Cookie Policy
How FoodPlacee uses cookies and similar technologies.
1. What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser when you visit a website. They help websites remember basic information about your visit — such as preferences, settings, login state, and aggregate usage signals.
FoodPlacee uses cookies and similar technologies (such as localStorage and sessionStorage) to make the site work properly, remember your preferences, measure aggregate usage, and protect against abuse.
2. How FoodPlacee Uses Cookies
Site functionality (always on)
Cookies required for FoodPlacee to load correctly, render layouts, remember your view preferences (e.g. open accordions, dismissed banners), and handle form submissions reliably. Without these cookies the site may not work as expected.
Analytics
Anonymized cookies to understand how visitors find and use FoodPlacee — which pages, devices, and search terms are popular. We use this data to improve search relevance, identify broken features, and prioritize content.
Performance
Cookies that help us detect slow pages, JavaScript errors, and broken features so we can fix them quickly.
Security
Cookies used to detect abusive traffic, form spam, scraping attempts, and brute-force attacks on submission forms — and to protect FoodPlacee's infrastructure.
Preferences
Cookies that remember basic preferences such as last-visited city, region, language, or filter selection, so you don't have to set them again on every visit.
3. Cookies We Set
Below is a summary of the main cookies FoodPlacee may set. Specific cookies may vary as we improve the service.
| Cookie | Type | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| fp_session | Functionality | Session | Maintains your session while browsing. |
| fp_prefs | Preferences | 12 months | Stores city, language, and filter preferences. |
| fp_promo_dismissed | Functionality | Session | Remembers if you dismissed the homepage promo bar. |
| _fp_analytics | Analytics | 24 months | Anonymized usage measurement. |
| _fp_perf | Performance | 12 months | Detects slow loads and errors. |
| _fp_security | Security | 6 months | Helps detect abusive traffic and form spam. |
4. Third-Party Cookies
FoodPlacee uses a small number of trusted third-party services for analytics, performance monitoring, and content delivery. These services may set their own cookies under their own privacy policies. Common categories include:
- Analytics provider — to measure aggregated page views and search behavior.
- CDN / hosting provider — to deliver assets reliably from a network close to you.
- Font provider — to serve web fonts (Petrona, Outfit, Gochi Hand) reliably.
We do not allow third parties to use FoodPlacee's cookie data for cross-site advertising or retargeting.
5. Managing Cookies
You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you:
- Block all cookies (may affect site functionality).
- Block only third-party cookies.
- Clear specific cookies for FoodPlacee.
- Set the browser to ask before accepting cookies.
Helpful pages for managing cookies in your browser:
- 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.
Disabling cookies may affect site functionality, including form submission, saved preferences, and the experience on hub pages.
6. Do Not Track Signals
Your browser may send a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. There is no industry standard for how to respond to DNT, but FoodPlacee aims to limit non-essential tracking regardless of DNT settings — through privacy-respecting analytics and the absence of advertising profiling.
7. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy as the service evolves. Material changes will be reflected with an updated "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review the policy periodically.
