IngredientsMatter Cookie Notice
How IngredientsMatter uses necessary cookies and what optional categories remain off unless chosen.
Cookie Notice
What are cookies?
Cookies and similar technologies are small files or identifiers placed on or accessed from your device when you use the service.
Strictly necessary cookies
These are used for login/session continuity, CSRF protection, security, fraud prevention and tenant/session state. They are required to provide the service requested by the user. The only cookie the service sets is the session cookie, IMSESSID.
Similar technologies
Your cookie choices are remembered in your browser's local storage, not in a cookie. The same rules apply to it, and it is strictly necessary to remember the choice you made.
Optional analytics
Optional analytics are intended to help understand product performance and improve the service. They remain off until active consent is given.
Optional product improvement or testing
Personalisation or testing-related identifiers should remain off until active consent is given.
Marketing
Marketing cookies are not part of the current release baseline and remain off unless explicitly enabled later with a valid consent flow.
Your choices
You can accept or reject optional cookies through the banner and any future settings surface. Strictly necessary cookies remain on because core sign-in and security flows depend on them.
Consent evidence
Where optional categories are ever enabled, consent records should capture the selected categories, notice version, and timestamp for accountability.
