Cookie Policy

Last Updated: November 4, 2025

This Cookie Policy explains how SOMM.SITE uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website. We believe in transparency about how we collect and use data, and this policy provides detailed information about our use of cookies.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide information to website owners. Cookies can be "persistent" (remaining on your device until deleted or expired) or "session" (deleted when you close your browser).

How We Use Cookies

We use cookies to enhance your experience on our website, understand how you interact with our content, and improve our services. Specifically, we use cookies to:

  • Remember your preferences and settings
  • Understand which pages and features are most popular
  • Analyze website traffic and user behavior patterns
  • Improve website functionality and user experience
  • Maintain security and prevent fraud

Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for our website to function properly. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and accessibility. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information and cannot be disabled in our systems.

Analytics Cookies

We use Google Analytics to collect information about how visitors use our website. These cookies collect information in an anonymous form, including:

  • Number of visitors to the site
  • Pages visited during a session
  • Time spent on each page
  • How visitors arrived at the site (referral sources)
  • General geographic location (city/country level)
  • Device and browser information

This information helps us understand how our website is being used and how we can improve it. Google Analytics does not collect personally identifiable information, and we do not combine analytics data with any other data sources to identify individual users.

Functionality Cookies

These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your username, language preferences, or region) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. They may also be used to provide services you have requested, such as watching a video or commenting on content.

What We Don't Do

It's important to us that you understand what we don't do with cookies:

  • We do not sell your data: We never sell, rent, or trade any data collected through cookies to third parties
  • We do not harvest data for advertising: We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles or target you with ads
  • We do not track across websites: We do not use cookies to track your browsing activity on other websites
  • We do not share with data brokers: We do not share cookie data with data aggregation companies or marketing databases

Google Analytics Specifically

Google Analytics is the only third-party analytics service we use. Google Analytics uses cookies to help us understand website traffic and usage patterns. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.

Google uses this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity for website operators, and provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf.

You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, which prevents your data from being used by Google Analytics.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can set your browser to:

  • Block all cookies
  • Accept only first-party cookies (from the website you're visiting)
  • Prompt you before accepting cookies
  • Delete cookies after each browsing session

Please note that blocking all cookies may impact your ability to use certain features of our website. Essential cookies are necessary for the website to function, while blocking analytics cookies will not affect your browsing experience but will limit our ability to improve the site.

Browser-Specific Instructions

For detailed information on managing cookies in specific browsers:

  • Google Chrome
  • Mozilla Firefox
  • Apple Safari
  • Microsoft Edge

Mobile Device Settings

Mobile devices also allow you to control cookies and tracking through privacy settings. Consult your device manufacturer's instructions for specific guidance on managing cookies on mobile devices.

Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activity tracked. Because there is not yet a common understanding of how to interpret DNT signals, our website does not currently respond to DNT browser signals. We continue to monitor developments in DNT technology and may implement DNT recognition in the future.

Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our business practices. When we make changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
