Last updated: September 17, 2026

This page explains, in simple terms, which cookies the website foodcrossingapp.com uses and why. For anything related to data collected by the app, see our Privacy Policy.

1. What are cookies

2. Cookies we use on this site

The website foodcrossingapp.com uses exclusively technical cookies, necessary for the site's basic operation. They do not require your prior consent because they are not used to profile you or show you advertising.

You can manage or delete cookies at any time from your browser settings. Keep in mind that disabling technical cookies may prevent some site functions, such as staying logged in, from working correctly.
