This Cookie Policy explains how The City of Angels ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on https://thecityofangels.com (the "Site"). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which describes how we collect, use, and protect your personal information more broadly.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember your actions and preferences (such as language, locale, or whether you've previously dismissed a banner) over time. Similar technologies — including pixels, web beacons, local storage, and session storage — work in comparable ways. We refer to all of these collectively as "cookies" in this policy.
Two general categories matter for this site:
- Session cookies: temporary, removed when you close the browser tab.
- Persistent cookies: kept on your device for a set duration (typically 30 days to 2 years).
How We Use Cookies
We use cookies on this site for the following purposes:
- Strictly necessary: cookies required to deliver the site you requested — for example, to remember whether you've unlocked a draft page or accepted the cookie banner. These do not require your consent because the site cannot function correctly without them.
- Performance and analytics: cookies that help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. We use Google Analytics, which sets cookies to count visits, measure page views, and analyze traffic patterns. These cookies do not identify you personally to us; they are activated only after you accept the cookie banner.
- Functional: cookies that remember your locale or display preferences across visits.
We do not currently use cookies for advertising or behavioral targeting on this site, and we do not sell or share cookie-based information with advertisers.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on this site are set by third-party services we use:
- Google Analytics (Google LLC) — for traffic measurement. See https://policies.google.com/privacy.
- Embedded content (e.g. YouTube video embeds, Google Forms for our contact form) may set their own cookies when you interact with them. Their use of cookies is governed by their respective privacy policies.
Managing Your Preferences
When you first visit the site, you will see a cookie banner that allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can change your choice at any time by clearing your browser's cookies for this site, which will cause the banner to reappear on your next visit.
You can also control cookies directly through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies, or alert you when one is being set. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the site from working correctly.
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies and site data
To opt out of Google Analytics specifically, install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. Because there is no industry consensus on how DNT signals should be interpreted, we do not currently respond to them. Use the cookie banner or your browser's cookie controls to manage your preferences instead.
Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page shows when the policy was last revised. Material changes will be flagged via an update to the cookie banner so you can review and re-confirm your preferences.
