Cookies & Meters

Our website uses a small number of cookies — short text files stored on your device — to keep pages running smoothly and to measure which sections are most helpful. This page describes how and why they appear.

Essential cookies

These are required for the basic operation of forms and navigation. They remember that you accepted or declined cookies and keep form submissions secure. Disabling them may stop certain features from working, such as message delivery or order confirmation.

Performance meters

We use a lightweight, privacy-respecting analytics tool that counts visits without identifying individuals. It records page titles, timestamps, and general device types (e.g., mobile or desktop). No IP addresses are stored or shared. Data helps us understand which pages need improvement.

Consent choices

When you first visit, you will see a small banner called the “cheesetray.” It allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can change this decision at any time by clearing cookies in your browser or revisiting this page.

Third-party content

We avoid embedded social media or external advertising scripts. Our pages are served without tracking pixels. Links to external creamery partners open in new tabs and follow their own policies.

Retention

Cookie data for preferences lasts no longer than six months unless you visit again, which resets the period. Analytical summaries are stored anonymously for a similar duration.

Managing cookies

Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through settings. Doing so will not affect your ability to browse most of our content. Instructions differ by browser, but the principle is the same — remove stored data and refresh.
