Cookie Policy

Last updated: June 2026

1. Overview

This Cookie Policy explains how HeyCarta uses cookies and similar browser technologies on heycarta.com, the restaurant admin dashboard, and guest menu pages.

2. What we use today

Essential cookies and storage required to operate the Service, including:

  • Authentication and session tokens for operator accounts
  • Security and CSRF-related session data
  • Guest language preference for translated menus
  • Optional guest allergen filter selections (session or local storage)
  • Theme or UI preferences where enabled
  • Cookie consent acknowledgment for this site

These technologies are necessary for core functionality. Without them, sign-in, menu personalization, or filter state may not work correctly.

3. What we do not use at launch

We do not use third-party advertising cookies or sell browsing data to ad networks. We do not deploy social-media tracking pixels on guest menus at launch.

4. Analytics

Product analytics for restaurant operators are collected through our own platform when guests interact with published menus. If we introduce additional analytics cookies on the marketing site, we will update this policy and, where required, request consent before enabling them.

5. Third-party authentication

If you sign in with Google or another identity provider, that provider may set its own cookies subject to its privacy policy.

6. Managing cookies

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies may prevent parts of HeyCarta from working. To clear guest allergen filters, use your browser's site data controls for the menu URL you visited.
