Cookie Policy
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide information to site owners. Cookies can be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (remaining on your device for a set period or until you delete them).
This Site also makes use of localStorage, a browser-based storage mechanism that operates similarly to cookies but stores data locally on your device without expiry.
2. How We Use Cookies and Local Storage
We use cookies and localStorage on this Site for the following purposes:
2.1 Strictly Necessary
These are essential for the Site to function. They enable core features and cannot be disabled. They do not store any personally identifiable information.
- tdde_consent (localStorage) — stores your cookie consent preferences so you are not asked again on each visit. Duration: indefinite until cleared by you.
- tdde_weekly (localStorage) — stores your weekly meal planner entries in the browser so they persist between sessions. Duration: indefinite until cleared by you.
2.2 Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Site, which pages are most visited, and where improvements can be made. These cookies collect information in an aggregated, anonymous form. We only deploy these cookies if you give your consent.
- Analytics service cookies (third-party) — session and persistent, up to 13 months.
2.3 Marketing Cookies
Marketing cookies are used to deliver content relevant to your interests. They track your browsing activity across the Site. We only deploy these cookies if you give your consent.
- Marketing service cookies (third-party) — persistent, up to 24 months.
When used, marketing technologies may include ad measurement tags (for example, conversion tracking) to understand ad performance. These are not activated unless you opt in through the consent controls.
3. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on this Site are set by third parties, including:
- Google Fonts — used to deliver web fonts. May set technical cookies. See Google Privacy Policy.
- Font Awesome CDN (Cloudflare) — used to deliver icon fonts. See Cloudflare Privacy Policy.
We have no direct control over third-party cookies. We recommend reviewing their respective privacy policies.
4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
When you first visit the Site, a cookie consent banner will be displayed. You may:
- Accept All — consent to all cookie categories.
- Reject — decline all non-essential cookies.
- Cookie Settings — open the preference panel to enable or disable individual cookie categories.
You can change your preferences at any time by clearing the tdde_consent key from your browser's localStorage and reloading the page. The consent banner will reappear.
Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
5. Browser-Level Cookie Control
You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- View cookies currently stored on your device
- Delete some or all cookies
- Block cookies from specific sites or all sites
- Set preferences for specific types of cookies
Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of some parts of this Site. For instructions specific to your browser, refer to its help documentation.
6. LocalStorage and Your Right to Erasure
Because localStorage data is stored exclusively on your device, you can delete it at any time by clearing your browser's site data for phodlarnthral.ddd. This will remove your saved consent preferences and any meal planner entries you have stored.
7. Legal Basis and Australian Compliance
For users in jurisdictions that require consent for non-essential cookies, we rely on consent as the legal basis for analytics and marketing cookies. For Australian users, this policy is intended to operate consistently with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), the Australian Privacy Principles, and related ePrivacy expectations for transparency and choice.
8. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy as our practices or the law changes. We will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page when we make material changes. Continued use of the Site after such changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
