Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how Plateful uses cookies and local storage when you use our Service. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

What Are Cookies and Local Storage

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. Local storage is a similar browser technology that holds data on your device. Both help websites remember information between visits.

Cookies and Local Storage We Use

  • Authentication: We use a token to keep you signed in across pages and sessions.
  • Theme preference: Remembers whether you chose Warm Light, Warm Dark, or Follow Device.
  • Read Aloud preferences: Saves your voice, speed, pitch, and playback choices for Cooking Mode.
  • Onboarding state: Remembers that you've completed the welcome flow.

Analytics

We use analytics to understand feature usage. Analytics may use cookies or similar technologies to record anonymous events. This data is aggregated and does not identify you personally.

Third-Party Cookies

When you use Google sign-in, Google may set cookies as part of the authentication flow. When you watch cooking videos, YouTube may set cookies. These are governed by the respective providers' cookie and privacy policies.

Managing and Disabling Cookies

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block all cookies, accept only first-party cookies, or clear stored cookies. Note that disabling authentication cookies will sign you out and prevent access to your account.

Effect of Disabling Cookies

Some features require cookies or local storage to function. If you disable them, you may not be able to stay signed in, save preferences, or use personalized features like Read Aloud settings.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. We will reflect changes by updating the "Last updated" date.
