Cookies Policy

A cookie is a tiny text file a website stores in your browser when you visit. On your next visit the browser sends it back, so the site can remember things between pages — for example that you have already confirmed a notice or chosen a city. Cookies cannot run programs and cannot read anything on your device beyond the data the site itself stored.

Alongside cookies we also use similar technologies, mainly your browser's local storage. For the purposes of this policy these work the same way — they keep a small value in your browser — so wherever we say "cookie" below, please read it as "cookie or equivalent browser storage".

Cookies are usually described in three ways.

By who sets them

• First-party — set by ctnyt.com itself; we are responsible for these.
• Third-party — set by an outside service whose content loads on a page (for example a content-delivery network). That provider is responsible for them under its own policy.

By purpose

• Strictly necessary / technical — required for the site to work (signing in, securing forms). These do not need consent.
• Functional — remember choices such as your city or that you dismissed a notice.
• Analytics — help us count visitors and see which pages are read so we can improve the site.
• Profiling / advertising — used to build a profile and show targeted ads. We do not use these.

By how long they last

• Session — deleted automatically when you close the browser.
• Persistent — stay until a set expiry or until you clear them.

We keep this list deliberately short. These are the only first-party items we set:

• Session cookie (technical · session) — keeps you signed in while you browse and carries a security token (CSRF) that protects every form submission. Removed when you close the browser or after a period of inactivity. Logins and form submissions cannot work without it.
• 18+ acknowledgement (functional · ~24 hours) — once you confirm you are over 18, we save that in your browser's local storage so the prompt isn't shown on every page. It is refreshed roughly every 24 hours.
• Cookie-notice acknowledgement (functional · ~24 hours) — remembers that you have seen the cookie banner, stored the same way.
• Preferences (functional) — remember small choices such as your last-selected city so you don't have to pick it again.

None of these store your name, phone number or any directly identifying information.

A few external services may set their own cookies when their content loads or when you choose to use them:

• Content-delivery networks (e.g. Cloudflare cdnjs, jsDelivr) — serve fonts and stylesheets and may set their own caching cookies. They cannot read our cookies and we cannot read theirs.
• WhatsApp — if you tap a "WhatsApp" button, WhatsApp sets its own cookies under its own policy once you leave our site.
• Analytics (optional) — where enabled, we use a privacy-respecting analytics service to count page views in aggregate. It is not used to identify you personally and is not cross-referenced with other data.

We do not run advertising networks, social-media tracking pixels or behavioural-profiling cookies on ctnyt.com.

Strictly necessary cookies are set automatically because the site cannot function without them. For anything that needs consent, the banner shown when you first arrive lets you accept by choosing "I agree".

You can withdraw consent at any time by clearing this site's cookies and local storage in your browser (see the next section). The banners will then reappear on your next visit so you can make a fresh choice.

You can block, delete or limit cookies from your browser settings. Official guides:

• Chrome (desktop & mobile)
• Firefox
• Safari (macOS)
• Microsoft Edge

Private / incognito mode also clears most cookies automatically when you close the window.

The site will still open and most pages will work. However, you'll have to confirm the 18+ notice every visit, your selected city won't be remembered, and contact, sign-up and login forms will fail because the security token cannot be stored. We recommend allowing cookies from ctnyt.com at a minimum.

Where data-protection law applies to you, you have the right to:

• Access — ask whether we hold personal data about you and get a copy.
• Rectification — have inaccurate or incomplete data corrected.
• Erasure — ask us to delete your data where the law allows.
• Restriction — ask us to limit how we use your data in certain cases.
• Portability — receive data you gave us in a common, machine-readable format.
• Object — object to certain processing of your data.
• Withdraw consent — at any time, without affecting processing carried out before you withdrew it.

To exercise any of these, email info@ctnyt.com. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data-protection authority.

We may update this policy when we add or remove a cookie, change how long one lasts, or add a new third-party service. Significant changes will be highlighted on the homepage for at least 30 days. The date below shows when this version went live.
