Last updated: May 14, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Dine With Me, operated by OF.MediaTech (registered in Ireland), uses cookies and similar technologies to provide, improve, and protect our platform.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember information about your visit, such as your login status and preferences. Similar technologies include local storage and session storage, which serve comparable purposes in modern web applications.
2. Cookies & Storage We Use
Dine With Me uses only essential cookies and browser storage necessary for the platform to function. We do not use advertising or third-party tracking cookies.

| Local Storage (preferences) | Remembers your interface preferences such as theme settings and last-visited pages. | Persistent |
| Session Storage | Temporarily stores page state during your browsing session (e.g., form data, navigation context). | Until tab is closed |

4. How to Manage Cookies
You can control cookies and local storage through your browser settings. Here's how to manage them in popular browsers:

- Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions
Please note that disabling essential cookies or clearing local storage will sign you out and may prevent certain features from working correctly.
5. Do Not Track
Dine With Me does not use tracking cookies and does not track users across third-party websites. We honor Do Not Track (DNT) browser signals, though our platform operates the same way regardless, as we do not engage in cross-site tracking.
