This Cookie Policy outlines how Samyang Foods utilizes cookies and similar technologies across its website and associated services. It is intended to be read alongside the Privacy Policy, which provides a more detailed explanation of how personal data is collected, processed, stored, and shared, as well as the rights available to users and the procedures for submitting inquiries or complaints. Samyang Foods operates the website buldak.com as a platform to present and promote its Buldak brand, and this policy applies to all related digital environments, including mobile applications and any additional services connected to the platform. Users may also encounter links directing them to third-party websites that offer analytics or advertising functionality. These external platforms may implement their own cookies and operate under separate policies, and users are encouraged to review those policies independently.
Cookies are small data files stored on a user’s device when visiting a website. They serve various purposes, such as remembering user preferences, enhancing browsing efficiency, and collecting general usage data. The website employs both first-party cookies, which are set directly by Samyang Foods, and third-party cookies, which are introduced by external service providers. These third parties may include analytics and performance tools such as Google Analytics and Amplitude, which collect information about user interactions, including browsing patterns and engagement metrics. Such tools may also rely on cookies to deliver more relevant content and improve overall service performance, with all data handled in accordance with the respective providers’ privacy standards.
Cookies used on the website can generally be grouped into essential and non-essential categories. Essential cookies are necessary for the proper functioning of the website and cannot be disabled without impacting core features. These cookies support functions such as maintaining secure sessions, enabling authentication processes, and protecting against automated or malicious activity. Non-essential cookies include several types designed to improve the overall user experience. Performance cookies gather aggregated and anonymized data related to site usage, helping to monitor traffic flow, identify trends, and enhance system efficiency. Functional cookies allow the website to remember user preferences and enable additional features, such as simplified login options or customized settings. Targeting cookies, which may be introduced as part of future marketing efforts, are designed to present content or advertisements that align with user interests.
Users have the ability to control how cookies are used by adjusting their preferences through website settings. Consent can be withdrawn at any time, although limiting certain cookies may reduce the availability or performance of some features. Analytics-related cookies, particularly those used by services like Google Analytics and Amplitude, collect information such as pages visited, time spent on the site, and navigation behavior. This data is typically aggregated and anonymized, allowing it to be used for improving website functionality without directly identifying individual users. Cookies also play a role in maintaining technical stability by assisting with error detection, storing configuration preferences, and supporting certain marketing activities.
In addition to on-site controls, users can manage or disable cookies through their browser settings on both desktop and mobile devices. Most modern browsers provide options to block cookies entirely, delete existing cookies, or receive notifications when cookies are being used. Mobile operating systems may also include privacy features that limit advertising tracking, such as options to restrict ad personalization. Furthermore, various third-party tools and industry programs are available to help users manage tracking preferences, including opt-out mechanisms provided by organizations like the Network Advertising Initiative and the Digital Advertising Alliance, as well as browser add-ons that disable analytics tracking.
For any questions regarding this Cookie Policy or concerns about how cookies are used, users may contact Samyang Foods by phone at (424) 235-6912 or by email at Buldakus@outlook.com. This policy may be revised periodically to reflect updates in technology, legal requirements, or business practices. Any changes will be communicated through the website to ensure users remain informed about current cookie usage and data practices.
