Cookies and Local Storage
Every cookie and browser value we set, what it is for, and how long it lasts. We use no advertising cookies, on this site or on a restaurant's ordering page.

1. The short version
We set no advertising cookies anywhere, and we use no Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, or other advertising tracker. On a restaurant's ordering page we run no third-party trackers at all - only our own visit counter, and only if you accept it. Declining leaves nothing but the cookies that keep you signed in.
2. What we set
| Name | Type | What it does | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
| blueobsidian_session | Cookie, essential | Keeps a restaurant owner or admin signed in. Signed and HTTP-only, so page scripts cannot read it. | 14 days |
| blueobsidian_customer | Cookie, essential | Keeps a customer signed in to a restaurant's ordering page, where they created an account. | 30 days |
| blueobsidian_consent | Cookie, essential | Remembers whether you accepted or declined the analytics value below, so you are not asked again. Records only which button you pressed. | 6 months |
| blueobsidian_theme | Cookie, preference | Remembers whether the dashboard is in light or dark mode. Absent means follow the device setting. | 1 year |
| blueobsidian_oauth_state | Cookie, essential | A short-lived value that proves a Google or Apple sign-in came back from where it was sent. Deleted as soon as sign-in finishes. | 10 minutes |
| Cart contents | Local storage | Your basket on a restaurant's page, so it survives a refresh. Never leaves your browser until you check out. | Until you clear it |
| Analytics visitor id | Local storage | A random value, different for every restaurant, that groups your page views into one visit. Not linked to your name, number, or orders. | Until you clear it |
3. Turning them off
Your browser can block or clear all of these. Blocking the essential ones will sign you out and empty your cart; blocking the analytics value only means a restaurant counts your visits separately rather than together. To change an answer you already gave, use the Cookie choices link in the footer of a restaurant's ordering page. It clears the answer and asks again on the spot.
We honor Global Privacy Control, though there is nothing for it to switch off: we set no advertising cookies and share nothing for advertising, on this site or on a restaurant's ordering page, whatever your browser sends.
