Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and supply information to the website owners.
Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting ("first-party cookies") or by third parties whose services the website uses ("third-party cookies"). Cookies can remain on your device for different periods of time — "session cookies" are deleted when you close your browser, while "persistent cookies" remain until they expire or you delete them.
At Meal2Dream (meal2dream.com), we use a small number of cookies to ensure the proper functioning of our website and to understand how visitors interact with it. We do not use cookies for advertising or behavioural tracking purposes.
Our website uses a custom cookie consent banner. When you first visit our site, you are presented with a banner asking for your consent to the use of non-essential cookies. Your preference is stored so that you are not asked again on subsequent visits.
These cookies are essential for the website to function properly. They enable basic features such as page navigation, remembering your cookie consent choice, and ensuring website security. These cookies cannot be disabled as the website cannot function properly without them.
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting information about pages visited, time spent on the site, and any errors encountered. All data collected by these cookies is aggregated and anonymous. We use Google Analytics (gtag.js) for this purpose.
These cookies are only placed if you provide consent through our cookie banner.
These cookies allow the website to remember choices you have made, such as your preferred language, and provide enhanced, more personalised features. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages.
The table below lists the specific cookies used on our website:
| Cookie Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
cookie_consent |
Strictly Necessary | Stores your cookie consent preference so the banner is not shown again on subsequent visits. | 1 year |
_ga |
Performance / Analytics | Google Analytics — used to distinguish unique users by assigning a randomly generated number as a client identifier. | 2 years |
_ga_G-XXXXXXXXXX |
Performance / Analytics | Google Analytics — used to persist session state and track sessions across pages. | 2 years |
We use Google Analytics (gtag.js) with the measurement ID G-XXXXXXXXXX to collect anonymous, aggregated information about how visitors use our website. Google Analytics uses cookies to identify returning visitors and understand browsing patterns, without personally identifying individual users.
The information generated by these cookies is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers that may be located outside the European Economic Area. Google may use this data in accordance with its own privacy policy. We have configured Google Analytics to anonymise IP addresses and we do not share any personally identifiable information with Google through this service.
Google Analytics cookies are only activated after you have given your consent through our cookie banner. You can learn more about how Google uses data at Google's partner site policies.
When you first visit our website, a cookie consent banner is displayed at the bottom of the page. You can choose to accept or decline non-essential cookies. Your choice is saved in a strictly necessary cookie (cookie_consent) so that you are not asked again.
If you accept cookies, analytics and functional cookies will be activated. If you decline, only strictly necessary cookies will be used. You can change your preference at any time by clearing your cookies (see section 7 below) and revisiting the website, which will cause the banner to appear again.
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can set your browser to block or delete cookies, although this may affect the functionality of our website and other sites you visit.
Below are instructions for managing cookies in the most common browsers:
You can also opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
