Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Sweet Surrender Bakery) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.

Some cookies are required for our website to operate for technical reasons, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies.
