SCOPE OF THIS COOKIE POLICY

This Cookie Policy describes how TheFlavorMap ("we", "us") may use cookies and similar technologies when you use our products and services, including through our websites, communications (such as email and messages), and mobile apps if offered (collectively, the "Service"). It supplements our Privacy Policy and applies specifically to the tracking technologies described here.

Terms not defined in this Cookie Policy have the same meanings as in our Terms of Service unless otherwise stated.

THE SERVICE

We use cookies and related technologies for purposes connected to the Service, including: providing functionality and security, remembering your settings, analysing usage and performance, personalizing content and results, supporting referral or campaign flows, providing customer support, protecting against abuse, and complying with legal obligations. Processing is carried out in line with the GDPR, ePrivacy rules, and applicable Swedish law.

MOBILE IDENTIFIERS, COOKIES AND TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES

When you use the Service, we and our vendors may collect information through cookies, pixels, tags, scripts, SDKs, and similar technologies (collectively, "cookies" in the broad sense), as well as through device and advertising identifiers where permitted and enabled on your device.

Mobile advertising identifiers

If you use our mobile apps and your device allows it, we may collect and use advertising identifiers (such as Apple’s IDFA or Google’s Advertising ID) to deliver more relevant ads, measure ad performance, and better understand how users interact with the app. You can limit or turn this off through your device’s privacy or ads settings. Disabling may reduce the relevance of ads you see but will not necessarily eliminate advertising altogether.

Cookies and similar technologies on the web

TheFlavorMap and third-party vendors may use cookies in connection with your use of the Service and, in some cases, as you move between our site and other platforms. We control cookies integrated into our own Service; we do not control cookies set solely by external sites — their use is governed by those parties’ own policies.

Cookies may contain or transmit information about you and your use, such as browser type, language, IP address, preferences, data regarding ads shown to you or that you interact with, and the date and time of use. Cookies may be persistent or limited to a single session.

You can adjust cookie preferences through our cookie banner or footer cookie link when available, and through your browser or device settings. If you use multiple devices or browsers, you may need to adjust settings separately for each.

TYPES OF COOKIES WE USE

TheFlavorMap uses the following types of cookies to improve and personalize your experience:

Essential cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function and for security. They are usually set only in response to actions you take, such as setting privacy preferences, signing in, or filling in forms.

Functional cookies

These cookies enable us to provide enhanced functionality and customization—for example by remembering your preferences when you search or navigate the Service.

Analytics cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors use TheFlavorMap and to measure and optimize the performance of the Service.

Advertising and marketing cookies

These cookies are intended to make advertising more relevant to users and help with ad attribution. For example, we may use cookies to serve interest-based ads and to measure ad effectiveness. If you do not allow these cookies, you may experience less personalized advertising, but you will still see ads.

In addition to settings in our cookie banner, you can configure certain cookie choices through your device or browser settings, but doing so may affect functionality. The method varies by device and browser but is typically found under privacy or security settings. For example, iOS and Android offer options to limit ad tracking.

THIRD PARTIES

Vendors who help us with operations, analytics, payments, hosting, or advertising may set their own cookies or collect information under their agreements and policies. We reasonably require them to comply with applicable law and our instructions when processing data on our behalf.

Embedded content (maps, videos), payment widgets, or social sign-in may result in third parties processing data under their terms.

MANAGING YOUR PREFERENCES

When you first visit, a banner may explain cookies and let you accept, reject non-essential cookies, or customize choices. Your consent may be stored in a cookie (e.g. for up to 12 months) before we ask you to confirm again.

  • Chrome — Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies
  • Firefox — Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and site data
  • Edge — Settings → Cookies and site permissions
  • Safari — Preferences → Privacy → Cookies

RETENTION

We retain cookie-related information as long as needed for each purpose: session cookies until you close the browser; analytics and marketing cookies up to 24 months where applicable; consent storage up to 12 months. After that, data is deleted or anonymized to the extent permitted by law.

CHANGES

We may change this Cookie Policy from time to time. The current version is available at /cookie-policy. If we make material changes, we may notify you via a notice on the Service or otherwise. By continuing to use the Service after changes take effect, you agree to the updated policy, to the extent permitted by law.
