Last updated: March 4, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Bonicelli Cooking Club ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website at bonicellicookingclub.com. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to the site owner. Cookies can be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them).

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:

Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. They enable core functionality such as:

  • User authentication and session management (via NextAuth)
  • Shopping cart and checkout functionality (via Stripe)
  • Security and fraud prevention
  • Remembering your login state

These cookies cannot be disabled without affecting the functionality of the website.

Functional Cookies

These cookies enable enhanced features and personalization:

  • Remembering your preferences (such as recipe filters or display settings)
  • Storing your course progress
  • Enabling podcast playback across pages

Analytics Cookies

We may use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our website, including which pages are visited most often, how visitors navigate the site, and whether they encounter errors. This information helps us improve our website and your experience. Analytics data is collected in aggregate and does not personally identify you.

3. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on our website are set by third-party services we use. These services and the cookies they may set include:

  • Stripe — Sets cookies necessary for secure payment processing and fraud detection.
  • Supabase — Sets cookies related to authentication and session management.
  • Vercel — Our hosting provider may set cookies for performance monitoring and analytics.
  • Bunny.net — May set cookies when streaming course video content.
  • Captivate — May set cookies when you interact with embedded podcast content.

4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You can control and manage cookies in several ways:

  • Browser settings: Most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings. You can set your browser to refuse cookies, delete existing cookies, or alert you when a cookie is being set. The method varies by browser — check your browser's help documentation for instructions.
  • Device settings: Your mobile device may offer settings to limit ad tracking or manage cookies.

Please note that disabling or deleting cookies may affect the functionality of our website. Some features, such as signing in and making purchases, require cookies to function.

5. Local Storage and Similar Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use other local storage technologies (such as HTML5 localStorage) to store preferences and session data in your browser. Our mobile app uses on-device storage (AsyncStorage) to save your preferences, cached content, and offline data. These technologies function similarly to cookies and are subject to the same principles described in this policy.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
