Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how dailymealflow (https://dailymealflow.com) uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website. It provides details about the types of cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.

Last Updated: December 06, 2025

What are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They enable the site to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, and display settings) over a period of time, so you don’t have to re-enter them each time you visit or navigate between pages.

Types of Cookies We Use

1. Essential Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of the site. They enable core functions such as security, network management, and accessibility. Without these cookies, services you have asked for—like logging in or adding items to a shopping list—cannot be provided.

• session_id – Maintains your session while you browse the site.
• csrf_token – Protects against cross‑site request forgery attacks.
• consent_status – Stores your consent choices for non‑essential cookies.

2. Analytics Cookies (Google Analytics)

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with dailymealflow.com. These cookies collect information such as pages visited, time spent on each page, and referral sources. The data is aggregated and anonymized; it is never used to identify individual users.

• _ga – Distinguishes unique users.
• _gid – Tracks user behavior across sessions.
• _gat – Controls the rate of data collection.

3. Social Media Cookies

Our site includes social sharing buttons that allow you to share recipes, meal plans, and blog posts on Pinterest, Instagram, and Facebook. These buttons set cookies that enable the social platforms to recognize you when you click a share link.

• Pinterest – _pinterest_sess and _pinterest_ct
• Instagram – mid and ig_did
• Facebook – fr and datr

These cookies are set by the respective social networks, not by dailymealflow, and are subject to each network’s privacy policy.

4. Preference Cookies

Preference cookies remember choices you make on the site to improve your experience. For example, they store your preferred language, theme (light or dark mode), and the last viewed category of meals.

• lang_pref – Stores the language you selected.
• theme_mode – Remembers whether you prefer a light or dark interface.
• last_category – Keeps track of the last meal category you browsed.

How We Use Cookies

Our use of cookies serves several purposes:

• Security & Authentication: Essential cookies protect your account and keep our site safe from fraudulent activity.
• Performance Monitoring: Analytics cookies help us understand traffic patterns, allowing us to improve page load times and overall usability.
• Social Interaction: Social media cookies enable seamless sharing of content and help us gauge which recipes are most popular across platforms.
• Personalization: Preference cookies tailor the site to your individual tastes, making it quicker for you to find meals that fit your dietary goals.

What Happens If You Disable Cookies?

Disabling essential cookies may prevent you from logging in, saving your meal plan, or using other core features of dailymealflow.com. Non‑essential cookies (analytics, social media, preferences) can be turned off without breaking the site, but you may experience a less personalized experience and we will have limited insight into how to improve the service.
