Welcome to the MealApp Cookie Policy. We use a small number of cookies to make our platform work properly for you, whether you are a diner ordering food in Antwerp on mealapp.app or a restaurant owner managing your business inside mealappmanager.com. This page explains, in plain language, what cookies we use, why we use them, and how you stay in control.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device (phone, laptop, or tablet) when you visit. They help the site remember useful things about your visit, such as staying logged in, keeping your cart items in place, or loading the site in your preferred language. Almost every modern website uses cookies, and without them, the basic features you expect from an ordering platform simply would not work.
How MealApp Uses Cookies
We group the cookies we use into three clear categories so you always know what each one is doing:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: These are the cookies that keep MealApp running. We use them to hold items in your shopping cart, log you into your restaurant dashboard on mealappmanager.com, and keep your session secure while you order or manage your business. Without these cookies, ordering food or accessing your dashboard would not be possible.
- Performance and Analytics Cookies: We use these to understand how people move through our platform. They tell us which pages load slowly, where users get stuck, and which features people rely on most. We only use standard, privacy-respecting analytics tools, and we do not track your personal identity or sell your browsing data to anyone.
- Functional Cookies: These remember the small choices that make your experience easier. For example, they save your language preference, your saved delivery addresses, and small settings like a “dark mode” toggle. They are not required for the site to run, but they make your next visit smoother.
Third-Party Cookies
Some parts of our platform rely on trusted third-party services, and these partners may also place cookies on your device. This mainly happens with secure payment gateways that process your order and basic analytics tools that measure site performance. We only work with secure, GDPR-compliant partners who follow strict European data protection rules. We do not allow third parties to use our cookies for invasive advertising or cross-site profiling.
How to Manage Your Cookie Preferences
You are always in control of the cookies stored on your device. You can block, delete, or limit cookies at any time through your browser settings. Most browsers (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge) offer a simple menu under Settings or Preferences where you can manage this in a few clicks.
Please keep one thing in mind: if you block Strictly Necessary Cookies, parts of MealApp will stop working correctly. You may not be able to complete an order, stay logged in to mealappmanager.com, or save your cart between pages. Blocking the other two categories (Performance and Functional) is completely safe and will not break the core experience.
