixels (e.g., Meta, Google Ads) for measuring campaign performance and ad relevance.

For the most current list, consult your browser’s cookie settings or your preferences in our cookie banner (where available).

5. Managing Cookies

You can manage cookies in several ways:

  • Cookie Banner/Preferences: Use the Site’s cookie banner or “Cookie Preferences” link (if shown) to accept, reject, or customize non-essential cookies.
  • Browser Settings: Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. Instructions are typically found under your browser’s Help menu.
  • Opt-Out Tools: For analytics, you can use platform opt-outs (e.g., Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on). For interest-based ads, visit industry opt-outs such as the DAA or NAI (availability may vary).

Note: Blocking certain cookies may impact Site functionality, including the ability to place orders or save preferences.

6. “Do Not Track” and Global Privacy Control

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal, and certain extensions enable a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal. Where technically feasible and legally required, we will endeavor to respect GPC signals as an opt-out preference for “sale”/“sharing” of personal information as defined under California law. Our Site’s handling of DNT signals may vary due to the absence of a common industry standard.

7. California Disclosures (CCPA/CPRA & CalOPPA)

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (as amended by the CPRA), California residents may have rights to know, delete, and correct certain personal information, and to opt out of “sale” or “sharing” of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. We do not “sell” personal information for money. Some advertising/analytics cookies may be considered “sharing” under California law. To manage preferences, use our cookie banner (if available) or contact us as described in the Privacy Policy.

In accordance with CalOPPA, our Privacy Policy includes categories of personal information collected, how it is used, and your choices.

8. Retention

Cookie retention periods vary by cookie type and purpose. Session cookies typically expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain until they expire or are deleted. We retain analytics and advertising data only as long as necessary for the purposes described, in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

9. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, law, or our operations. The “Last updated” date at the top indicates the latest revision. Material changes will be communicated via the Site or by email where appropriate.
