Cookie Policy

1. Introduction

("we", "us" or "our") operates the website savorellatable.com (the "Site") on behalf of Savorella Table Restaurant, located in Auckland, New Zealand. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar storage technologies are, how we use them on the Site, what choices you have regarding their use, and how you can exercise those choices.

This Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which sets out the broader framework under which we process personal data collected through the Site. Together, these documents reflect our obligations under the Privacy Act 2020 (New Zealand) and any other applicable data-protection legislation.

We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we deploy. Where a category of cookie or similar technology is described as optional, it is set to off by default and will not be activated unless and until you provide your explicit consent through our consent management tool.

2. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?

A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your device (computer, tablet or mobile phone) when you visit. The file is stored in your browser and allows the website to recognise your device on subsequent visits or as you navigate between pages.

In addition to cookies, websites may use related storage technologies, including:

• Session storage and local storage — areas within your browser that hold data for the duration of a browsing session or persistently, respectively.
• Pixel tags and web beacons — small transparent images embedded in web pages or emails that register when a page or message has been viewed.
• Scripts — short pieces of code that run in your browser and may set or read storage values.

Throughout this Policy, references to "cookies" include all such similar technologies unless we state otherwise.

3. Types of Cookies by Duration

Cookies are commonly classified by how long they remain on your device:

4. Categories of Cookies We Use

We organise the cookies used on the Site into four functional categories. The legal basis and consent requirement for each category differ, as set out below.

4.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the Site to function correctly. Without them, core features such as page navigation, secure form submission, session management and load balancing cannot operate. Because they are technically required, strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent and cannot be switched off through our consent tool.

Examples of functions performed by strictly necessary cookies include:

• Maintaining a secure session as you move between pages.
• Storing your consent preferences so we do not repeat the consent request on every page load.
• Enabling server-side load balancing to distribute traffic efficiently.
• Preventing cross-site request forgery by issuing and validating security tokens.

4.2 Functional (Preference) Cookies

Functional cookies remember choices you make to improve your experience on the Site, such as your preferred language, region settings or display preferences. They are not essential to basic navigation but enhance usability in a way that is closely related to delivering the service you have requested.

These cookies are optional. They remain off until you accept them through our consent management tool. If you do not accept them, the Site will still function, but some personalisation features may not be available and certain preferences may need to be re-entered on each visit.

4.3 Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies collect information about how visitors use the Site — for example, which pages are visited most often, how long visitors spend on each page, and where visitors come from before arriving at the Site. The data collected is aggregated and used solely to help us understand Site performance and improve our digital offering.

These cookies are optional. They are switched off by default and are only activated if you give your consent. Where third-party analytics services are involved, data may be processed by those third parties in accordance with their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for the practices of third-party service providers beyond the contractual obligations we impose on them (see Section 7 below).

4.4 Marketing and Targeting Cookies

Marketing cookies may be used to deliver promotional content that is relevant to your interests, to limit how often you see a particular message, and to measure the effectiveness of promotional campaigns. They may record your visit to the Site, the pages you viewed, and the links you followed.

These cookies are optional. They are switched off by default and will only be placed on your device if you explicitly consent via our consent management tool. Declining marketing cookies will not affect your access to any part of the Site.

5. Cookie Information Table

The table below provides an overview of the categories of cookies that may be present on the Site, their purposes, the party setting them, and their approximate duration. Specific cookie names and expiry periods may vary as the Site is updated.

6. Your Consent and How We Obtain It

When you first visit the Site, you will be presented with a consent management banner. This banner clearly identifies each optional cookie category and invites you to accept or decline each one individually. You may also choose to accept all optional categories at once or reject all of them.

Strictly necessary cookies are activated automatically because they are technically required to deliver the Site. All other categories remain disabled until and unless you grant consent. Your consent choices are recorded and respected on subsequent visits for as long as your consent record remains valid.

You may revisit and update your consent preferences at any time by accessing the Cookie Settings link available in the footer of the Site. Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it, and withdrawal will take effect promptly. It does not affect the lawfulness of any processing that occurred on the basis of your consent before you withdrew it.

Where you are under the age of 18, please be aware that our casino facilities and certain aspects of this Site are restricted to persons aged 18 years and over. If you are under 18, you should not provide consent or submit personal data through this Site.

7. Third-Party Cookies and Responsibility

Certain cookies on the Site may be set by third-party service providers rather than directly by . These third parties operate independently and have their own privacy and cookie policies, which govern how they collect, use and share data obtained through their technologies.

We take reasonable steps to ensure that any third-party providers whose cookies are permitted on the Site are contractually bound to process data only in accordance with our instructions, applicable law and appropriate data-protection standards. However, once data has been transferred to a third-party provider, we are not responsible for that provider's own independent data-processing activities beyond what is required by those contractual obligations.

We encourage you to review the privacy and cookie policies of any third-party providers whose cookies you accept. Where optional third-party cookies are concerned, you retain the ability to decline consent entirely through our consent management tool, which will prevent those third-party cookies from being activated.

The Site may contain links to external websites operated by parties other than . This Cookie Policy does not apply to those external sites. We have no control over and accept no responsibility for the cookie practices of third-party websites, and we encourage you to read their respective cookie and privacy notices.

8. Browser-Level Cookie Controls

In addition to the choices available through our consent management tool, most web browsers provide built-in controls that allow you to view, manage, block or delete cookies stored on your device. The precise steps depend on the browser you use, but the following guidance provides a starting point:

• Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data.
• Mozilla Firefox: Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data.
• Apple Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data.
• Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data.

You can also clear all cookies already stored on your device through your browser's history or privacy settings. Please be aware that deleting or blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect the functionality of the Site, and you may be required to re-enter information or preferences on each visit.

Browser-level controls operate independently of our consent management tool. Adjusting browser settings may not reflect the preferences you have registered with us through the Site banner. For the most consistent experience, we recommend managing your preferences through our consent tool as well as your browser settings.

9. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers transmit "Do Not Track" signals to websites. At present, there is no universally agreed standard for how websites should respond to such signals. Our Site does not currently alter its data collection practices in response to Do Not Track signals from browsers. You may use our consent management tool to exercise equivalent choices over optional cookie categories.

10. Personal Data Processed Through Cookies

Some cookies may process information that constitutes personal data under the Privacy Act 2020, such as IP addresses or browser identifiers that can, alone or in combination, be used to identify an individual. Where cookies process personal data, that processing is subject to our full Privacy Policy in addition to this Cookie Policy.

We do not use cookies to knowingly collect special-category personal data, nor do we use cookies to make automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects about you.

11. Retention of Consent Records

We retain a record of the consent preferences you register through our consent management tool. This record allows us to respect your choices consistently across sessions and to demonstrate compliance with our consent obligations. Consent records are stored for a period commensurate with the cookie categories to which they relate and are subject to the retention periods described in our Privacy Policy.

If you clear your browser cookies, your consent record stored in browser-level storage will be erased. In that case, our consent banner will reappear on your next visit so that you can register your preferences again.

12. Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the technologies we use, the purposes for which we use them, or applicable legal requirements. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you through the Site or other reasonable means.

We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies. Continued use of the Site following the publication of an updated Cookie Policy constitutes acknowledgement of the changes, provided that any renewed consent required for optional categories will be sought through our consent management tool.
