We may use the following types of cookies:
Essential cookies
These are necessary for the website to operate properly, including security and basic website functionality.

These may remember settings or choices that improve your experience on future visits.
You may be able to accept, reject, or adjust non-essential cookies through our cookie consent controls. You can also control cookies through your browser settings, although disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality.
4. Google Analytics and Google Advertising
We may use services provided by Google, including Google Analytics, Google Ads, Google Tag Manager, and Google advertising or conversion-measurement technologies.
These services may use cookies or similar technologies to collect information about how visitors interact with our website.
This information may be used to:

Google explains that cookies can be used for advertising measurement, fraud prevention, frequency management and ad personalization. Visitors can also manage personalized advertising through Google's advertising controls.
Where applicable, our website may use a consent-management system or Google Consent Mode so that Google tags respond to a visitor's consent choices.
5. Meta Pixel and Meta Advertising
We may use advertising and measurement technologies provided by Meta Platforms, Inc., including technologies associated with Facebook and Instagram advertising.

For example, someone who visits a particular page on our website may later see an advertisement for Hot Hot Dog Studio on Google, Facebook, Instagram, or another platform.
Google describes this type of audience use as a form of personalized advertising and provides users with controls for opting out of personalized ads.
