Cookie Policy

1. What are cookies

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how MenuFast ("we", "us", or "our") uses them on https://www.menufast.app/ (the "Website"), and your choices regarding cookies.

Definition

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give website owners information about how their site is being used.

Cookies set by the website owner are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies."

2. Cookies we use

Essential / strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are necessary for the Website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms.

Examples:

• Session cookies (to keep you logged in)
• Security cookies (to prevent fraud)
• Load balancing cookies (for site stability)

Can be disabled? No — the Website cannot function properly without these.

Typical retention: Session to 1 year.

Functional / preference cookies

These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization, such as language or display preferences. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages.

Examples: Language preferences, region/country settings, display preferences (e.g. font size).

Can be disabled? Yes, but some features may not work properly.

Typical retention: 30 days to 1 year.

Analytics and marketing cookies (not used at present)

We do not currently use analytics cookies (e.g. Google Analytics) or marketing/advertising cookies (e.g. for Google Ads or Meta campaigns) on this Website.

If we introduce such tools in the future (for example Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, or advertising tags for sponsored campaigns on Google or Meta), we will:

• Update this Cookie Policy and the relevant sections of our Privacy Policy
• Obtain your consent before placing any non-essential cookies (e.g. via a cookie banner or consent mechanism)
• Allow you to refuse or customize non-essential cookies

3. Third-party cookies

In addition to our own cookies, we may use cookies from third-party partners necessary for the operation of our Service.

Third parties that may set cookies:

• Stripe — for payment processing when you subscribe or make a purchase. These cookies are governed by Stripe's privacy policy.

If we add further third-party services in the future (e.g. analytics or advertising), we will list them here and obtain your consent where required by law.

4. Cookie consent

We currently use only essential and, where applicable, functional cookies. These are necessary or useful for the Website to work and do not require separate consent under applicable cookie laws.

If we introduce non-essential cookies (such as analytics or marketing), we will implement a cookie consent mechanism (e.g. a banner on first visit) and will only place those cookies after we have obtained your explicit consent. You will be able to:

• Accept all non-essential cookies
• Customize which categories to enable
• Reject non-essential cookies (only essential cookies will be used)

We will also provide a way to change your cookie preferences at any time (e.g. a "Cookie settings" or "Cookie preferences" link in the footer).

5. Managing cookies

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie rights in the following ways:

Browser settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can block all cookies, accept all cookies, block only third-party cookies, or clear existing cookies.

Browser-specific instructions:

• Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies
• Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies
• Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Cookies
• Edge: Settings → Privacy → Cookies

Blocking some types of cookies may impact your experience on our Website and limit the services we can offer.

If we use Google Analytics in the future, you will be able to opt out via the Google Analytics Opt-Out browser add-on.

6. Data retention

Cookie retention periods vary depending on the type and purpose of the cookie:

• Essential cookies: Session-based (deleted when you close your browser) or up to 1 year
• Functional cookies: Up to 1 year

If we introduce analytics or marketing cookies in the future, we will specify their retention periods in an updated version of this policy (typically up to 2 years for such cookies). After the applicable period, cookies are automatically deleted from your device.
