Cookie Policy

Last updated: May 31, 2026

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember information about your visit — such as whether you're logged in or whether you've accepted analytics tracking.

Cookies We Use

MyNutriCart uses cookies in three categories: essential (required to operate), analytics (performance measurement), and marketing (ad measurement). You may opt out of the last two categories.

Essential

Session / Authentication Cookies

Set by NextAuth.js to maintain your login session. Required for the app to function. These cookies are deleted when you sign out or when the session expires (typically 30 days). They contain a signed, encrypted token — no personal data is stored in the cookie itself.

Name: next-auth.session-token · Duration: Up to 30 days · Type: HTTP-only, secure, same-site

Essential

CSRF Protection Cookie

Used to prevent cross-site request forgery attacks on authenticated actions. Required for security.

Name: next-auth.csrf-token · Duration: Session · Type: HTTP-only, secure

Essential

Cookie Consent Preference

Stores your analytics and marketing cookie choice so we don't ask again. Saved in your browser's local storage — not sent to any server.

Key: mnc_analytics_consent · Values: accepted / declined · Type: localStorage

Analytics

Google Analytics 4 (GA4)

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use MyNutriCart — which pages are visited, how long users stay, and which features are most used. This helps us improve the product. GA4 may set cookies on your device and send anonymized usage data to Google LLC servers in the United States.

GA4 is only loaded if you have accepted analytics cookies. If you decline, no GA4 data is collected.

Provider: Google LLC · Cookies: _ga, _ga_* · Duration: Up to 2 years · Data transfer: USA (Google Privacy Policy)

Marketing

Meta Pixel (Facebook Ads)

We use the Meta Pixel to measure the effectiveness of our Facebook and Instagram advertising campaigns — to understand how many users who saw our ads went on to sign up. The Pixel may also enable ad retargeting (showing you MyNutriCart ads on Facebook/Instagram).

The Meta Pixel is only loaded if you have accepted analytics cookies. If you decline, no Pixel data is collected from your visit.

Provider: Meta Platforms, Inc. · Duration: Up to 90 days · Data transfer: USA (Meta Privacy Policy)

Your Choices — Opt Out

When you first visit MyNutriCart, a banner will ask whether you accept analytics and marketing cookies. You can change your choice at any time:

  • Banner: Use the Accept / Decline buttons shown on your first visit.
  • Browser: Clear site data or local storage at any time to reset your preference — the banner will reappear.
  • Google Analytics opt-out: Install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
  • Meta ad preferences: Manage your ad settings at facebook.com/adpreferences.

Declining analytics cookies has no effect on the features available to you — the dashboard, meal plans, grocery lists, and all paid features work exactly the same.

Managing Cookies in Your Browser

You can control or delete cookies directly in your browser settings. Note that deleting essential cookies will sign you out.

  • Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies
  • Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
  • Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Cookies
  • Edge: Settings → Cookies and Site Permissions

Local Storage

In addition to cookies, MyNutriCart may use browser local storage or session storage to cache your meal plan data so it loads faster between pages. This data is stored only on your device and is never transmitted to any third party. It can be cleared via your browser's developer tools or by signing out.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when we add new tracking tools or change how existing ones are configured. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. We will not add new marketing or analytics tools without updating this policy and, where required, re-requesting your consent.
