What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores on your device. They let a site remember things between page loads — that you are signed in, or which options you chose. Similar technologies such as local storage and pixels do comparable jobs, and this policy covers those too.
This policy applies to the picyfood.com website. The PicyFood mobile app does not use cookies; it stores an authentication token securely on your device so you stay signed in. See our Privacy Policy for what the app collects.
What this site stores
This website is a simple information site. It stores only what it needs to remember your cookie choice.
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
picyfood_consent |
Remembers whether you accepted or declined analytics, so we do not ask again. Stored in your browser's local storage, not sent to our servers. | Until you clear site data | Essential |
Essential storage does not require consent because the site cannot honour your choice without it. Everything else does.
We set no advertising cookies, and no third party sets cookies through this site.
Analytics on this site
Analytics on this website is off until you accept it. If you accept, we load a measurement script that counts visits and shows which pages people read. It is aggregated and not used to identify you, and we never use it for advertising.
You can change your mind at any time — see “Changing your choice” below.

The mobile app
The PicyFood app does not use cookies — it is not a browser. It stores an authentication token securely on your device so you stay signed in, and keeps your favourites and meal plans cached locally so they work offline.
The app does use Firebase for crash reporting and product analytics. That is a different mechanism from cookies and is covered in full in our Privacy Policy, including exactly which events we record and how to switch collection off on your device.
