Cookie Policy

Effective Date: 18 July 2025 (last updated: 26 August 2026)

SYNAPSE SPARK STUDIO LTD operates tastesparks.io and uses cookies to enhance user experience while maintaining transparency about data collection practices. Only strictly necessary cookies load by default. Analytics cookies load only after you accept them via the cookie banner or “Manage Cookies” in the footer — continuing to browse the Site does not itself grant consent to non-essential cookies.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. These files enable websites to function efficiently. They are categorised as either session cookies (which expire upon browser closure) or persistent cookies (which remain on devices for extended periods).

2. Types of Cookies We Use

Strictly Necessary Cookies

Essential for core functionality including page navigation, secure areas, and payment processing. The site cannot operate without these.

Performance and Analytics Cookies

Track visitor behaviour, popular pages, navigation patterns, and errors to improve functionality. We use PostHog for this purpose. These cookies are optional and only load after you accept “Analytics” via the cookie banner or “Manage Cookies” in the footer.

Functionality Cookies

These cookies allow the Site to remember choices you make, such as your currency preference or region, to provide a more personalised experience.

Targeting and Advertising Cookies

We do not currently place targeting or advertising cookies. If this changes, this section will be updated to name the specific provider(s) used, and these cookies will only load after you accept “Marketing” via the cookie banner.

3. Third-Party Cookies

External services place cookies on the site with their own privacy policies. Users should review these independently.

4. Cookie Management

You can accept or reject non-essential cookies, or choose per-category (Analytics, Marketing), at any time via the cookie banner shown on your first visit or “Manage Cookies” in the site footer. Necessary cookies cannot be switched off, as the Site cannot function without them.

Users can also control cookies through browser settings. Most browsers enable users to:

• Receive notifications when cookies are placed
• Block specific or all cookies
• Delete existing cookies

Disabling cookies may impair site functionality.

Guidance is available for Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Microsoft Edge browsers.

5. Policy Updates

Updates to this policy may occur to reflect practice changes, technology advances, or legal requirements, with effective dates posted accordingly.
