Food SecretCookie Notice
Last updated: 28 May 2026
This Cookie Notice applies to the food-secret.com website (the “Site”), which is operated by D23 Ventures Ltd, a company registered in the Republic of Cyprus (registration number HE 489062). It does not apply to the Food Secret iOS app, which does not use web cookies.
For more information about how we handle personal data, see our Privacy Policy.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser. Similar technologies — such as web beacons, pixels, and entries in your browser’s local storage — work in comparable ways. We refer to all of these as “cookies” for short in this Notice.
2. Categories of cookies we use
| Category | Purpose | Provider | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Remembering your cookie-consent choice. Required for the Site to work. | Food Secret (first-party) | Up to 12 months (local storage) |
| Analytics (privacy-friendly) | Aggregate page-view and visit metrics so we can understand how the Site is used. No cross-site tracking. | Plausible Analytics | Cookieless |
| Analytics | Measures Site performance, traffic sources, and user behaviour to help us improve the Site. | Google Analytics 4 (Google LLC) | Up to 24 months |
| Advertising / marketing | Measures the effectiveness of our ads and shows you relevant ads on third-party services. | Meta Pixel (Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd.), TikTok Pixel (TikTok Technology Ltd.), X Pixel (X Corp.) | Up to 13 months |
The exact cookies set depend on the pages you visit and the consent choice you make. We update this table when we change our analytics or marketing tools.
3. Legal basis and consent
Strictly necessary cookies are set on the basis of our legitimate interest in operating the Site. Analytics and advertising cookies are set only with your consent, which you can give or refuse using the cookie banner the first time you visit the Site. In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and other regions where the law requires it, no non-essential cookies are set until you give consent.
You can withdraw your consent at any time by clearing your browser’s storage for food-secret.com, which will cause the cookie banner to reappear, and then choosing “Decline.”
4. How to control cookies
In addition to the cookie banner, most browsers let you:
- See what cookies have been stored and delete them.
- Block all cookies, or cookies from specific sites.
- Block third-party cookies, which disables most advertising pixels.
- Send a “Do Not Track” or Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal to websites.
We honour Global Privacy Control signals: if your browser sends a GPC signal, we treat it as a request to refuse non-essential cookies.
For mobile advertising identifiers, you can also limit ad tracking through your operating system settings (on iOS, Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking).
5. Third-party privacy notices
Each third-party provider listed above handles your data under its own privacy notice:
6. Changes
We may update this Cookie Notice from time to time. When we make material changes, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. If the changes affect how we use non-essential cookies, we will ask for your consent again.
