Cookie Policy
Last updated: 13 November 2026
This policy explains which cookies and similar technologies the website getfoodies.com uses, what for, and how you can choose. The website is run by Get Casa, Unipessoal Lda (GetFoodies), Portuguese company number (NIPC) 517962756, Edifício Uptown, Estrada de São João, 13, Bloco A 4R, 9000-123 Funchal, Portugal. We follow the GDPR and the Portuguese law on privacy in electronic communications (Law 41/2004).
What cookies are
Cookies are small files a website stores on your device. Similar technologies, such as your browser’s local storage (localStorage) and session storage (sessionStorage), work in much the same way and are treated as cookies here. On getfoodies.com we use very few: strictly necessary and preference storage and, only if you accept, analytics cookies.
Strictly necessary and preferences (no consent needed)
These remember your cookie choice and choices you made (such as the country for prices), and keep a few details of your visit so that sign-up works as you asked. Without them, the site cannot work as you requested. The law allows them without consent, but we tell you about them here. The restaurant dashboard (app.getfoodies.pt) also uses strictly necessary storage to keep you signed in and protect your account.
Analytics (only with your consent)
We use Google Analytics 4 (ID G-NFS3PPBTF1), from Google, to see in aggregate how many people visit the site, which pages they view and where they come from. Google Analytics is only loaded after you click “Accept”. Before that, or if you click “Reject”, your browser sends no request to Google and no analytics cookie is set. We do not use this data for advertising.
Advertising
We do not use advertising or social media cookies today. If we ever add tools such as the Meta Pixel or Google Ads, they will only load after your consent, and we will update this page beforehand.
Cookie list
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| gf-cookie-consent | GetFoodies (browser local storage) | Strictly necessary. Stores your choice (“accepted” or “rejected”) so we do not ask again on every visit. | Until you clear the site’s data in your browser or change your choice. |
| gf_country | GetFoodies (browser local storage) | Preference. Stores the country you picked in “Change country”, to show the right prices. | Until you clear the site’s data in your browser. |
| gf_attr | GetFoodies (browser session storage) | Preference. Keeps, for the visit, some parameters of the link you arrived through (utm_*, country and pos), so they are passed to sign-up if you click to start. The partner code is not kept here. It is not sent to third parties. | Until you close the tab. |
| gf-ref | GetFoodies (browser local storage) | Only with your consent. If you arrived through a partner link (with ?ref=), it keeps that partner’s code, so it can be added to the sign-up link if you sign up later. It is not sent to third parties. If you reject, it is deleted. | 90 days. |
| _ga | Google (Google Analytics 4) | Analytics. Distinguishes visitors pseudonymously to count visits. | Up to 2 years. |
| _ga_NFS3PPBTF1 | Google (Google Analytics 4) | Analytics. Keeps the state of your visit for the statistics. | Up to 2 years. |
The _ga and _ga_NFS3PPBTF1 cookies only exist if you have accepted analytics cookies. Google processes this data as our processor and may process it in the United States, under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and/or Standard Contractual Clauses.
When you click to sign up after accepting, the sign-up link tells the dashboard that you consented, so it can keep the partner code under the same consent.
How we pick the prices for your country
If you have not picked a country, the pricing section asks our own small function on the site (/api/country) which country you are in. That function, run by our hosting provider, reads the country from the hosting provider’s own location header, which is worked out from your IP address, and returns only the country code. It calls no third party, stores nothing and sets no cookie. If the lookup fails, or JavaScript is off, prices are shown in euros. The pricing section may also ask our own server how many founding places are left; that request stores nothing on your device.
How to change your choice
You can change your mind at any time: click “Cookie settings” in the footer of any page and choose again. If you reject after accepting, Google Analytics stops measuring, we delete this site’s _ga cookies and we delete the stored partner code. You can also delete or block cookies and site data in your browser settings; if you block the strictly necessary ones, parts of the site may stop working.
