Needed to provide the service you asked for. These cannot be switched off, but you can clear them in your browser at any time (you will be signed out). The law does not require consent for storage that is strictly necessary to provide a service you asked for (ePrivacy Directive article 5(3); UK PECR regulation 6).

No advertising cookies, no analytics or tracking cookies, and no cookies that follow you to other sites. We do not sell or share your data for advertising, so there is nothing to opt out of under laws such as the CCPA, and browser signals like Global Privacy Control are already met.

Opening PiecePal does not contact any other company from your browser: our fonts and restaurant logos are served from our own domain. (Our server fetches logos from Google's public icon service by the restaurant's web address only; nothing about you is sent.)

Two features you choose to use load content directly from Google, which then receives your IP address and browser details: Google Maps place photos, when you browse places to eat, and Google Firebase, when you turn on push notifications. Google's own privacy policy applies to what it receives. PiecePal does not use either for advertising or tracking.

Every browser lets you view and delete site data in its settings. Clearing PiecePal's data signs you out and makes this device forget receipts you opened as a guest; anything saved on your account is unaffected.

If what we keep changes, this page and the cookie banner will be updated, and you will be asked again when a new optional category is added. Questions: [email protected].
