1. Introduction

DailyFoodHub (“we”, “our”, “us”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience, analyze site performance, and deliver personalized content. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, the types of cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can manage them.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember your actions and preferences over a period of time, so you don’t have to re-enter them each time you return. Cookies can be first‑party (set by DailyFoodHub) or third‑party (set by external services such as Google, Facebook, or Pinterest).

3. Types of Cookies We Use

3.1 Essential Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function correctly. They enable core features such as navigation, secure login, and the ability to add items to your shopping cart. Without these cookies, DailyFoodHub would not be able to provide its basic services.

• session_id – Stores a temporary session identifier to keep you logged in while you browse.
• csrf_token – Protects against cross‑site request forgery attacks.
• language_pref – Remembers the language you selected for the site.

3.2 Analytics Cookies (Google Analytics)

We use Google Analytics to collect information about how visitors interact with DailyFoodHub. This helps us understand which pages are popular, how users navigate the site, and where improvements are needed.

• _ga – Distinguishes unique users by assigning a randomly generated number.
• _gat – Controls the rate at which Google Analytics requests are made.
• _gid – Stores session information for analytics reporting.

All analytics data is aggregated and anonymized; it does not contain personally identifiable information.

DailyFoodHub integrates with several social platforms to let you share recipes, follow us, or like content directly from our site. The following third‑party cookies are set when you interact with those features:

• Pinterest: _pinterest_ct, _pinterest_sess – Remember your Pinterest preferences and enable “Pin It” buttons.
• Instagram: ig_did, mid – Used for embedding Instagram posts and tracking interaction.
• Facebook: fbp, fr – Enable “Share” and “Like” buttons and help Facebook measure ad performance.

3.4 Preference Cookies

These cookies store your personal settings and preferences to improve your experience on DailyFoodHub. They are not essential for the site to function, but they make it more convenient.

• theme_mode – Remembers whether you prefer a light or dark visual theme.
• currency – Saves the currency you selected for pricing information.
• recipe_filters – Keeps track of filter choices (e.g., vegetarian, gluten‑free) you applied during a session.

4. How We Use Cookies

1. Essential Cookies: Enable secure login, maintain session state, and support core site functionality.
2. Analytics Cookies: Collect data on page views, bounce rates, and user flow to help us improve content and performance.
3. Social Media Cookies: Facilitate sharing, liking, and embedding of social media content, and allow us to measure the effectiveness of social campaigns.
