What cookies are
Cookies are small files or pieces of information that a website can place in, or access through, a browser or device. Similar browser technologies may be used for related purposes. In practical terms, they can help a site recognise a browser during a visit, remember a selection you have made, or support an understanding of whether pages are working as intended.
They are a common part of website browsing, but their purpose matters. Depending on the feature being used, these technologies may support a practical setting, help deliver a page reliably, or provide broader information about how people move through the site. This policy describes those purposes at a high level rather than listing technical identifiers.
How cookies may be used
- Essential
- Essential functions support reliable and secure website operation. Where a cookie or similar technology is needed for a core function, it may be used to help the site work as expected. These functions can include practical steps such as retaining a cookie choice or supporting dependable page delivery.
- Optional
- Optional functions may support measurement or experience improvement when enabled. They are separate from core operation and should be subject to the visitor choices available through the site’s cookie preference controls. Availability can depend on the features being used at the time.
This policy relates to use of the Best 10 Rankings website. It concerns website browsing and browser storage only; it does not describe, enable, or change participation in the restaurant’s in-person card lounge and dining experience.
