1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how Calorichat ("we", "our" or "the Company") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website and when you use our nutrition assistant service through WhatsApp.
This policy explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
2. What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used to make websites work or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to site owners.
Cookies set by the site owner (in this case, Calorichat) are called "first-party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the site owner are called "third-party cookies". Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (for example, analytics).
3. Why do we use cookies?
We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons for our website and services to function, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies allow us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our services. Third parties serve cookies through our website for advertising, analytics, and other purposes.
