Introduction to website storage
This Cookie Policy explains the small browser storage features used by Foodora Wellness at foodorawellness.info. The website contains educational material about balanced eating and forms for general inquiries and online consultation requests. Some technical storage helps those forms work reliably; other storage can remember visitor choices. We believe the difference should be understandable without requiring readers to interpret lengthy technical tables. The two choices displayed in the cookie banner are described below, along with external services active on the site.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text values that a website can ask a browser to keep and send with later requests. They can help a website connect requests that belong to the same visit. Browsers also offer local storage, which can keep a preference directly in the browser without automatically sending that value with every page request. Foodora Wellness uses both a session cookie for form security and a local storage record for cookie preferences. These are different mechanisms, but both deserve a clear explanation.
Essential session functionality
When a visitor opens the website, the PHP application may create a session cookie named foodorawellness_session. It helps the website associate a form security token with the current browser visit. The token is checked when contact or consultation information is submitted, reducing the chance of an unrelated website sending requests on someone else’s behalf. The session cookie uses browser security settings such as HttpOnly and SameSite. It remains an essential part of the form workflow rather than an optional audience measurement tool.
Why the security token matters
A form request contains an internal token generated for the visitor’s session. When a form is sent, the server compares that token with the one held in the session. A missing or mismatched value results in an error response, and the visitor is asked to refresh the page. This protects a specific part of the submission process; it does not replace good hosting configuration or every other safeguard. Essential storage is required for the forms to work as designed, so the Essential Only choice keeps it available.
Preference storage in your browser
After a choice is made in the cookie banner, Foodora Wellness writes a local storage value named foodorawellness_cookie_consent_v1. This record includes the selected categories and the time of the choice. Its purpose is to avoid showing the same banner on every page visit and to make the preference panel reflect the stored selection. Because this is browser-local storage, deleting the site data or using another browser may make the banner appear again. The record itself is not a submitted contact form.
Remember Preferences
Choosing Remember Preferences records the use of essential session storage and a browser-local preference setting for Foodora Wellness. This choice does not enable additional cookies, third-party tracking, or analytics software; none of those optional services is installed in the delivered site.
Essential Only
Choosing Essential Only leaves preference features disabled in the saved selection, but stores the essential choice locally so the banner does not reappear on every visit. Essential session storage continues to support protected forms. No analytics category is offered because the site has no analytics integration.
What the choices do
Both choices keep the essential PHP session cookie used for CSRF form protection. Remember Preferences also records that the visitor accepts browser-local preference functionality. Essential Only records that preference features should remain disabled. Neither choice starts marketing cookies, retargeting scripts, or optional statistics services.
Reopening and editing your choices
The Cookie Preferences link in the footer opens a dialog where you can change the remembered preference setting. Essential form security remains always enabled. The dialog can be closed and the new selection saved in the browser. A choice saved in one browser does not automatically transfer to another device.
Optional analytics and advertising
Foodora Wellness does not include an optional analytics script, targeted advertising tool, or user profiling service in the delivered website. The cookie banner does not offer an inactive analytics switch. If any such tool is added later, this policy and the associated consent controls must be reviewed before it is enabled.
External resources and browser requests
The website currently loads typography from Google Fonts, and its stylesheets and editorial photography are served locally. A browser contacting Google Fonts may send normal connection information. No optional analytics or targeted advertising scripts are installed. Review any future externally loaded tools before changing this policy.
Duration, browser controls, and updates
The session cookie is configured for the browser session, while the local preference record can remain until browser data is cleared or the visitor changes the choice. Browsers generally allow people to inspect, block, or remove cookies and local storage, although blocking essential cookies may interrupt form submissions. This policy reflects the implementation described as of 30 October 2026 and may be updated when site features change.
