Cookie Policy

1. What is a Cookie?

A cookie is a small text file containing an alphanumeric identifier that is transmitted from our servers and cached locally inside your web browser or mobile client. Cookies allow our platform to recognize your specific session ID and device layout as you navigate between pages.

2. Classifications of Cookies We Use

We partition our cookies into three specific categories:

• Essential & Functional Cookies (Strictly Required): These cookies are critical to operate our system. We use secure session cookies to verify your NextAuth credentials when you log in, validate CSRF (Cross-Site Request Forgery) tokens to protect form submissions, and maintain your local cart items as you browse different restaurant menus.
• Preference Cookies: These cookies remember configuration settings to personalize your interface. They cache parameters such as your selected country (e.g., India), preferred currency (INR), and recent delivery address inputs.
• Performance & Analytical Cookies: These cookies capture anonymous usage metrics. We monitor page load speeds, screen sizes, click hotspots, and drop-off patterns to optimize UI design, remove bugs, and ensure smooth routing performance.

3. Managing and Controlling Cookies

You have the right to accept or refuse cookies. Most modern desktop and mobile browsers automatically accept cookies by default, but you can alter your browser configurations to decline cookies or alert you when a cookie is created.

Important Security Warning: Since essential cookies are critical for authentication tokens, disabling cookies entirely will prevent you from logging in, maintaining a cart, placing orders, or accessing merchant dashboards.
