Cookie & Client-Side Storage Policy

1. Implied Consent & Mandatory Acceptance

BY ACCESSING, BROWSING, OR UTILIZING ANY SERVICE, PAGE, OR FEATURE ON OUR WEBSITE, YOU EXPLICITLY AGREE AND GIVE FULL IMPLIED CONSENT TO OUR AUTOMATED DEPLOYMENT AND READING OF COOKIES, HTML5 LOCAL STORAGE, SESSION STORAGE, AND WEB BEACONS ON YOUR HARDWARE DEVICE.

If you do not accept the automatic usage of local client-side storage technologies, you must immediately close your browser session and cease all access to our Site.

2. Technical Necessity of HTML5 Local Storage

Unlike legacy static websites that rely strictly on HTTP cookies, our modern web architecture requires HTML5 Local Storage and Session Storage to operate correctly. Local storage persists key-value data directly within your web browser without bloating HTTP header packets on every request.

Primary operational functions of Local Storage include:

• Active Cart Persistence: Retaining chosen food items, order quantities, custom spice modifications, and instruction notes across navigation screens.
• Branch Location Locking: Storing your selected physical restaurant branch, pickup time, or DoorDash delivery address zone.
• Authentication State: Securing OAuth tokens and session hashes to maintain logged-in status.
• Checkout State Preservation: Preserving form values during checkout to prevent data loss if your connection drops.

3. Analytics Tracking via PostHog Storage

We utilize PostHog analytics software, which places persistent key-value identifiers inside your browser's local storage and cookie container.

These tracking objects maintain a consistent, unique user hash across session restarts. This enables PostHog to map checkout telemetry, log interaction paths, monitor API response speeds, and capture technical error logs directly from your device during checkout.

4. Third-Party Storage Objects

When you interact with integrated embedded features on our website, third-party technology partners deploy their own client-side storage objects:

• Stripe, Inc.: Deploys fraud-prevention telemetry cookies and local storage tokens during checkout to assess device trust score.
• DoorDash, Inc.: Stores temporary geolocation and dispatch routing parameters when rendering delivery zone maps.

5. Disabling Local Storage & Operational Consequences

You can configure your internet browser settings to block or delete cookies and HTML5 Local Storage. However, because our digital ordering platform relies on local storage to construct food order objects, disabling client-side storage will render the online cart unusable, completely preventing you from completing checkout.
