Last Updated: December 01, 2025

This Cookie Policy explains how Chani Photography LLC, doing business as The Daily Rhythm (“The Daily Rhythm,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit or use our website and digital magazine The Daily Tea, available at [Insert Website URL] (the “Site”).

This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use. By continuing to use the Site, you agree to our use of cookies as described in this Policy, unless you disable them through your browser or device settings or our consent tools (where applicable).

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, mobile phone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, improve efficiency, and provide information to site owners.

Cookies may be:

• First-party cookies – set by the website you are visiting (i.e., The Daily Rhythm / The Daily Tea).
• Third-party cookies – set by domains other than the website you are visiting (for example, analytics or advertising providers).

Cookies can also be:

• Session cookies – which expire when you close your browser;
• Persistent cookies – which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.

2. Scope of This Policy

This Cookie Policy applies to:

• Our main website hosting The Daily Tea,
• Any subdomains operated by The Daily Rhythm that link to this Policy,
• Email-related technologies (such as tracking pixels) where applicable.

It does not apply to third-party websites, services, or applications that may be linked from our Site.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We may use the following categories of cookies on the Site:

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the Site to function properly and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as:

• Navigating pages,
• Logging into secure areas,
• Managing cookie preferences,
• Processing secure payments or orders (if applicable).

Without these cookies, some parts of the Site may not work correctly.

Examples of purposes:

• Authentication and account login
• Security and fraud prevention
• Load balancing and site performance

3.2 Functional / Preference Cookies

These cookies enable the Site to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we use.

They help us remember:

• Your language or region preferences,
• Your display or layout choices,
• Whether you’ve seen certain notices or pop-ups before.

Disabling these cookies may result in reduced functionality or a less personalized experience.

3.3 Performance / Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Site, so we can improve content, design, and user experience.

They may collect information such as:

• Pages visited and time spent on them,
• Links clicked,
• Error messages encountered,
• General usage patterns (e.g., number of visitors).

Data collected through analytics cookies is typically aggregated and does not directly identify you. However, some analytics tools may collect IP addresses or other identifiers that could be considered personal data under certain laws.

3.4 Targeting / Advertising Cookies (If Used)

If we use advertising or retargeting tools, these cookies may:

• Track your browsing habits across websites,
• Build a profile of your interests,
• Show you relevant ads on other sites or platforms.

These cookies are usually set by third-party advertising networks with our permission.

You can usually opt out of targeted advertising via browser settings, platform-based opt-outs (e.g., Facebook or Google ad preferences), or regional opt-out tools.

3.5 Social Media Cookies (If Applicable)

If we embed social media features (such as share buttons or embedded content), those platforms may set cookies through our Site to:

• Enable social sharing or “like” functions,
• Track your interactions with their services,
• Build usage profiles for their own purposes.

These cookies are controlled by the respective social networks’ own privacy and cookie policies.

4. Similar Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies, such as:

• Web Beacons / Pixels: Small graphic images or snippets of code that allow us to track email opens, site usage, or conversions.
• Local Storage / Session Storage: Browser-based mechanisms that store data locally on your device.
• Tags and Scripts: Code used to measure usage or integrate third-party services.

These technologies function similarly to cookies and are used for analytics, performance, and personalization.

5. Cookies We May Use (Examples)

Below are examples of the types of cookies and purposes we may use. The actual cookies in use may change over time as we improve or modify the Site.

• Authentication cookies – to keep you logged in as you navigate the Site.
• Session cookies – to operate site features and remember temporary choices.
• Analytics cookies – to understand site traffic and usage trends.
• Preference cookies – to remember your settings (such as language or cookie choices).
• Security cookies – to help detect and prevent security issues or misuse.

6. Legal Basis for Using Cookies (Where Applicable)

Depending on your location and applicable law (e.g., GDPR in the EU/UK), our legal basis for using cookies may be:

• Consent – For non-essential cookies such as analytics, personalization, or advertising. We may request your consent via a banner or pop-up when you first visit the Site.
• Legitimate Interests – For strictly necessary cookies required to ensure the Site functions properly, provide core services, maintain security, and prevent fraud.

If consent is required under local law, you may decline or withdraw consent for non-essential cookies at any time through your browser settings or any cookie consent tools we provide.

7. How to Manage and Disable Cookies

You have several options for managing cookies and similar technologies.

7.1 Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to:

• View the cookies stored on your device,
• Delete cookies,
• Block some or all cookies,
• Receive alerts before cookies are stored.

The method for managing cookies varies by browser. You can typically find cookie settings under:

• Settings → Privacy & Security
• Options or Preferences → Cookies / Site Data

Please note:

• If you block or delete cookies, some parts of the Site may not function correctly.
• Your preferences may need to be reset if cookies are cleared.

7.2 Device Settings

On mobile devices, you may control tracking via:

• In-app consent prompts,
• “Limit Ad Tracking” or similar options.

7.3 Third-Party Opt-Out Tools

If we use third-party analytics or advertising networks, you may be able to opt out through:

• The provider’s own opt-out tools,
• Industry opt-out pages such as the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) or Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) (where applicable in your region).

Note: These tools are provided by third parties, and we do not control or guarantee their effectiveness.

8. Cookies in Emails

We may include tracking technologies in some emails (such as newsletters or digital magazine updates) to:

• See if an email was opened,
• Determine which links were clicked,
• Understand engagement with our content.

You can disable this type of tracking by:

• Turning off automatic image loading in your email client,
• Or unsubscribing from our emails using the link in the footer of our messages.

9. Do Not Track (DNT) Signals

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” or “DNT” setting that sends a signal to websites indicating you do not wish to be tracked. There is currently no industry-wide standard for how websites should respond to these signals.

At this time, The Daily Rhythm / The Daily Tea does not respond to DNT signals. We may revisit this policy if a clear standard is established.

10. Cookies and Personal Data

Information collected through cookies and similar technologies may be considered “personal data” in some jurisdictions if it can be linked to an identifiable individual (for example, IP address combined with other data).

Where cookies involve the processing of personal data, such processing will be conducted in accordance with our Privacy Policy, which describes:

• The types of personal data we collect,
• How we use and share personal data,
• Legal bases for processing,
• Your rights under applicable privacy laws.

11. Your Rights (Depending on Your Location)

• The right to access your personal data;
• The right to correct or update your information;
• The right to delete your data;
• The right to restrict or object to certain processing;
