Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to website operators.

In addition to cookies, websites may also use similar technologies such as pixels, tags, and local storage to collect and store information about how visitors use the site.

How We Use Cookies

The Beignets & Brew website may use cookies and similar technologies to improve your browsing experience, understand how visitors interact with our website, and maintain basic website functionality.

Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. They enable basic features such as page navigation, security, and access to certain parts of the website. The website cannot function properly without these cookies.

Analytics / Performance Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting information such as page visits, traffic sources, and general user behavior. This information is aggregated and used to improve how our website functions and performs.

These services only run if you accept them. When you first visit our website, a consent banner asks whether you accept analytics cookies. None of the services below load, set cookies, or collect any information unless you choose “Accept.”

We use the following analytics services on our website:

• Google Analytics: Collects information such as pages visited, time on site, and traffic sources. Governed by the Google Privacy Policy.
• Vercel Analytics & Speed Insights: Collects aggregated website performance and visitor data to help us improve site speed and experience. Governed by the Vercel Privacy Policy.
• Microsoft Clarity: We partner with Microsoft Clarity to capture how you use and interact with our website through behavioral metrics, heatmaps, and session replay. Website usage data is captured using first and third-party cookies and other tracking technologies. For more information, visit the Microsoft Privacy Statement.

This information is used for website analytics purposes and does not directly identify individual visitors.

Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on our website may be set by third-party services that we use to support website functionality. These may include services such as:

• Mapping services (such as Google Maps)
• Online ordering or gift card platforms
• Shopify (for merchandise purchasing on our Merch page)
• Embedded media
• Analytics providers (Google Analytics, Vercel, Microsoft Clarity)

These cookies are controlled by the respective third-party providers and are subject to their own privacy and cookie policies.

Cookies We Set

The table below lists the main cookies that may be set when you use our website. Analytics cookies are only set if you accept them through our consent banner.

Third-party services you choose to interact with (such as Shopify on our Merch page, or embedded contact and franchise forms) may set their own cookies, governed by those providers’ policies.

Managing Cookies

You can change your cookie choice at any time by clicking Cookie Preferences in the footer of any page. Declining removes analytics cookies we control and stops analytics tools from loading.

Most web browsers also allow you to control cookies through their settings. These options are typically found in the Options, Preferences, or Settings menu of your browser.

You can usually choose to:

• Block all cookies
• Accept all cookies
• Block third-party cookies
• Delete cookies when you close your browser
• Browse in a “private” or “incognito” session

Please note that blocking or deleting cookies may affect certain features or functionality of the website.

Opting Out of Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity

Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity do not run on our website unless you accept them through our consent banner, and you can withdraw that consent at any time using the Cookie Preferences link in the footer.

Independently of our website, you can also install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on or manage Microsoft data settings at Microsoft Privacy Choice. For more information, see the Microsoft Privacy Statement.

Your Consent

When you first visit our website, a consent banner asks whether you accept the use of analytics cookies. Analytics and session-recording tools are not loaded, and no analytics cookies are set, unless you choose “Accept.” Your choice is stored in a single first-party cookie so we don’t ask again on every visit.

You can change or withdraw your choice at any time by clicking Cookie Preferences in the footer of any page.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. When updates are made, the “Last updated” date at the top of this page will be revised.
