This Cookie Policy explains how Gluten Advisor (the “App”), The GF Recipes (the “Website”), and any related services, features, maps, listings, recipes, articles, advertising, partner links, and communications together called the “Service” use cookies and similar technologies.
The Service is operated by Exponential Financial Consult S.R.L., Strada Gheorghe Doja, Nr. 1, Bloc 37D, Etaj 1, Ap. 36, Ploiesti, Judet Prahova, Romania (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).
This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, Terms & Conditions, and Disclaimer.
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember information such as login status, language preferences, cookie choices, analytics activity, and browsing behavior.
We may also use similar technologies, including:
In this Cookie Policy, “cookies” also refers to these similar technologies where relevant.
This Cookie Policy applies to:

We use CookieYes as our consent management platform to manage cookie consent on the Website.
CookieYes helps us:
CookieYes may set strictly necessary cookies such as cookieyes-* to remember your consent preferences. These cookies are used to store your choices so they can be respected on future visits.
You can change or withdraw your cookie consent at any time by using the CookieYes cookie settings / revisit consent button available on the Website.
These cookies are required for the Service to function. They may be used for security, login, session management, fraud prevention, cookie consent storage, language preferences, spam protection, and basic website functionality.
These cookies do not require consent where they are strictly necessary to provide the Service requested by you.
Examples may include:
If you block strictly necessary cookies, some parts of the Service may not work properly.
Functional cookies help the Website remember choices and provide enhanced features, such as language settings, embedded content functionality, video playback features, and user preferences.
Examples may include:
Analytics cookies help us understand how users interact with the Service. They may tell us which pages or screens are visited, how users navigate, which features are used, whether errors occur, and how the Service performs.
Analytics data may include:
Where required by law, we only use non-essential analytics cookies or similar technologies after receiving your consent.
We may use advertising cookies, mobile advertising identifiers, pixels, tags, SDKs, and similar technologies to show, limit, measure, and improve advertisements.
The Service may use Google AdMob, Google advertising services, or other advertising networks. Ads may be personalized or non-personalized depending on your consent, device settings, region, and applicable law.
Advertising technologies may process:
We do not use voluntarily provided coeliac, allergy, intolerance, or health-related preferences for advertising profiling.
The Service may include affiliate links, booking links, partner links, discount codes, or sponsored links.
Affiliate and partner technologies may track:
This helps us measure whether a partner, affiliate, or booking link resulted in a referral, sale, booking, or commission.
Third-party partners may also place their own cookies or tracking technologies when you visit their websites. Their own cookie policies and privacy policies apply.
The Website may include social sharing buttons, embedded posts, videos, maps, widgets, or other content from third-party platforms.
These third parties may set cookies or collect information when you interact with their content or when embedded content loads.
Examples may include:
We do not control third-party cookies placed by these services.
The Gluten Advisor App may use technologies similar to cookies, including SDKs, local storage, secure storage, mobile identifiers, app-instance identifiers, installation identifiers, analytics events, crash logs, consent signals, push notification tokens, and advertising identifiers.
These may be used to:
The App may use Firebase services, such as Firebase Analytics, Firebase Crashlytics, Firebase Cloud Messaging, Firebase Performance Monitoring, Firebase Remote Config, or similar Firebase tools, depending on the app version and enabled features.
Firebase services may process:
Where required by law, analytics, advertising, or non-essential Firebase-based tracking will only be used after obtaining the required consent.
Crash reporting, security-related diagnostics, and technical reliability tools may be treated differently where they are necessary to maintain the App, detect errors, protect the Service, or provide features requested by you.
You can manage some of these technologies through the App settings, device privacy settings, advertising ID settings, notification settings, and location permission settings.
Where required by law, we ask for your consent before using non-essential cookies or similar technologies.
This may include consent for:
You are not required to accept non-essential cookies to use the basic Service.
You can accept, reject, or manage cookie categories through our CookieYes cookie banner or consent settings.
You can withdraw or change your consent at any time through:
Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before it was withdrawn.
