You can control and/or delete cookies as you wish. You can delete all cookies that are already on your device and you can set most browsers to prevent them from being placed. However, if you do this, you may have to manually adjust some preferences every time you visit a site, and some services and functionalities may not work.
How to manage cookies in popular browsers:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Cookies and website data
- Edge: Settings → Privacy, search, and services → Cookies and site permissions
6.2 Cookie Consent Management
[PLACEHOLDER: If you implement a cookie consent banner, describe how users can manage their preferences through it.

7. Cookies and Personal Data
Some cookies we use may collect personal data. For information about how we process personal data collected through cookies, please see our Privacy Policy.
Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other applicable privacy laws, you have rights regarding your personal data. For more information about your rights and how to exercise them, please refer to our Privacy Policy.
8. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Currently, there is no standard for how DNT signals should be interpreted. As a result, many websites, including Cheffl, do not currently respond to DNT signals.
[PLACEHOLDER: If you plan to honor DNT signals, update this section to reflect that. For example: "We respect DNT signals and will not track users who have enabled DNT in their browsers."]
