Cookies Policy

Last Updated: March 23, 2026

This Cookies Policy explains how RecipMe uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website and use the RecipMe platform. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we process personal data more broadly.

1. What Cookies and Tracking Technologies Are

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. We also use similar technologies such as local browser storage and diagnostic tracking tools to keep the Service working, understand issues, and improve the overall experience.

2. Essential Authentication Cookies

RecipMe uses Clerk for authentication and account sessions. Clerk sets essential session cookies that let you sign in, stay signed in, and securely access account-only features such as your cookbook, kitchen inventory, and subscription settings.

These cookies are strictly necessary for core site functionality and cannot be disabled if you want to use authenticated parts of the Service.

3. Error Monitoring and Diagnostics

We use Sentry to monitor application errors, crashes, and performance issues. Sentry may collect technical diagnostics such as browser type, device metadata, page context, and stack traces when an error occurs so we can identify and fix problems faster.

4. Analytics and Product Improvement

We may use analytics and measurement tools to understand how RecipMe is used, such as which pages are visited, which features are used most often, and where the experience may need improvement. This information helps us improve usability, stability, and feature planning.

5. How We Use These Technologies

We use cookies and related technologies to:

  • Keep you signed in and protect account sessions.
  • Support core application features and security controls.
  • Detect, investigate, and resolve bugs or performance issues.
  • Measure product usage so we can improve the Service.

6. Managing Cookies

Most browsers let you view, block, or delete cookies through browser settings. If you choose to disable cookies, some parts of RecipMe may stop working correctly, especially account and session-dependent features.

Browser controls vary by product, so consult your browser's help documentation for the most accurate instructions for your device.
