COOKIE POLICY
A cookie is a small text file containing information that a website transfers to your computer’s hard disk for record-keeping purposes and allows us to analyse our site traffic patterns. And we are sorry to say that it does not contain chocolate chips, you cannot eat it and there is no special hidden jar.
We use four types of cookies, which we describe in this section. You can also find a full list of all different first and third-party cookies that we use in the list below.
-
Essential cookies. These are cookies that are essential for the operation of our website. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to log into secure areas of our website, use our shopping cart or make use of e-billing services.
-
Performance cookies. These help us to improve the way our website works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily. We also use third-party cookies to help with performance. For example, the Google Analytics cookie gives us information that allows us to recognise and count the number of visitors to our website and to see how visitors move around our website when they are using it.
-
Functionality cookies (inc. social media). These are used to recognise you when you return to our website. This enables us to personalise our content for you, greet you by name (if you have a cookingwithnoodles.com account) and remember your preferences. A mix of first-party and third-party cookies are used. For example, we use some social sharing plugins, to allow you to share certain pages of our website on social networks or to log in to cookingwithnoodles.com.
-
Targeting/advertising cookies. These third-party cookies record your visit to our website, the pages you have visited and the links you have followed. Our advertising partners use this information to make our website and the advertising displayed on it more relevant to your interests.
There are times when we want to reach Noodles’s fans who use social media to market our own products and services to them. We use cookies to help with this. For example, we place a pixel on our web pages that allows Facebook to place cookies on web browsers. When a cookingwithnoodles.com visitor who uses Facebook returns to Facebook, Facebook can identify them as part of a group of cookingwithnoodles.com and serve them with marketing messages from us. The data that can be obtained from a visit to the cookingwithnoodles.com is limited to the URL of the pages that have been visited, together with the limited information a browser might pass on, such as its IP address. If you are a Facebook user you can opt out by following the link below.
Because the online data collected through cookies and similar technology is shared with our advertising partners, when you are on another website, you may be shown advertising based on your browsing patterns on cookingwithnoodles.com. We may also show you advertising on cookingwithnoodles.com based on your browsing patterns on other sites that we have obtained from our advertising partners.
How long will cookies stay on my device?
The length of time a cookie will stay on your computer or mobile device depends on whether it is a "persistent" or "session" cookie. Session cookies will only stay on your device until you stop browsing. Persistent cookies stay on your computer or mobile device until they expire or are deleted.

If you are primarily concerned about third party cookies generated by advertisers, you can turn these off by going to the Your Online Choices site. You can also visit the trade body representing these advertising platforms for more information: Network Advertising Initiative. They have provided a site where you can control all third-party online advertising. Please note that there are many more networks listed on this site than those that we use on this website.
