Cookie Policy

Last updated: May 31, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how FSO Directory (fso.food1947.com) uses cookies and similar technologies to improve your browsing experience. By continuing to use our website, you consent to our use of cookies as described here.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They help the website remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, or theme) over a period of time, so you don't have to re‑enter them each time you return.

2. What Cookies Do We Use?

We use only essential and functional cookies. We do NOT use advertising or tracking cookies from third‑party networks. Specifically:

  • Session cookies: Temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They help the website function properly (e.g., processing forms, remembering that you closed a notice).
  • Persistent cookies: These remain on your device for a set period (up to 30 days). They remember your preference if you dismiss a notice (e.g., “I don't want to see this again”).
  • No third‑party tracking: We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook pixels, or any external tracking that would place additional cookies.

3. Why Do We Use Cookies?

We use cookies strictly to:

  • Keep the website functioning correctly (e.g., form submissions, navigation).
  • Remember your preferences (e.g., if you closed a pop‑up notice, so we don’t show it again).
  • Improve website performance and security.

We do not use cookies to track you across other websites or for advertising purposes.

4. How to Control or Delete Cookies

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can:

  • View which cookies are stored and delete them individually.
  • Block all cookies (including essential ones), but this may cause some parts of our website to stop working properly.
  • Set your browser to notify you when a cookie is being placed.

To learn how to manage cookies in your browser, visit the help section of your browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari).

5. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date. Your continued use of the site after changes means you accept the revised policy.
