This policy explains what cookies and similar browser storage technologies GoDeli uses and why. We keep this simple because we keep our use of cookies simple.
GoDeli uses strictly necessary browser storage, plus optional analytics storage that is only switched on if you choose “Accept analytics” in the cookie banner. We do not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or third-party analytics. We do not build profiles of visitors or track you across other sites.
| Storage | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Firebase Auth token | localStorage / IndexedDB | Keeps deli owners logged in to their management dashboard | Until you sign out or it expires |
| Firebase anonymous session | localStorage / IndexedDB | Created when you place an order so your browser can place and confirm it without an account | Until you clear your browser data |
| Firebase Firestore cache | IndexedDB | Local cache of deli and order data for faster loading | Session / auto-cleared by browser |
| Staff session | sessionStorage | Keeps deli staff logged in to the live order screen | Until the browser tab is closed |
Visitor ID godeli_vid (optional, analytics only) | localStorage | A random number that lets us tell new from returning visitors in our own analytics. It contains nothing about you | Until you clear your browser data or choose “Essential only” |
Visit ID godeli_sid (optional, analytics only) | sessionStorage | A random number that groups the pages and taps of one visit together in our own analytics | Until the browser tab is closed |
| Cookie consent | localStorage | Remembers that you have acknowledged this notice | 1 year |
When you complete a payment, the SumUp checkout widget may set its own cookies for fraud prevention and payment session management. These are governed by SumUp's Privacy Policy.
Because we only use strictly necessary storage, blocking these will prevent the site from working correctly. For example, you will not be able to remain signed in as a deli owner or staff member.
Analytics are optional. You can change your mind at any time with “Cookie settings” in the footer of every page. Choosing “Essential only” stops the measuring straight away and deletes the visitor and visit IDs from your device.
You can clear all browser storage at any time through your browser settings. For instructions, search "clear site data" for your browser.
Deli staff can use their device camera to scan a QR code when printing a customer's image. This is a browser permission, not a cookie. The camera is used only while the scanner is open, and nothing from it is recorded or stored.
If you allow location access on the homepage, your device coordinates are used only to sort delis by distance. This data is processed in your browser and is never sent to or stored on our servers.