We may use Google services such as Google reCAPTCHA, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Google AdMob, Google Maps, Firebase, YouTube, Google Search Console, or other Google tools.
Google may use cookies, mobile identifiers, local storage, SDKs, and similar technologies to provide security, spam protection, analytics, advertising, fraud prevention, maps, diagnostics, embedded videos, search performance reporting, and related services.
Where required, including for users in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, we request consent for the use of cookies, local storage, mobile identifiers, and personal data for advertising or analytics purposes in line with applicable law and Google’s EU User Consent Policy.
Google Search Console is used to help us understand how the Website appears in Google Search, including search queries, impressions, clicks, indexing status, and technical search-performance information. Google Search Console does not require us to place analytics cookies on your device and is not listed in the cookie table unless cookies or similar technologies related to it are detected in the future.

If CookieYes later identifies the exact Google Analytics cookie name, such as a cookie beginning with _ga_, we may update this list to show the specific cookie name.
The App may use Firebase or similar app technologies that do not always rely on browser cookies but may use SDKs, app-instance identifiers, installation identifiers, local storage, secure storage, device identifiers, analytics events, crash logs, and push notification tokens.
Firebase and similar tools may help us:
Where required, non-essential analytics or advertising-related app technologies will only be used after obtaining the required consent.
Some technical diagnostics and crash reporting may be necessary to maintain and secure the App.
The Website may use Google Analytics to help us understand how visitors use the Website, which pages are viewed, how visitors arrive at the Website, and how the Website performs.
Google Analytics may use cookies such as _ga and _ga_<container-id> to distinguish users, maintain session information, and generate aggregated usage statistics.
Where required by law, Google Analytics cookies are only used after analytics consent is given through CookieYes.
We use Google Analytics to understand and improve the Website. We do not use Google Analytics to identify individual users directly.
We may use Google Search Console to understand how the Website appears in Google Search and to monitor search performance, indexing status, technical issues, and search visibility.
Google Search Console does not normally set visitor-side cookies through our Website. Because of this, it is not included in the detailed cookie list unless CookieYes or another scan detects related cookies or technologies in the future.
Search Console data may include aggregated or technical information such as search queries, impressions, clicks, page URLs, indexing status, and search-performance information.
The Website may embed YouTube videos or YouTube-related content. Even when privacy-enhanced YouTube domains such as youtube-nocookie.com are used, YouTube may still set cookies or similar technologies when embedded content is loaded or interacted with.
YouTube cookies may be used for video playback, bandwidth estimation, user preferences, analytics, fraud prevention, security, or other purposes controlled by YouTube or Google.
These cookies are provided by third parties, and their use is governed by Google’s own privacy and cookie policies.
The Website uses Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms and other parts of the Website from spam, abuse, bots, and malicious activity.
Google reCAPTCHA may set cookies and process technical information such as device data, browser data, IP address, and interaction signals to determine whether activity appears legitimate.
These cookies are considered necessary because they help protect the Website and its users from spam and security abuse.
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings.
Most browsers allow you to:
Browser controls are usually available in the privacy or security settings of your browser.
If you block all cookies, some parts of the Website may not work properly.
On mobile devices, you can manage tracking and identifiers through your operating system settings.
Depending on your device, you may be able to:
Some features, such as nearby map results, may not work properly if you disable location or related permissions.
Some browsers or devices may send “Do Not Track” or similar signals.
Because there is no single industry standard for responding to all such signals, the Service may not respond to every browser-based “Do Not Track” signal.
Where legally required or technically supported, we may honor recognized consent signals, opt-out signals, or global privacy controls.
Cookies may be session cookies or persistent cookies.
Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser.
Persistent cookies remain on your device until they expire or until you delete them.
Retention periods vary depending on the cookie, provider, purpose, and your settings. Some cookies may last only a few minutes, while others may last months or longer.
We aim to keep cookies only for as long as reasonably necessary for their purpose.
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the Service, technology, cookies, providers, legal requirements, or business practices.
The updated version will be indicated by the “Updated at” date above.
If changes are material, we may notify you through the Service, by updating the CookieYes cookie banner, or by other appropriate means.
