Effective Date: December 01, 2025

This Cookie Policy explains how mumfoodcorner (the “Site”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit https://mumfoodcorner.com. By accessing or using the Site, you consent to the placement and use of cookies as described in this policy.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They allow the website to remember information about your visit, such as your preferences, login status, or analytics data. Cookies can be either “first‑party” (set by the Site you are visiting) or “third‑party” (set by external services that provide content or functionality on the Site).

Types of Cookies We Use

1. Essential Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for the Site to function correctly. They enable core features such as navigation, secure login, and access to protected areas. Without these cookies, the Site would not be able to provide the services you expect.

• Session_ID – Stores a temporary identifier that keeps you logged in while you browse the Site.
• csrf_token – Helps protect against cross‑site request forgery attacks.

2. Analytics Cookies (Google Analytics)

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our Site, which pages are most popular, and where improvements are needed. These cookies collect anonymous information such as page views, session duration, and referral sources.

• _ga – Distinguishes unique users by assigning a random number.
• _gid – Tracks user behavior across sessions.
• _gat – Controls the rate at which data is sent to Google Analytics.

3. Social Media Cookies

Our Site includes social sharing buttons and embedded content from Pinterest, Instagram, and Facebook. These third‑party cookies enable you to share recipes, comment, and like content directly from the Site. They may also be used by the social platforms to personalize ads based on your interaction.

• _pinterest_sess – Allows Pinterest to remember your session when you interact with Pin It buttons.
• instagram_cookie – Enables Instagram to identify you when you click “Follow” or view embedded posts.
• fbp – Used by Facebook to deliver a series of advertisement products such as real‑time bidding from third‑party advertisers.

4. Preference Cookies

These cookies store your preferences and settings, such as language selection, theme (light/dark mode), and the layout of the recipe filters you use most often. They help us provide a more personalized experience each time you return to the Site.

• language_pref – Remembers the language you selected for the interface.
• theme_mode – Saves whether you prefer a light or dark visual theme.
• filter_settings – Keeps your last used recipe filter choices (e.g., gluten‑free, quick meals).

How Long Do Cookies Remain Active?
