Last Updated: April 03, 2026

DishesDaily (“we”, “our”, or “the Site”) uses cookies and similar technologies to provide a better browsing experience, analyze usage patterns, and offer personalized content. This policy explains what cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can manage or opt out of them. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us at [email protected].

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by a website’s server. They can be used to remember your preferences, track your navigation through the Site, or share information with third‑party services. Cookies are essential for the basic functioning of the Site, for analytics, for social media integrations, and for user preferences.

Types of Cookies We Use

1. Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the Site to operate. They enable core functions such as secure authentication, session management, and navigation. Without these cookies, you would not be able to log in, add items to your shopping cart, or use any of the interactive features of DishesDaily.

2. Analytics Cookies (Google Analytics)

We use Google Analytics to collect anonymous data about how visitors interact with the Site. These cookies record page views, session duration, traffic sources, and device information. The data helps us improve content, design, and overall user experience. Google Analytics does not identify you personally; the data is aggregated and anonymized.

3. Social Media Cookies

DishesDaily embeds social media widgets from Pinterest, Instagram, and Facebook. These platforms may set their own cookies to track engagement (likes, shares, comments) and to provide personalized content. The cookies are set by the third‑party services, not by us, but we provide this notice so you are aware of the data being collected.

4. Preferences Cookies

These cookies remember your language choice, theme preference (dark or light mode), and other personalization settings. They allow you to enjoy a consistent experience each time you visit the Site.
