Required for chef sign-in, security, and core features such as the map. These cannot be turned off if you use those features.
Analytics and marketing
We do not set analytics or marketing cookies on Personal Chef Finder. There is no cookie banner on this site because there is nothing optional to accept or decline here.
Cookies and storage we use
The table below describes the main technologies. Exact cookie names may change when we update the service.

First-party directory metrics
Separately from browser cookies, this site records listing events (such as profile views and contact clicks) on our own servers so chefs can see dashboard metrics. That is first-party operational data. It is not sent to PostHog, Google, or Meta.
Changes
If we later add optional analytics or advertising cookies, we will update this policy and ask for consent before those tools run. See also our Privacy Policy.
