5. Legal Basis & New York Privacy Considerations

As a business operating in New York, we strive to be transparent about how we collect and use information, including through cookies. Our use of cookies is part of our broader privacy and data-security compliance program, which includes reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the personal information we process in line with New York’s SHIELD Act and other applicable U.S. laws on data security and breach notification.

Where cookies involve the collection of personal information, we rely on:

Our legitimate interests – for essential and certain functional cookies that are necessary to operate our Site and provide services requested by you.
Your consent – for non-essential cookies such as analytics, marketing, and certain third-party cookies. Consent is obtained and recorded through the WPConsent banner and preferences panel.

If you access our Site from jurisdictions with specific cookie or privacy requirements (e.g., the EU/EEA, UK, or California), our use of WPConsent is intended to help align our practices with applicable global privacy frameworks such as GDPR and CCPA, but it does not replace professional legal advice.

6. How WPConsent Manages Your Cookie Choices

We use the WPConsent plugin to:

Display a cookie banner and preferences panel where you can accept, reject, or customize cookie categories.
Automatically block certain non-essential cookies (such as analytics and marketing scripts) until you provide consent.
Maintain a record of your consent status, where applicable.
Generate and keep up-to-date the cookie list shown on this page.

When you first visit our Site, you will see a banner that allows you to:

Accept all cookies
Reject non-essential cookies (where available)
Manage preferences by enabling or disabling specific categories of cookies

You can update or withdraw your consent at any time by revisiting the cookie banner or preferences link (typically shown as “Cookie Settings”, “Privacy Settings”, or similar) in the footer or menu of our Site.

Set preferences for certain websites.

Please note that blocking or deleting cookies—especially essential cookies—may impact the functionality of our Site and some features may not work properly (for example, shopping carts, login sessions, or embedded content).

Web analytics services (e.g., for traffic and usage statistics);
Advertising networks and social media platforms;
Online ordering, reservation, or payment providers;
Embedded content (such as maps, videos, or widgets).

Third-party providers may use cookies independently from us and may act as separate data controllers. We encourage you to review the privacy and cookie policies of these providers for more information about their practices.

9. Data Retention

The duration for which cookies remain on your device varies:

Session cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser.
Persistent cookies remain on your device for the period specified in the cookie itself, or until you delete them via your browser settings or our preferences panel.

Specific retention periods for each cookie are shown in the cookie table generated by WPConsent above.
