1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, tablet, or smartphone by websites that you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide transaction memories and analytics to the website owners.
In the physical Café Lamhey, our baristas recognize your face and remember that you love an Espresso Macchiato with a dash of warm oat milk. In the digital world, cookies perform a similar role: they remember your selections so you do not have to retype them.
2. Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies to improve your digital journey on our platform. Without cookies, key functionalities of our website would not be possible:
- Cart Retention: When you browse our shop and add specialty coffee beans, cups, or workspace tiers to your cart, cookies make sure they stay in your cart as you navigate between pages.
- Workspace Bookings: To select a seat and check out, cookies store temporary reservation coordinates so that our Flask backend maps your booking details precisely.
- Secure Payments: Integration with Razorpay uses secure tokens and identifiers stored in cookies to verify that your transaction is authentic and prevent fraud.
3. Categories of Cookies
We group our cookies into the following categories:
- Essential Cookies: Critical for website navigation, user login sessions for bloggers, and cart functionalities. These cannot be disabled as the website will cease to function correctly.
- Functional Cookies: Enhance user experiences by remembering preferences like your contact form choices or cart quantity settings.
