Cookie Policy

Last Updated: January 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how The Food Perspective uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. We are committed to transparency about our minimal use of cookies.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to remember your preferences and recognize your browser on subsequent visits. Cookies can be "persistent" (remaining on your device until deleted or expired) or "session" (deleted when you close your browser).

Our Use of Cookies

The Food Perspective uses only strictly necessary cookies required for basic website functionality. We do not use optional cookies, tracking cookies, analytics cookies, marketing cookies, or any other non-essential cookies.

Strictly Necessary Cookies

We use one essential function via browser local storage:

• Cookie Notice Acknowledgment: Stores your acknowledgment of the cookie notice so it does not appear on every page visit
• Purpose: Essential for site usability
• Duration: Persistent until you clear browser data
• Data Stored: Simple acknowledgment flag (no personal information)

This functionality is necessary for the website to operate properly and cannot be disabled through our website settings.

What We Do Not Use

The Food Perspective explicitly does not use:

• Analytics Cookies: No Google Analytics, no visitor tracking, no usage statistics
• Marketing Cookies: No advertising networks, no remarketing, no conversion tracking
• Social Media Cookies: No Facebook pixels, no social media integrations, no sharing trackers
• Performance Cookies: No performance monitoring beyond essential functionality
• Personalization Cookies: No user profiling, no content customization based on behavior
• Third-Party Cookies: No cookies from external services for tracking or analytics purposes

Third-Party Services

This website uses Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) to load Bootstrap CSS and jQuery libraries. These services may process technical information such as IP addresses according to their own policies, but we do not use these services for tracking or analytics purposes.

We do not integrate any third-party services that would place optional cookies on your device.

• View what cookies are stored and delete them individually
• Block third-party cookies
• Block all cookies from specific websites
• Block all cookies from all websites
• Delete all cookies when you close your browser

Impact of Disabling Cookies

Since we use only essential functionality via local storage, disabling or clearing this data will only result in:

If you access this website through a mobile device, you can manage cookies through your mobile browser settings:

No Consent Required for Essential Cookies

Under UK GDPR and Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), strictly necessary cookies do not require user consent because they are essential for the website to function. Our minimal use of local storage for the cookie notice acknowledgment falls under this category.

We do not use any optional cookies that would require your explicit consent.

No Cookie Preference Center

Because we only use strictly necessary functionality and no optional cookies, we do not provide a cookie preference center. There are no optional cookies to enable or disable through our website interface.

Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy if our use of cookies changes. The "Last Updated" date indicates the most recent revision. Any changes will be posted on this page.
