When we mention “Gü Indulgent Foods Ltd”, “we”, “us” or “our” in this Privacy Notice, we are referring to the relevant company responsible for controlling your personal data. All personal data you provide may be transferred or accessed by any Gü Indulgent Foods Ltd entity in any jurisdiction. If you are a resident of a European Economic Area which is deemed to include the UK (“EEA”), Gü Indulgent Foods Ltd is the controller and responsible for any personal data they collect regarding EEA residents. We use cookies and similar tools on our website, to improve their performance and enhance your user experience. This policy explains how we do that.

What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files which a website may put on your computer or mobile device when you first visit a site or page. The cookie will help the website, or another website, to recognise your device the next time you visit. We use the term “cookies” in this policy to refer to all files that collect information in this way (including pixels summarised below).
There are many functions cookies serve. For example, they can help us to remember your username and preferences, analyse how well the website is performing, or even allow us to recommend content we believe will be most relevant to you.
Certain cookies contain personal information – for example, if you click to “remember me” when logging in, a cookie will store your user identifier. Most cookies will not collect information that identifies you, but will instead collect more general information such as how users arrive at and use the website.
What is a pixel?
Tracking pixels are transparent graphic images (sometimes called web beacons or tracking beacons) that are placed on certain pages of our website. A tracking pixel collects certain electronic information from your webpage’s header, such as your IP address or browser and your location, which may be forwarded to an advertising platform for the purpose of providing advertising to you that is based on your personal interests. We also use tracking pixels provided by certain tools to allow us to see how you interact with our email marketing or website e.g. to determine whether a recipient opened the email or accessed a certain link.

At the date of the last update of this Cookie Policy, the list below represents a comprehensive list of all cookies set on the website, but please note that the cookies we use are subject to fairly frequent change. The purposes of the cookies in use, as described below will not change without this policy being updated. However we may not update this policy every time the identity of a particular cookie or the party setting the cookie changes.
