Cookie Policy
Last updated: May 2026
This page lists every cookie set by healthyfoodsegypt.com, what it does, and how long it persists. The cookie banner you see on first visit lets you accept or reject categories beyond what's strictly necessary.
1. Categories
We group cookies into three categories. Only Necessary cookies are active by default.
- Necessary: required for the site to function: consent state, authentication on the admin area, and abuse protection on forms.
- Analytics: anonymised measurement of page views, referrer, and traffic source. Loaded only after explicit consent.
- Marketing: currently unused. Will be requested separately if we add advertising pixels in the future.
2. Cookies We Set
| Name | Category | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| hfe-consent | Necessary | Stores your consent choices for analytics and marketing cookies. | 12 months |
| next-auth.session-token | Necessary | Authenticates administrators inside the /admin area. Not set for public visitors. | 12 hours |
| next-auth.csrf-token | Necessary | Cross-site request forgery protection for the admin sign-in form. | Session |
| _ga, _ga_* | Analytics | Google Analytics 4: anonymised usage analytics. Loaded only after consent. | 13 months |
| cf_chl_* | Necessary | Cloudflare Turnstile: invisible abuse-prevention challenge on public forms. | Session |
3. Changing Your Preferences
You can change your consent choices at any time by clearing the hfe-consent cookie from your browser; the banner will reappear on your next visit. A dedicated "Manage cookies" link in the footer is on the Phase 8 roadmap.
4. Browser Controls
Independent of our banner, you can block or delete cookies via your browser settings. Blocking necessary cookies will break authentication inside the admin area and may prevent form submissions. It will not affect anonymous browsing of the public site.
