Categories in use
| Category | Purpose | What we actually use | Control |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential (consent) | Resolving your region and remembering your choice | The km_geo cookie (one day) carries your country code for the consent default, and km_consent (180 days) stores your choice | Managed from your browser's cookie settings |
| On-device tools (local storage) | Remembering your preferences | Pantry and saved recipes live in localStorage on your device and never leave your browser | Clear browsing data in your browser |
| Analytics | Measuring site usage | Google Analytics 4 through gtag.js: after consent it sets first-party cookies (such as _ga) and receives basic page views — never your name, email, or assistant chat text | Withdraw consent (delete km_consent) or browser settings |
| Advertising | Serving and measuring ads | We currently serve no ads, set no advertising cookies and load no ad scripts | — |
How to control them
- In your browser settings: delete cookies or block them entirely or for specific categories.
- To withdraw your analytics consent: delete the km_consent cookie in your browser settings — your choice is cleared and re-evaluated on your next visit (in consent regions the consent banner appears again).
- To clear local tool preferences (pantry and saved): "clear browsing data" in your browser.
Note: blocking all cookies can limit some functions on sites in general, but KitchenMind's core tools will keep working because they do not depend on them. The wider picture is in the privacy policy.
Consistency with the privacy policy
This page and the privacy policy describe the same system: essential consent cookies (km_geo, km_consent), first-party analytics cookies (_ga) once consent is granted (Google Analytics 4), local storage for on-device tools, and no advertising today. Any future change is updated in both pages together.
