Browser type and version

3. Cookies & Tracking Technologies
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember certain information about your visit — such as your preferences or session details — so that your experience feels consistent and personalized. Cookies do not grant access to your device and cannot read any information beyond what you have shared with us.
Types of Cookies We Use
Cookie Type Purpose Essential Cookies Required for core website functionality. These cannot be disabled without affecting how the site operates. Performance & Analytics Cookies Help us understand how visitors navigate our site by collecting aggregated, anonymized usage data. Preference Cookies Remember your settings and choices to provide a more personalized browsing experience on return visits.
Third-Party Analytics
We may use third-party analytics services such as Google Analytics to help us understand visitor behavior on our website. These services may place their own cookies on your device and collect data in accordance with their own privacy policies. We do not control the data practices of these third-party tools.
Managing Cookies
You may manage or disable cookies at any time through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies, or to be notified before a cookie is set. Please be aware that disabling cookies — particularly essential cookies — may affect the functionality of certain features on our website.
4. Analytics
We use web analytics tools to gain a clearer picture of how guests engage with our website — which pages resonate most, how visitors find us, and where we can improve the experience. The data collected through these tools is aggregated and anonymized wherever possible, meaning it reflects patterns across all visitors rather than identifying any one individual.
The insights we gather are used solely for the purpose of improving our website content, navigation, and overall guest experience. We do not sell any personal data to analytics providers, and we do not use analytics data to make automated decisions about individual users.
5. Form Submissions & Inquiry Data
When you submit a contact form, event inquiry, or reservation request through our website, the information you provide is received by our team and used exclusively to respond to your request and facilitate your experience with Chef Dean Cultural Cuisine.
Data Retention
Inquiry and form submission data is retained for up to three (3) years from the date of submission. This retention period allows us to maintain appropriate records for follow-up communications, event documentation, and service continuity. After this period, data is securely deleted or anonymized.
Use Limitation
Information submitted through forms is used only to fulfill the original purpose of your inquiry. It will not be used for marketing communications unless you have separately provided your consent — for example, by subscribing to our newsletter or mailing list.
6. Email Communications

Clicking this link will immediately remove you from our marketing communications list. You may also request removal by contacting us directly at the email address provided in the Contact Us section of this policy.
Transactional vs. Marketing Emails
Please note that some emails are transactional in nature — such as a confirmation of your event inquiry or a response to a direct question — and are not subject to marketing opt-out preferences. These communications are sent solely in connection with a request you have initiated.
7. Third-Party Services
To deliver the best possible experience, Chef Dean Cultural Cuisine works with a number of trusted third-party service providers. These may include:
Email marketing platforms — such as Mailchimp or Constant Contact, used to manage our newsletter and subscriber lists
Payment processors — for secure handling of deposits or event payments

Social media plugins or integrations — allowing you to connect with us on platforms such as Instagram or Facebook
Web analytics tools — as described in the Analytics section above
Important Notice
Each third-party service provider maintains its own privacy policy and data practices. Chef Dean Cultural Cuisine is not responsible for the privacy practices of these external platforms. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you interact with.

In the Event of a Data Breach
In the unlikely event of a data breach that affects your personal information, Chef Dean Cultural Cuisine is committed to notifying affected individuals in a timely and transparent manner, consistent with applicable legal requirements.
