This Cookie Policy explains how Kayem Foods, Inc. (“Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website at kayemfoodservice.com (the “Website”). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them. In some cases we may use cookies to collect personal information, or information that becomes personal information if we combine it with other information. Please read it together with our Privacy Policy.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Kayem Foods, Inc.) 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 (for example, interactive content, analytics, and advertising). 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.
Why do we use cookies?
We use first- and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Website to operate, and we refer to these as “essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies. Other cookies enable embedded content from other services, help us understand how the Website is used, or measure marketing campaigns. Third parties may serve cookies through our Website for those purposes. Non-essential cookies are only set with your consent.
How can I control cookies?
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie rights by setting your preferences in the Cookie Consent Manager, which appears as a banner on your first visit and lets you select which categories of cookies you accept or reject. Essential cookies cannot be rejected as they are strictly necessary to provide you with services. You can revisit your choices at any time using the button below. Your preference is stored in a first-party cookie named kayem_consent for 12 months so that we do not ask you on every visit.
If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track signal, we treat analytics and marketing cookies as declined. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our Website, though your access to some functionality (such as the embedded map on our Contact page) may be restricted. You may also set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies; as the means by which you can refuse cookies vary from browser to browser, visit your browser’s help menu for more information. In addition, most advertising networks offer you a way to opt out of targeted advertising at aboutads.info/choices or youronlinechoices.com.
What cookies do we use?
The specific types of first- and third-party cookies served through our Website and the purposes they perform are described below. The specific cookies served may vary depending on the pages you visit.

Analytics and customization cookies
These cookies collect information that is used in aggregate form to help us understand how our Website is being used. We use Google Analytics 4 (installed through Google Site Kit) with enhanced measurement, which records page views, scroll depth, outbound link clicks, on-site searches, and file downloads such as product specification sheets. Google Analytics runs in Google Consent Mode: until you allow the Analytics category it sets no cookies and only receives cookieless, aggregated signals; after you allow it, the following cookies are set. IP addresses are anonymized and we do not use Google Signals or advertising features.
| Name | Purpose | Provider | Type | Expires |

Advertising and social media cookies
These cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you or to allow you to share pages on social networks. We do not currently use any advertising or social-media cookies on this Website. If that changes, they will be listed here and will load only after you allow the Marketing category.
What about other tracking technologies, like web beacons?
Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called “tracking pixels” or “clear gifs”). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognize when someone has visited our Website or opened an email including them. In many instances these technologies rely on cookies to function properly, so declining cookies will impair their functioning. We do not currently use web beacons on this Website.
Do you use Flash cookies or Local Shared Objects?
No. This Website does not use Flash or Local Shared Objects. It may use your browser’s local storage to keep a copy of your cookie preferences.
Do you serve targeted advertising?
No. We do not serve targeted advertising on this Website and do not permit third parties to serve advertising cookies through it.
How often will you update this Cookie Policy?
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please revisit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies. The date at the top of this Cookie Policy indicates when it was last updated.
