Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how CookingSnap ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website and application (the "Service"). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the site's operators. Similar technologies, such as local storage, may be used for the same purposes. In this Policy, we refer to all of these as "cookies".

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for the following purposes:

Essential cookies. These are necessary for the Service to function. They enable core features such as keeping you signed in, maintaining your session, and securing your account. The Service cannot work properly without these cookies, so they do not require consent.

Preference cookies. These remember choices you make to improve your experience, such as interface preferences.

Analytics cookies. These help us understand how visitors use the Service so we can improve it. Where required, we will only use analytics cookies with your consent.

Note: As the Service is currently in an early stage, we may use only essential cookies at this time. If and when we introduce analytics or other non-essential cookies, we will update this Policy and, where required by law, ask for your consent through a cookie banner.

3. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies may be set by third-party services we use to operate the Service, such as our authentication provider (Supabase), our payment provider (Lemon Squeezy), and our hosting provider (Vercel). These providers may use cookies to deliver their functionality. We do not control these third-party cookies; please refer to the respective providers' privacy and cookie policies for more information.

4. Managing Cookies

Most browsers let you control cookies through their settings, including blocking or deleting them. Please note that blocking essential cookies may prevent parts of the Service from working correctly. Where we use non-essential cookies that require consent, you will be able to manage your preferences through our cookie banner or settings.

To learn more about cookies and how to manage them, you can visit your browser's help pages.

5. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for legal reasons. When we do, we will revise the effective date above.
