1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide information to site owners. DastarKhan AI uses cookies and similar technologies (such as localStorage and sessionStorage) to enhance your experience on our Platform.
2. How We Use Cookies
Essential Cookies
Required for the Platform to function. These include authentication tokens (Supabase session), cart data stored in localStorage, and admin session keys. You cannot opt out of these.
Preference Cookies
Remember your settings such as dark/light theme preference, selected language (Urdu/English), and dismissed notifications. Stored in localStorage.
Analytics Cookies
Help us understand how users interact with our Platform — which features are used most, where users drop off in the order flow, and overall performance metrics. We do not use third-party analytics trackers.
AI Personalisation
Store your food preferences, health conditions, and dietary restrictions locally to power MediMenu AI and Smart Kitchen recommendations without requiring a server round-trip each time.
3. localStorage vs Cookies
DastarKhan primarily uses browser localStorage (not traditional HTTP cookies) to store user preferences, cart items, and dismissed notifications. This data lives only in your browser and is never transmitted to third parties. You can clear it at any time via your browser settings → "Clear site data."
4. Third-Party Cookies
- Supabase: Sets authentication cookies necessary for maintaining your login session
- Cloudinary: May set cookies when serving video content on our homepage
- Unsplash: May set cookies when loading chef and food images
5. Managing Cookies
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- View all cookies stored by a website
- Delete individual or all cookies
- Block cookies from specific sites
- Block all third-party cookies
Note: Disabling essential cookies will break login and cart functionality on DastarKhan.
