Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies Only
FoodSense uses only essential cookies and local storage that are strictly necessary for basic website functionality. Specifically, we use local storage to remember your cookie banner preference so that the banner does not appear repeatedly after you acknowledge it.
These essential technologies are necessary for the website to function properly and cannot be disabled if you wish to use the site.

Third-Party Cookies
We use content delivery networks to host standard web development libraries such as Bootstrap and jQuery. These services may set their own cookies for operational purposes, but we do not use them for tracking or analytics.
We have no control over third-party cookies set by external services and recommend reviewing their respective privacy policies.
