What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember your preferences and understand how you interact with it. ChefLane uses cookies to provide essential functionality, remember your choices, and improve the platform.

Essential Cookies

These cookies are required for the platform to function and cannot be disabled. They include:

• Authentication session cookies — keep you signed in as you navigate between pages.
• CSRF protection tokens — protect against cross-site request forgery attacks.

Functional Cookies

These cookies remember your preferences to enhance your experience:

• cookie_consent — records your cookie banner choice so the banner is not shown again.
• site_dark — stores your dark mode preference on creator microsites.
• user_locale — saves your preferred currency and locale for displaying prices.

Analytics Cookies

We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with the platform so we can identify issues and make improvements. These cookies are only set if you accept analytics cookies via the cookie banner.

• Vercel Analytics — collects anonymous performance and usage data such as page views and navigation patterns. No personally identifiable information is collected.
• Google Analytics (planned) — may be added in the future to provide additional insights into traffic sources and user behaviour.

Managing Cookies

You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the site — the cookie banner will appear again. Most browsers also let you block or delete cookies through their settings. Please note that blocking essential cookies may prevent you from signing in or using certain features.
