  • maintain platform security and anti-fraud checks
  • render live digital membership passes for in-store counter redemptions
  • understand how visitors use the Platform to improve performance

Cookies may be placed directly by FoodVault (“first-party cookies”) or by trusted third-party technology providers (“third-party cookies”).

This information includes:

Marketing Cookies

FoodVault does not currently use marketing or targeted advertising cookies.

If this changes in the future, this policy will be updated and explicit consent will be requested where required by law.

FoodVault relies on trusted third-party providers that may set cookies or use similar storage technologies to support our operations. These include:

Payment Processing

Stripe uses secure cookies and storage to manage billing portals, card verifications, and subscription processing.

Platform Security & Infrastructure

Cloud infrastructure, mapping, and security providers (such as Cloudflare) use essential cookies to block malicious bots, deliver content quickly, and protect user sessions.

Third-party providers operate under their own privacy and cookie policies. FoodVault does not control third-party tracking technologies.
