1. ABOUT THIS COOKIE POLICY

This Cookie Policy applies to the Chefalo Consulting website at www.chefaloconsulting.com. The website is owned and operated by Chefalo Consulting, LLC, referred to in this policy as “Chefalo Consulting,” “we,” “us,” or “our.”

This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains more broadly how we collect, use, store, and share personal information.

The new website is currently under development. We will run a final cookie and technology scan before launch and update this working policy if the completed website uses additional cookies, scripts, integrations, or similar technologies.

2. WHAT COOKIES ARE

Cookies are small text files placed on a computer, phone, tablet, or other device when a person visits a website. Cookies can help a website function, maintain security, remember visitor choices, understand how the website is used, and support optional services.

Websites may also use technologies that perform similar functions, including local storage, software development kits, tags, pixels, scripts, and other device or browser identifiers. In this policy, references to “cookies” include cookies and similar technologies where appropriate.

3. HOW WE USE COOKIES

Chefalo Consulting may use cookies and similar technologies to:
 

• Operate and secure the website

• Provide essential Wix website functions

• Remember cookie and privacy preferences

• Maintain consent records

• Understand website traffic and performance

• Learn how visitors find and navigate the website

• Measure engagement with pages, links, downloads, and service pathways

• Support optional website functions when a visitor has provided any consent required by law

We do not currently use cookies for targeted advertising, behavioral advertising, remarketing, or retargeting.

4. TYPES OF COOKIES

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are necessary for the website to operate securely and provide basic functions. They may support website security, fraud prevention, network management, page delivery, visitor navigation, consent records, and saved cookie preferences.

Because these cookies are required for the website to function or to provide a service requested by the visitor, they generally cannot be disabled through our cookie banner. You may be able to block them through your browser, but doing so may cause parts of the website to stop working correctly.

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies support optional features and enhanced website functions. These may be used by Wix components or third-party services if optional functionality is added to the website.

The current website primarily directs visitors to external services rather than embedding those services directly. If functional cookies are identified on the completed Wix site, they will be described and managed through the cookie-consent system as appropriate.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors find and use the website. They may collect information about pages visited, referral sources, device and browser types, approximate location, visit duration, link selections, downloads, and other website interactions.

We use Google Analytics and may use applicable Wix analytics functions to evaluate website performance and improve content, navigation, resources, and service pathways. Where consent is required, analytics cookies will not be activated until the visitor allows the relevant category.

Marketing Cookies

Chefalo Consulting does not currently use advertising pixels, remarketing technologies, or marketing cookies on this website. We do not currently use Meta Pixel, Google Ads conversion tracking, LinkedIn Insight Tag, TikTok Pixel, or similar advertising technologies.

If we add advertising or remarketing technology in the future, we will update the cookie banner and this policy and obtain consent where required before activating the technology.

5. GOOGLE ANALYTICS

We use Google Analytics to understand website traffic and visitor interaction. Google Analytics may process information such as device and browser details, approximate geographic location, referral source, pages visited, visit duration, and interactions with website content.

We use this information to identify useful content, evaluate website performance, improve visitor pathways, and understand actions such as resource selections, scheduling-link selections, and engagement with service pages.

Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies under Google’s own privacy practices. The Chefalo Consulting cookie banner will be configured so that Google Analytics is subject to the visitor’s analytics-cookie preference where required.

6. WIX AND USERCENTRICS

The website is hosted on Wix. Wix may use essential cookies and similar technologies to operate, deliver, maintain, and secure the website.

We plan to use the Wix/Usercentrics cookie-consent banner to provide information about cookie categories and collect or record visitor preferences. When the banner is active, it is designed to prevent supported non-essential Wix integrations and scripts from loading until the visitor provides the appropriate consent.

Visitors will be offered controls to accept cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or manage available categories. A Cookie Settings or Privacy Choices control will allow visitors to reopen the consent tool and review or change their preferences.

Some third-party applications or custom technologies may not be fully controlled by a consent banner. The completed website will be scanned before launch so that detected components can be reviewed and classified.

7. EXTERNAL WEBSITES AND SERVICES

The Chefalo Consulting website primarily links visitors to external services rather than embedding those services directly into Wix pages.

These external services may include:
 

• Calendly for scheduling

• GoHighLevel, also known as HighLevel or GHL, for forms, landing pages, checkouts, downloads, communications, and other services

• Zoom for video meetings created through Calendly

• YouTube, Vimeo, and Spotify for video or audio content

• Booksellers, payment processors, course platforms, and other resource providers

When you select a link and leave the Chefalo Consulting website, the external provider may place its own cookies or use similar technologies. Those cookies are governed by the provider’s cookie policy, privacy policy, and consent controls rather than this Cookie Policy.

We encourage visitors to review the privacy and cookie information provided by an external service before submitting information or changing cookie preferences on that service.

8. YOUR COOKIE CHOICES

When the cookie banner is displayed, you may be able to:
 

• Accept all available cookie categories

• Reject non-essential cookies

• Choose specific non-essential categories

• Review information about identified website components

• Reopen Cookie Settings or Privacy Choices and change your preferences

Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that occurred before the preference was changed. Your updated choice will apply to future website activity, subject to technical limitations and applicable law.

Essential cookies required for website operation may continue to function even when non-essential cookies are rejected.

9. BROWSER AND DEVICE CONTROLS

Most web browsers allow you to review, block, or delete cookies through browser settings. Mobile devices may also provide privacy and tracking controls.

Browser controls operate separately from the Chefalo Consulting cookie banner. Blocking all cookies through a browser may affect website security, saved preferences, page operation, or other functions.

Instructions vary by browser and device. Consult the help or privacy settings for your browser or device for current instructions.

 

10. COOKIE DURATION

Cookies may remain only during a browsing session or may remain on a device for a longer period. Session cookies generally expire when the browser is closed. Persistent cookies remain until their stated expiration, until they are deleted, or until the provider removes them.

The duration of a cookie depends on its purpose and the provider that places it. The final pre-launch website scan will be used to review the specific components detected on the completed site. Information displayed through the consent tool may provide additional details about identified providers and technologies.

11. NO SALE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

Chefalo Consulting does not sell personal information for money and does not rent personal information or mailing lists to third parties.

Some privacy laws define “sale,” “sharing,” targeted advertising, or cross-context behavioral advertising more broadly than an exchange for money. Chefalo Consulting does not currently use website cookies for targeted advertising or cross-context behavioral advertising. If our practices change, we will update our notices and provide any choices required by applicable law.

12. CHANGES TO THIS COOKIE POLICY

We may update this Cookie Policy when the website, cookie inventory, analytics configuration, third-party services, consent tools, or legal requirements change.

The “Last updated” date at the top of this page identifies the most recent revision. Material changes will be posted on this page and may also require the cookie banner to request or renew visitor preferences.

This working policy will be reviewed and updated after the completed website has been scanned and before the new website goes live.
