Cookie Policy
This policy explains how Brooklyn Hotdog uses cookies and similar technologies on brooklynhotdog.com, what each type does, and how you can control them. It should be read together with our privacy policy, which covers the personal information we handle when you contact us or browse the site.

What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember information between page loads, such as your preferences or whether you have already seen a notice. Similar technologies, including local storage, work in comparable ways and are covered by the same choices described on this page.
Why the distinction matters
Some cookies keep the site working at all, while others only tell us how the site is being read. Knowing which is which helps you decide what to keep switched on. Declining the optional ones changes nothing about the articles, guides and brand profiles you can open on this site.
Cookies on this site do not identify you by name and are not used to build a profile of you across other websites.
Categories we use
We use strictly necessary cookies to operate the site and keep it secure. We use analytics cookies to understand which pages are read and how visitors move through the site. Where required, we use preference cookies to remember choices you have made. Each category is described below, with what it does and whether you can decline it.
Strictly necessary
Required for the site to function. They support basic features such as page navigation and security. They cannot be switched off through the site's controls because the site cannot operate properly without them.
Always active
Analytics
Help us see which articles are read and where readers leave. The data is used in aggregate to improve coverage and page structure. These cookies are optional, and you can decline them without losing access to any content.
Optional
Preference
Remember choices you have made, such as a reading preference or a dismissed notice, so you do not have to set them again on your next visit. Where required by local rules, these are only set after you agree to them.
Optional
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are required for the site to function. They support basic features such as page navigation and security, and they keep a page stable while it loads. They cannot be switched off through the site's controls because the site cannot operate properly without them.
If you block them in your browser, some parts of brooklynhotdog.com may not display as intended. That trade-off is yours to make, and the rest of this page explains how to do it.
In practice
You will still be able to read every article, guide and brand profile on this site. What changes is how smoothly pages load and how reliably a session is held together while you browse.
Optional category
Analytics cookies
Analytics cookies help us see which articles are read and where readers leave. The data is used in aggregate to improve coverage and page structure, so we can tell whether a guide answered the question a reader arrived with. These cookies are optional, and you can decline them without losing access to any content.
What we look at is broad rather than personal: which pages are opened most, which sections readers scroll through, and where people tend to stop. We do not use analytics to follow you to other websites, and we do not sell what we learn.
- What they record
- Pages viewed, time on page, and the path a reader takes through the site, grouped together rather than traced back to one person.
- What they never do
- They are not used to identify you, to build an advertising profile, or to change what you can read on the site.
Managing cookies
You can control cookies through your browser settings, including deleting existing cookies and blocking future ones. Most browsers provide instructions in their help section. Blocking all cookies may affect how parts of the site work, so if something looks wrong after a change, try allowing the strictly necessary category again.
Review what is stored
Your browser can list the cookies and site data saved by brooklynhotdog.com. Looking through that list is the quickest way to see what is active before you change anything.
Clear what you no longer want
Deleting stored data removes the preferences and notice states we saved. You will be asked again the next time you visit, and the site will rebuild its necessary records automatically.
Block new ones
Most browsers let you refuse cookies from all sites or from selected ones. Blocking everything is a valid choice; it simply means the site cannot remember choices between visits.
Third-party services
Some cookies may be set by service providers that host the site or supply analytics. These providers process data according to their own policies. We do not control the cookies they set, and we recommend reviewing their documentation if you want more detail before you decide.
Hosting and measurement providers work to their own published terms
Changes and contact
We may update this policy as our use of cookies changes. The current version is always published on this page, and the date at the top of the page tells you when it last changed. If a change affects the choices available to you, we will describe it here rather than in a separate notice.
Questions about this policy
Questions can be sent through the contact page or by post to the address below. If you would like to read how we handle personal information more generally, the privacy policy covers that in full.
