1. About this policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Solvarissabistro Limited, 85 Victoria Street West, Auckland 1010, New Zealand, uses cookies, local storage and related browser technologies on this website.
It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal information more generally.
2. What cookies are
Cookies are small text records that a website can ask a browser to store and return. They are commonly used to maintain essential sessions, remember preferences, support security or measure how a service is used. Similar functions can also be provided through local storage or other browser-managed storage.
3. Our current approach
We have designed this website to operate with a minimal technology footprint. We do not intentionally embed third-party advertising networks, behavioural profiling tools or third-party analytics tags in the current version of the site.
Where browser storage is used, it is limited to functions such as remembering an interface or consent preference. A hosting provider may also use strictly necessary technical mechanisms to deliver and secure the website.
4. Strictly necessary technologies
Strictly necessary technologies support functions that a user requests or that are required to deliver the service securely and reliably. Depending on hosting configuration, these may support security controls, traffic routing, load management, fraud prevention or basic preference persistence.
Where a technology is strictly necessary, consent may not be required under applicable rules, but we still aim to keep its scope and duration proportionate to the purpose.
5. Preference storage
Preference storage can remember a choice you make so that the website does not need to ask for it repeatedly. When used, preference information is intended to be limited to the choice itself and not combined into a behavioural advertising profile.
6. Analytics
The current website does not intentionally deploy third-party analytics cookies. If we later introduce analytics, we will update this policy and, where required, obtain consent before non-essential analytics storage is set or accessed.
7. Advertising and profiling
The current website does not intentionally use third-party advertising cookies, cross-site behavioural advertising tags or marketing profiling pixels. If this changes, the policy and any relevant consent controls will be updated before such non-essential technologies are used where consent is required.
8. Reservation and contact forms
Submitting a website form does not require an advertising identifier. Information entered into a form is handled for the purposes described in the Privacy Policy. The form interface itself may use temporary in-page state to display a confirmation message after submission.
9. Server logs are not necessarily cookies
A web server may automatically create request logs when a browser asks for a page. These logs can include technical details such as request time, page path, IP address, response code and browser information. Server logs are different from cookies stored in your browser, although both may involve information relevant to privacy and security.
10. Managing browser storage
Most browsers allow you to view, block or delete cookies and site data through browser settings. Blocking all storage may affect functions that depend on remembering a preference or maintaining a secure session. The exact controls vary by browser and device.
11. Consent where GDPR applies
Where GDPR and related electronic-communications rules apply, we seek consent before using non-essential storage or access technologies when consent is legally required. Consent should be freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous, and should be as easy to withdraw as to give.
12. Changes in technology
If we add a service that introduces new cookies or similar technologies, we will review the purpose, legal basis, data recipients, retention period and any consent requirement. We will update this policy when the change is material.
13. Retention
The duration of browser storage depends on its purpose. Session technologies generally expire when the browsing session ends, while a limited preference may persist longer so the preference can be remembered. We aim not to keep identifiers longer than reasonably necessary for their stated purpose.
14. Third-party websites
If you leave our website and use an independent third-party service, that service may use its own cookies or storage under its own policies. This Cookie Policy does not control storage placed by an independent website that you choose to visit separately.
15. Your privacy rights
Where cookie or storage data identifies or can reasonably be linked to you, rights described in our Privacy Policy may apply. These can include New Zealand access and correction rights and, where GDPR applies, rights such as access, erasure, restriction or objection subject to legal conditions and exceptions.
