Cookie Policy

We believe in being transparent about how we collect information through saivatore.org. This policy explains what tracking technologies we use and why.

Last Updated: January 2026

What Are Cookies Anyway?

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device when you visit. Think of them as digital sticky notes that help websites remember things about your visit.

Most websites use them. They're what keep you logged in when you navigate between pages, remember items in your shopping cart, and help site owners understand which pages people actually find useful.

At Salvatore, we use cookies to make your browsing experience better and to understand how people interact with our celebration food decoration services.

How We Use Tracking Technologies

We use several types of tracking on saivatore.org. Each serves a specific purpose, and honestly, some are more critical than others.

Essential Cookies

These keep the site functioning. Without them, you wouldn't be able to navigate properly or use basic features like our contact forms.

Duration: Session-based

Functional Cookies

These remember your preferences—like if you've already seen our welcome message or which service category you were browsing.

Duration: Up to 12 months

Analytics Cookies

We use these to see which pages get the most visits and where people tend to drop off. It helps us improve the site over time.

Duration: Up to 24 months

Marketing Cookies

These track whether you came from an advertisement or social media post. They help us understand which marketing efforts actually work.

Duration: Up to 13 months

Specific Cookies We Use

Here's a detailed breakdown of the actual cookies you might encounter on our site. We try to keep this list current, but technology changes quickly.

Why This Actually Matters for Your Experience

Some people wonder why we bother with all this tracking. Fair question.

Better Service Recommendations

When we know which celebration decoration styles you've looked at, we can suggest related services that might interest you. If you spent time browsing birthday cake decorations, you probably don't want to wade through our entire portfolio to find similar options.

Faster Site Performance

Cookies help us load pages faster by storing certain elements locally on your device. Instead of downloading the same information every time you visit a new page, your browser can pull it from cache.

Actual Site Improvements

Analytics data shows us what's working and what isn't. Last year, we noticed that visitors were having trouble finding our contact information on mobile devices. The data helped us identify and fix that problem quickly.

Real example: In early 2026, our analytics showed that most people left the site after viewing our sustainability page. We investigated and found the page was loading slowly due to unoptimized images. We fixed it within a week.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have control over which cookies you accept. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings.

Keep in mind that blocking essential cookies will probably break some site functionality. If you can't submit our contact form or navigate properly, check your cookie settings first.

Third-Party Cookies

We work with some external services that set their own cookies. These include analytics platforms and occasionally advertising networks.

We don't have direct control over these third-party cookies. Each service has its own privacy policy that explains how they handle your data.

Services We Currently Use

  • Analytics platform for traffic measurement and user behavior analysis
  • Email service provider for newsletter management and communication
  • Social media plugins that may track interactions with embedded content
  • Payment processor cookies during checkout (if you book services online)

These services update their tracking methods regularly. We review our third-party partnerships at least twice a year to make sure they align with our privacy standards.

Data Retention and Your Rights

We don't keep cookie data indefinitely. Different types of information have different retention periods based on how we use them.

Session Cookies

These disappear as soon as you close your browser. They're temporary by design and don't create any long-term tracking profile.

Persistent Cookies

These stick around for a set period—anywhere from a few days to two years, depending on their purpose. Once they expire, they're automatically deleted from your device.

Analytics Data

We aggregate analytics data, which means individual visitor information gets combined into general trends. After 26 months, even this aggregated data gets archived or deleted.

You can request information about what data we've collected about you or ask us to delete it. Send requests to help@saivatore.org with "Data Request" in the subject line.

Updates to This Policy

Technology changes. Privacy regulations evolve. So does our approach to tracking and cookies.

We update this policy when we add new tracking tools or change how we use existing ones. Major changes get announced through our newsletter and posted prominently on the site.

The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page shows when we last made changes. We recommend checking back occasionally if you're concerned about privacy.

Still Have Questions?

Cookie policies can get complicated. If something here doesn't make sense or you want more details about how we handle your information, just reach out.
