1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, phone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They allow the website to remember information about your visit — such as your login status or session preferences — to make your experience smoother and more secure.

Our cookies serve these specific functions:
- Keeping you logged in during your session
- Protecting all forms against Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks

6.2 Impact of Disabling Cookies
Since we only use essential session cookies, disabling cookies in your browser will prevent you from logging in or using any authenticated feature of the Platform (placing orders, managing your store, admin panel). The public browsing experience (store listing, menu viewing) will still work without cookies.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy if we introduce new features that require additional cookies. We will update the effective date at the top of this page and, for significant changes, notify registered users by email.
We commit to keeping the cookie list in Section 4 accurate and up to date at all times.
