Cookie & Storage Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Menuly uses cookies and browser storage technologies to deliver secure login sessions, protect platform integrity, and ensure smooth menu browsing.

Last Updated: October 22, 2026

Our Privacy-First Cookie Stance

Menuly believes that hospitality software should be clean and respectful. We use strictly essential cookies and local storage required for authentication and dashboard performance. We do not inject third-party advertising cookies, data broker trackers, or surveillance pixels.

1What Are Cookies & Local Storage?

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or mobile device by websites that you visit. Browser storage (such as localStorage and sessionStorage) enables modern web applications to store lightweight configuration data locally on your device rather than sending repetitive requests to our servers.

These technologies allow Menuly to remember your authenticated session, keep your dish edits safe while you type, and render digital menus with instantaneous speed.

2Categories of Cookies We Use

We classify our browser storage mechanisms into the following specific categories:

1. Strictly Necessary & Security Tokens (Always Active)

These cookies and storage items are fundamental to the operation and security of the website. Without them, you cannot log into your restaurant owner portal or access administrative controls.

menuly_token: Secure session token verifying your authentication status.

menuly_user: Caches basic owner details to reduce server load.

2. Functional & Interface State Storage

Used to remember UI preferences across your sessions, such as whether you have collapsed the sidebar preview, your active menu category tab, or light/dark interface modes.

3. Anonymous Telemetry

We collect aggregate scan counters (e.g., Table 4 scanned 18 times on Friday evening) to provide restaurant owners with useful footfall analytics. These counters are not tied to personal individual diner identities.

3Zero Cross-Site Advertising Trackers

Many online platforms install third-party tracking scripts from advertising networks that track you across the web to serve personalized ads.

Our Promise to Restaurateurs and Diners:

  • We do not partner with third-party behavioral ad networks.
  • We do not sell cookie data to marketing conglomerates or data brokers.
  • We do not embed third-party social media tracking pixels that harvest customer browsing histories.

4Cookie Privacy for Dining Patrons

When a diner scans a Menuly QR code at a dining table, their smartphone opens our progressive web menu. We do not write persistent tracking cookies to diner phones. Once the diner closes their browser tab, their session cleanly ends without leaving residual tracking scripts behind.

5How to Manage or Clear Cookies

You have full control over cookies and can disable or delete them at any time through your web browser preferences. Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from logging into your Menuly merchant portal.
