suga•küchen | Last updated: May 2026
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how suga•küchen uses them on our website (sugakuchen.co.uk), and the choices available to you. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides further information about how we handle your personal data.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device — your computer, tablet, or mobile phone — when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to website owners about how their site is being used.
Cookies do not contain executable code and cannot access other information on your device. They can only be read by the website that created them or, in the case of third-party cookies, by the relevant third-party provider.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies to:
- Ensure the website functions correctly and securely
- Understand how visitors navigate and use our website, so we can improve it
- Remember your preferences on return visits
- Analyse the performance of our content and marketing activity via Google Analytics
- Load embedded content from third-party platforms such as Instagram
3. Types of Cookies We Use
We use four categories of cookies on our website:
Essential Cookies
These are strictly necessary for the website to operate. Without them, core functions such as page navigation and secure areas of the site would not work. Essential cookies do not require your consent and cannot be switched off.
Analytics Cookies
We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) and Google Tag Manager to collect anonymised data about how visitors interact with our website — including which pages are visited, how long is spent on each page, and how visitors arrive at the site. This information helps us improve the website experience. No personally identifiable information is captured.
IP anonymisation is enabled, which means your full IP address is not stored or processed by Google. Analytics cookies are only placed with your consent.
Preference Cookies
These cookies remember choices you have made — such as your cookie consent preferences — so that you are not asked repeatedly on return visits. They are set with your consent.
Third-Party Cookies
Some pages on our website display embedded content from third-party platforms, including Instagram. When this content loads, those platforms may set their own cookies on your device. We do not control these cookies and recommend reviewing the relevant platform’s privacy and cookie policies for further information.

5. Your Consent
When you first visit our website, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner. This gives you the opportunity to accept or decline non-essential cookies before any are placed on your device. Essential cookies are set automatically as they are necessary for the site to function.
Your consent preferences are remembered via a preference cookie so that you are not asked again on subsequent visits. You may change your preferences at any time by clicking the cookie settings link in the footer of our website.
