What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site function, remember your preferences, and provide information to the site owners.
How We Use Cookies
This site (toomuchfood.com / toomanycalories.com) uses essential CDN cookies, a local consent preference, optional Google Analytics 4 (via Tag Manager, same Tabaconda portfolio stream as our other sites), and Amazon cookies only if you click an affiliate link. We do not use display-advertising cookies.
Our CDN provider (Cloudflare) may set essential security cookies to protect the site from malicious traffic. These are strictly necessary and cannot be disabled.

Affiliate Cookies (Amazon)
This site participates in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. When you click an affiliate link to Amazon.com, Amazon may set cookies on your device to track the referral. These cookies are set by Amazon, not by us.

Amazon's cookies are only set when you click an affiliate link. See Amazon's Privacy Notice for full details.
Analytics cookies (require Accept All)
These are set only after you click Accept All. They are the same Google Analytics 4 stream used across the Tabaconda portfolio (G-18BXMR927W via container GTM-TS879NPB). Reports are split by hostname.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga, _ga_* | Google Analytics 4 | Distinguish visitors and sessions | Up to 13 months |

Without consent, Google Consent Mode keeps analytics_storage denied and these cookies are not set. We do not run Google AdSense, retargeting pixels, or social tracking on this site.
Interactive Tools
The calculators on this site (BMI calculator, macros calculator) use browser local storage only to remember your last inputs for convenience. This data never leaves your device and is not transmitted to any server. You can clear it at any time through your browser settings.
How to Manage Cookies
We display a cookie consent banner on your first visit. You can choose to accept all cookies or use only essential cookies. You can change your preference at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the site.
You can manage or block all cookies through your browser settings:
Note: blocking essential CDN cookies may affect your ability to access the site.
Global Privacy Control (GPC)
We honour the Global Privacy Control (GPC) browser signal. A GPC signal is treated as Essential Only: analytics cookies stay off and the banner is not shown.
