Cookie Policy

1. Purpose

This Cookie Policy explains how The Capital Coffee website uses cookies, local storage and similar technologies. This page is authoritative regarding cookies; broader matters concerning personal data are governed by the Privacy Policy.

2. What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small data file stored on—or read from—the browser or device by a website or online service to maintain sessions, remember choices, or support other functions. Some technologies perform similar roles to cookies but are stored differently, for example local storage.

3. Categories of technologies that may be used

Session cookies: exist only for the duration of the visit and are typically deleted when the browser is closed.
Persistent cookies: remain for a defined period or until the user deletes them.
Local storage or similar local client-side storage technologies.
Third‑party technologies loaded when the website integrates the corresponding service, if configured and lawful.

4. Necessary cookies

Necessary cookies support core functions such as session management, security, shopping cart and checkout, load balancing, and remembering technical state or privacy choices. Completely blocking this category may cause the website or purchasing functions to malfunction.

5. Functional cookies

Functional cookies can remember preferences such as language, region, interface options or other settings that make the website more convenient to use. If a user refuses this category, some preferences may not be retained between visits.

6. Analytics and measurement cookies

If the website activates analytics tools, cookies or similar technologies may be used to understand traffic, pages viewed, technical errors and overall performance. Non‑essential tools should be activated only via an opt‑in mechanism and on an appropriate legal basis.

7. Advertising or marketing cookies

If in the future the website uses advertising, remarketing or campaign measurement technologies, The Capital Coffee will classify them separately and provide an appropriate choice before activation where required by law. The fact that the website does not currently use a specific tool should not be interpreted to mean that the tool is active merely because it is mentioned in this policy.

8. Third-party services

Some features—such as maps, embedded video, social media, payment services or analytics—may be provided by third parties. These services may set or read cookies when the feature is loaded or when the user interacts. The actual catalogue of such technologies should be verified against the website configuration and the Cookie Consent Manager; a fixed list should not be published if not deployed.

9. Managing cookie choices

When the website provides a Cookie Banner or Preference Center, users can accept or refuse non‑essential cookie categories and may change their choices later. Necessary cookies may remain active because they serve functions requested by the user or are required for the security of the website.

10. Managing cookies in the browser

Most browsers allow viewing, deleting or blocking cookies. The procedure depends on the browser and device. Blocking necessary cookies may prevent the shopping cart, login, checkout or other functions from working correctly.

11. Retention periods

The lifetime of a cookie depends on its type, purpose and technical configuration. Session cookies typically expire at the end of the session; persistent cookies have defined durations. When deploying a Cookie Preference Center, The Capital Coffee should display the actual cookie catalogue, providers, purposes and durations in the management panel or a technical appendix that is updated automatically.

12. Cookies and personal data

A cookie may not directly contain a name or email address, but technical information linked to a cookie can become personal data when associated with an identifiable individual or device. In such cases, processing is carried out in accordance with the Privacy Policy and applicable data protection law.

13. Changes to the Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy may be updated when the website adds or removes technologies, changes providers or when the law changes. The update date and new version will be published on this page.
