A clearer browsing experience
A little about cookies.
This policy explains how cookies and similar technologies may be used on this website, what they help us do, and how you can manage your preferences.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website may store on your computer, phone or other device when you visit. They can help a website remember information about a visit, maintain a requested function or recognise certain preferences on a later visit.
Similar technologies may also store information on, or access information from, your device. The rules described in this policy may apply to those technologies as well as conventional cookies.
Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (“first-party” cookies) or by another service whose technology operates on the website (“third-party” cookies). They may last only for a browsing session or remain on a device for a longer period, depending on their purpose and configuration.
Cookie categories
Cookies can serve different purposes. The categories below describe the types that may be relevant to a food-ordering website. They are not a claim that every category is currently active on this website.
| Category | Purpose | Consent approach |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Supports essential functions requested by the visitor, such as maintaining a requested session, protecting website security or retaining items in an active order basket where applicable. | Consent is not required where the technology genuinely meets a legal exemption. Information about its purpose should still be provided. |
| Preferences | Remembers optional choices or settings to provide a more consistent browsing experience. | Consent is obtained where required by law. |
| Analytics and performance | May help understand how visitors use pages and identify technical or usability issues. | Consent is obtained before use where required. |
| Advertising and measurement | May support advertising-related measurement or the delivery of relevant promotional content, if such tools are installed. | Consent is obtained before use where required. |
A cookie is not strictly necessary simply because it is useful to the website owner. Whether an exemption applies depends on the technology’s actual purpose and whether it is essential to provide a service requested by the visitor.
How cookies may be used
Depending on the website configuration, cookies and similar technologies may be used to:
- Maintain essential website functions and protect against misuse.
- Support an order basket or another function you have requested.
- Remember relevant preferences where that function is enabled.
- Help diagnose loading errors, technical faults or performance issues.
- Measure website use or support other optional features where installed and lawfully enabled.
We aim to use only technologies that are appropriate for their stated purpose. The precise cookies, purposes and durations should be confirmed through a scan of the live website and its installed plugins.
Third-party cookies and services
Certain features may rely on external providers, such as website hosting, security, embedded content, analytics or other technical services. Where those services use cookies or similar technologies, they may collect technical information according to their own configuration and applicable terms.
The providers involved depend on the tools actually installed and enabled on this website. We do not claim that any particular analytics, advertising or embedded service is present unless it has been verified.
Where a third-party technology is not strictly necessary and consent is legally required, it should not be activated before the relevant consent has been obtained. You should be able to make an informed choice about optional technologies.
Consent and managing preferences
Where required by applicable UK rules, we seek consent before storing or accessing information on your device through non-essential cookies or similar technologies.
A suitable cookie preference mechanism should allow you to make a genuine choice about optional categories. Where consent is required, it should be freely given, informed, specific and indicated by a clear affirmative action. Continuing to browse the website does not, by itself, constitute consent.
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time using the cookie preference mechanism provided on the website, where available. Withdrawing consent does not make earlier processing unlawful if it was lawful when it occurred.
If you cannot find a way to reopen the cookie preference panel, contact us using the details in the final section. You may also manage cookies through your browser settings, although browser controls may not replace a website’s consent mechanism.
Browser controls
Most browsers allow you to view, delete or block cookies through their settings. The available controls vary by browser and device.
You can consult the help section for your browser to learn how to manage stored cookies and site data. Blocking all cookies may affect features that depend on them, including some ordering or session functions.
Deleting cookies may remove saved preferences. It may also mean that a website no longer remembers a previous choice, so you may be asked to make that choice again.
How long cookies remain
Some cookies are session cookies and are normally removed when you close your browser. Others are persistent cookies and remain on your device until they expire or are deleted.
The duration depends on the purpose of the cookie and the configuration of the relevant website feature or third-party service. We should confirm the actual expiry period of each cookie used on this website and avoid retaining information longer than reasonably necessary for its purpose.
Because cookie names and expiry periods depend on the live website configuration, this policy does not assign invented names or durations to individual cookies.
Cookies and personal information
Some cookies or similar technologies may process information that relates to an identifiable person or device. Where personal information is involved, we handle it in accordance with applicable data protection law and the explanations in our Privacy Policy.
Depending on the technology used, information may include technical identifiers, browsing interactions, preference settings or device-related information. The actual information processed depends on the cookies and services operating on the website.
For information about access, correction, deletion, objection or other applicable data protection rights, please consult the Privacy Policy or contact us.
Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this policy when website features, installed technologies or applicable legal requirements change. The current version will be published on this page.
If a change affects how consent must be obtained or how cookie preferences are managed, we will update the relevant website arrangements and provide information where required. Where necessary, we will seek fresh consent before using technologies for a new or changed purpose.
