What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, improve efficiency, and provide reporting information. ReelToMeal uses a minimal set of cookies and local browser storage to deliver a smooth, personalized experience.
How ReelToMeal Uses Storage
ReelToMeal does not set first-party cookies for tracking or advertising purposes. Instead, we use browser localStorage to store:
- Your saved recipes and recipe collection
- Your theme preference (light or dark mode)
- Application settings and UI state
This data stays on your device and is never transmitted to our servers unless you explicitly sign in and choose to sync your recipes to the cloud.
Third-Party Cookies
We use third-party services that may place cookies on your device. Here is a summary of each service and its purpose:

Purpose: Helps us understand how visitors use ReelToMeal — which features are popular, where visitors come from, and how the site performs. All data is aggregated and anonymous.
Opt out: Install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on or adjust your browser's cookie settings.
Google AdSense
Purpose: ReelToMeal is supported by advertising. Google AdSense uses cookies to serve ads that are relevant to you and to measure ad performance. This is how we keep the service free for everyone.
