This Cookie Policy explains how CaloriTracker uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website.
This Cookie Policy applies to the website. The app may use other storage and access technologies, such as local storage, session tokens, or SDK-based identifiers, where relevant to keep you signed in, operate core features, or measure usage. The rules around storage and access technologies are not limited to traditional website cookies. (ico.org.uk)
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies can include local storage, scripts, tags, pixels, and other mechanisms that store or access information on your device or browser.
Some of these technologies are essential for the site to work. Others are used for analytics or performance measurement and require your consent before they are set or read. Analytics cookies are not generally treated as strictly necessary, which is why CaloriTracker should ask for consent before using them. (ico.org.uk)
Similar technologies such as local storage or session tokens may also be used to support the same functionality.
2. How CaloriTracker uses cookies
CaloriTracker uses cookies and similar technologies for two main reasons.
First, to make the website function properly. These cookies are necessary to keep you signed in, maintain secure sessions, remember core interface state, and support essential website operations.
Second, if you consent, we use analytics technologies to understand how visitors use the site, which pages are viewed, how users move through the site, and how the website can be improved over time.
We do not use cookies to sell your data, and we do not use advertising cookies for behavioral ad targeting at this time.
3. Cookie categories
| Category | Purpose | Consent required |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | Required for security, login/session handling, and core site operation | No |
| Analytics / Performance | Helps us understand website usage and improve the site | Yes |
4. Cookies we use
The exact names may vary depending on implementation, plugin settings, or infrastructure updates. You should review the live site after the consent tool is installed and update this table with the final cookie names and durations actually in use.
| Cookie / Technology | Provider | Purpose | Duration | Category |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Session or auth token | CaloriTracker | Keeps you signed in and maintains secure session state | Session or short fixed period | Strictly Necessary |
| Consent preference cookie | CaloriTracker or consent tool provider | Stores your cookie choices so the site remembers them | Usually 6 to 12 months | Strictly Necessary |
_ga and related GA4 cookies | Google Analytics | Distinguishes visitors and helps measure site usage | Typically up to 2 years, depending on configuration | Analytics |
| Local storage for theme or UI preference, if used | CaloriTracker | Remembers display preferences such as theme | Varies until cleared or overwritten | Strictly Necessary or Functional, depending on use |
If you later add more analytics, marketing, A/B testing, heatmaps, or embedded third-party content, this Cookie Policy should be updated before those technologies go live.
5. Consent and your choices
When you first visit the website, you should be shown a cookie banner or consent interface that gives you a genuine choice about non-essential cookies. Consent should be requested before analytics cookies are set, and it should be as easy to refuse as to accept. Consent should also be separate from acceptance of the Privacy Policy or Terms of Service. (ico.org.uk)
You can change your cookie preferences at any time through the consent settings made available on the website.
You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling strictly necessary technologies may cause parts of the website not to function correctly.
6. Third-party cookies and technologies
Where analytics or other third-party services are used, those third parties may also process information collected through their technologies in accordance with their own terms and privacy notices.
At the moment, the main third-party analytics provider used by CaloriTracker is Google Analytics. If we introduce additional third-party technologies, we will update this Cookie Policy accordingly.
7. Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect legal, technical, or product changes. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date above.
A couple of blunt points:
Your instinct was right. The earlier drafts were legally-shaped but under-explained. Huxe’s policies feel stronger because they explain the boundaries of the system, not just the data points. That is the part you were missing, and it’s what I fixed here. Huxe’s privacy page explicitly covers scope, collection sources, reasons for collection, AI data use, de-identified data, tracking, security, retention, and eligibility, and their terms do the same on service description, account use, content rights, AI disclaimers, warranties, and liability. (Huxe)
Also, your current public privacy page is still too thin for this product category. It says you collect food descriptions, photos, voice recordings, and AI-generated app data, but it does not explain the broader system around those flows, retention, legal basis, rights, sharing boundaries, or eligibility in enough depth.

If you want, the next useful step is for me to turn these into clean HTML formatted specifically for Elementor, including minimal tags and spacing so you can paste them directly.
