Cookie Policy

Last updated: 29 September 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how cookies and similar browser technologies may be used on https://vietnamesefoodies.com/. It should be read together with the Vietnamese Foodies Privacy Policy.

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that websites can store on a browser or device. Websites may also use similar technologies such as local storage, pixels, tags and scripts. These technologies can support essential site functions, remember preferences, measure usage and, where enabled with the appropriate consent, support advertising or campaign measurement.

2. Essential website technologies

Some cookies or browser-storage items are necessary for the website to operate reliably. They may be used for security, fraud prevention, load balancing, form protection, session handling, remembering privacy choices, or other functions that are required for the service you request. These technologies are not used simply to build advertising profiles.

3. Privacy and consent preferences

The site may store your cookie or privacy preference so that it can remember whether optional tracking has been accepted or declined. This preference is used to control consent-aware analytics or advertising technologies where those tools are configured.

4. Analytics and performance

With the relevant consent, the site may use analytics technologies to understand visits, page use, interactions, traffic sources and website performance. Depending on the live configuration, Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics 4 may be used for this purpose. Analytics configuration can change over time, so the exact cookies and retention periods may depend on the active provider settings.

5. Advertising and campaign measurement

If advertising measurement tools are configured and you have made the relevant consent choice, technologies such as Meta Pixel may be used to measure interactions or campaign performance. The site is designed so that direct optional advertising technologies are not intentionally loaded before the required consent state is available.

6. Forms and newsletter functions

Contact, catering, event, franchise and newsletter forms may use security controls, request tokens, rate limiting or other technical measures to protect the forms against spam and abuse. These controls may involve session or browser-level information necessary to process the request safely.

7. Third-party websites

Vietnamese Foodies may link to third-party ordering, mapping, social-media or other services. A third party may place its own cookies or similar technologies after you visit or interact with that provider. Those technologies are controlled by the third party and are governed by its own privacy and cookie information.

8. How long cookies remain

Some technologies exist only for the current browser session, while others can remain for a longer period so that preferences or measurement information can be recognised on a later visit. Retention periods are determined by the purpose of the technology and, for third-party services, by the provider's configuration and policies.

9. How to manage cookies

You can use the website's cookie or privacy controls, where shown, to manage optional tracking choices. You can also use your browser settings to view, block or delete cookies and site data. Blocking essential technologies may affect website functions. Browser instructions differ by provider and device.

10. Do Not Track and browser signals

Browser privacy signals and "Do Not Track" settings are implemented differently across browsers and services. Where a specific legal or technical requirement applies, we may update the website to recognise relevant signals in accordance with the applicable standard.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when website functionality, tracking configuration, service providers or legal requirements change. The date at the top of this page shows the latest published version.
