What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files that a website asks your browser to store on your device when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide information to the site owner. There are two main types of cookies based on their lifespan. Session cookies are temporary and are deleted automatically when you close your browser; they are often used to remember your actions during a single visit, such as items in a shopping cart or form inputs. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you manually delete them; they are used to remember your preferences or actions across multiple visits. The Fresh and Fork website may use both session and persistent cookies depending on how you interact with the site. This policy explains which cookies are used, for what purpose, and how you can manage them.

Categories of Cookies Used on This Site

Cookies are commonly grouped into four categories: necessary, functional, analytics, and marketing. Here is how this website uses each category.

Necessary cookies are essential for the site to function and cannot be switched off. On this site, necessary cookies are only set if you log in to the WordPress administration area or leave a comment. If you are a regular visitor and do neither, you will not receive any necessary cookies from WordPress. The site itself does not set any additional necessary cookies.

Functional cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalisation, such as remembering your preferences. This site does not use functional cookies for ordinary visitors. Any cookie set by WordPress after you log in or comment is for technical operation, not for enhanced features targeting general visitors.

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the site by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This site does not use any analytics cookies. It loads no analytics scripts, and no third-party analytics service is used.

Marketing cookies are used to track visitors across websites to display relevant advertisements. This site does not use any marketing cookies. It loads no advertising or third-party tracking scripts, and all resources are served directly by the site.

The Consent Banner

When you first visit this website, a consent banner appears at the bottom of the screen. The banner explains that the site uses cookies and asks you to make a choice. Two buttons are available: "Accept" and "Reject". Clicking either button performs exactly the same two actions: it records your choice and closes the banner. Your choice is not stored in a cookie; instead, it is saved as a single value in your browser’s local storage (localStorage), under a key belonging to this site. That value will be either "accepted" or "rejected". Because local storage is not a cookie, the value is never sent to our server and is not shared with any other website. Nothing is loaded, unlocked, or blocked at that moment; your answer is recorded so that any features added to the site in future can respect it. If you wish to change your answer, you can do so by clearing this site’s data in your browser settings, which removes the stored value.

Managing Cookies in Your Browser

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. Here is where to look in each major browser.

Chrome: Open the settings menu, go to the privacy and security section, and find the cookie controls. You can choose to block all cookies, delete existing cookies, or manage exceptions.

Firefox: In the browser options, locate the privacy and security panel. There you can set cookie preferences, including blocking third-party cookies and clearing stored cookies.

Safari: In the Safari preferences, under the privacy tab, you can manage cookie settings and remove stored website data. Safari also offers blocking of all cookies.

Edge: In the settings, under privacy, search, and services, you can control cookie handling, including choosing which cookies to block and how to clear them.

Deleting or blocking cookies may affect the functionality of this site, particularly if you attempt to log in or comment, but the core content will remain accessible.
