What Are Cookies and Tracking Technologies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit battonrouge.com. These files help us remember your preferences and improve your browsing experience. We also use similar technologies like web beacons, pixels, and local storage to collect information about how you interact with our culinary creativity platform.
Think of cookies as digital sticky notes that help websites remember things about you – like your language preference or items in your shopping cart. They're completely harmless files that can't access other information on your device or install software.
Types of Tracking We Use
Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for battonrouge.com to function properly. They enable core features like security, network management, and accessibility. These cannot be switched off.
Functional Cookies
These enhance your experience by remembering your preferences, such as recipe favorites, dietary restrictions, and regional cuisine interests you've selected.
Analytical Cookies
We use these to understand how visitors engage with our ethnic cuisine content, which cooking tutorials are most popular, and how to improve our platform.
Marketing Cookies
These track your activity across websites to show you relevant advertisements about cooking classes, culinary events, and ethnic cuisine experiences.
How Tracking Enhances Your Experience
- Remembering which ethnic cuisines you're most interested in exploring
- Saving your progress through our cooking tutorial series
- Personalizing recipe recommendations based on your dietary preferences
- Keeping track of cooking classes you've bookmarked for future reference
- Showing you relevant content about Canadian multicultural food events
- Improving our platform based on which features you use most frequently
Without these tracking technologies, you'd need to re-enter your preferences every time you visit, and we couldn't provide the personalized culinary journey that makes Baton Rouge unique.
