Dates on this notice

This notice takes effect on September 29, 2026. That is also the date of its last update. When we change the list of cookies, the date on this page changes with it and the new version applies from the day it is posted.

The notice is written by the shop, Easternmarket, trading at easternmarket.us as Eastern Market Provisions. It covers this website only. The counter at the market has no cookies; it has a scale and a board with the week's prices.

Three kinds of storage, and only one runs without asking

Strictly necessary. These keep the site doing what you asked it to do. One key remembers your cookie choice so the banner does not reappear on every page. Another keeps the token for a support chat you started, so the conversation is still there when you come back to ask what a half-bushel weighs. Neither is used for advertising, so neither waits for your consent.

Analytics. Counting visits and seeing which catalogue pages people read, for example whether the heirloom tomato section gets more reading in August than the apple section. Analytics storage stays denied until you press Allow.

Advertising. Google Ads, Microsoft Advertising and Meta Ads send paid visitors to this site. Their tags measure whether a click on an ad led to a pickup request. That is the whole use. We do not sell a list of visitors, and we do not build profiles of who buys eggs. Advertising storage stays denied until you press Allow.

Paid clicks arrive with an identifier on the link

People find this site by searching things like "eastern market detroit produce" or "farm produce pickup detroit" and clicking an ad. Google Ads, Microsoft Advertising and Meta Ads send that traffic here today. When they do, the platform adds a click identifier to the end of the address in your browser bar.

Google Ads adds gclid. Microsoft Advertising adds msclkid. Meta Ads adds fbclid where a campaign runs there. The identifier is a random string. It says which ad was clicked, not who you are.

If you have allowed storage, the platform's tag keeps that identifier in one of the cookies listed above, and when you send a pickup request the tag reports one conversion back to the platform. If you have not allowed storage, the identifier still sits in the address bar but nothing on the page saves it, and the platform receives only the cookieless, consent-denied signal that Consent Mode sends.

Google Ireland Ltd and Google LLC receive the consent signals and the gclid. Microsoft Ireland Operations Ltd receives the msclkid. Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd receives the fbclid when a Meta campaign is live. Nobody else receives any of it.

What still works if you decline

Everything you came for. You can read the tomato, apple, greens, bread, honey and egg sections, send a pickup request, start a chat and call (313) 833-9300. The request reaches the counter the same way and gets the same call back.

What stops: no analytics cookie, no ad cookie, no conversion report tied to your browser. The ad platforms see that a click happened, because that is recorded on their side when you click, and they do not see what you did afterwards. Ads may still appear to you elsewhere, since declining here does not change your settings with Google, Microsoft or Meta.

The platforms' own documents

Each platform decides for itself what it does with data it receives, and says so in its own policy. Read them there, not in a summary from a produce shop.

Asking about one specific cookie

Name the cookie or key and the page you saw it on, and write to [email protected]. Post goes to Easternmarket, 2934 RUSSELL STREET, DETROIT, MI 48207, United States. Phone questions go to (313) 833-9300, though a cookie question is easier in writing because we will want to check the page first.

If you want to ask about produce instead, which is most people, the produce page and the pantry and bakery page have the week's range and a request link on every item.
