4. Cookies and Website Analytics

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to support basic website operation, remember preferences, understand website usage, measure performance and improve the visitor experience.

Third-party services used for website hosting, security, analytics, embedded content, forms or spam prevention may also place or access cookies according to their own privacy policies.

You may be able to control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect the operation of some website features.

5. Payment Information

If online or electronic payments are made available, payment information may be processed by a third-party payment provider. Cookery Events may receive transaction details, such as payment status, amount and billing contact information, without receiving or storing complete payment-card numbers.

Payment providers process information according to their own terms and privacy policies.

6. How Information May Be Shared

Cookery Events does not sell personal information in exchange for money. We may share information when reasonably necessary with:

• Website hosting, form, email, security, analytics and technology providers.
• Venues, rental suppliers, event professionals and outside vendors involved in fulfilling your requested services.
• Payment processors, accountants, insurers and professional advisers.
• Government authorities or other parties when required by law or necessary to protect legal rights and safety.
• A successor organization involved in a merger, acquisition, financing or sale of business assets.

We seek to provide service providers and vendors only with information reasonably necessary for their role.

7. Data Retention

We may retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to inquiries, provide contracted services, maintain business records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements and satisfy legal, tax, insurance and accounting obligations.

8. Information Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information. However, no website, internet transmission or electronic-storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Please avoid sending highly sensitive information through an ordinary website contact form or unsecured email.

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights concerning personal information, including the ability to request access, correction or deletion, or to object to certain uses.

You may unsubscribe from promotional emails by using the unsubscribe method included in the message or by contacting us. Operational messages concerning an active inquiry or event may still be sent when necessary.
