We want your access to our Services to be as easy, efficient and useful as possible. To help us do this, we use cookies and similar technologies to improve your experience, to enhance web site security and to show you relevant advertising.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are automatically placed on your Device when you visit almost any website. They are stored by your internet browser and contain basic information about your internet use. Your browser sends these cookies back to a website or app every time you revisit it, so it can recognize your Device and improve your experience by, among other things, providing you with personalised content. We also use cookies to remember your login details, so you don’t have to re-enter them repeatedly when you use our Services. Other cookies help us understand your preferences.
The cookies we use fall into three categories.

Essential |
These cookies are necessary to help you access and move around the website and app and use all its features. Without these cookies, the website and app would not work properly and you would not be able to use certain important features. For example, we use a cookie to keep you logged in during your visit, so the website and app do not require you to log in repeatedly to access different pages. We may also use essential cookies for fraud detection and prevention purposes. You cannot turn off essential cookies through the Cookie Consent Tool, as such cookies are necessary for you to access and use the features of the website. |
Analytics and customisation |
We use these cookies to help us understand how the website and app are being used and how we can improve your experience of it. These cookies can provide us with information to help us understand which parts of the website or app interest our visitors and if they experience any errors. We use these cookies to test different designs and features for our websites or apps and we also use them to help us monitor how visitors reach the website and app. We also use cookies to save your settings and preferences on the website and the app, such as language preference and information you've previously entered when searching for restaurant options. Some customisation cookies are essential if you want to use certain features of the website and the app. |
Advertising |
Advertising cookies help ensure that the advertisements you see are as relevant to you as possible. For example, some advertising cookies help select ads that are based on your interests. Others help prevent the same ad from continuously reappearing for you. We also use cookies to make it easy to share content from the website and the app with your friends through your favourite social networks. Social media sites may set cookies that recognise you when you view content on the website and allow you to share content across the website, the app and the social media site via the use of sharing settings. For further details, please check your social media site’s terms of use and privacy policy. We also work with third-party advertisers to give you access to restaurant content that might be of interest, and may set cookies on our Services to provide you with advertising that matches your interests and preferences. These "third-party cookies" collect information about your browsing behaviour and interaction with ads or the Services more generally. This information also helps us limit the number of times you may see the same ads and improve your online experience. |
To give you control, we provide you with a Cookie Consent Tool, which allows you to review the first party and third-party cookies placed through our website and adjust your cookie settings, including whether to accept or decline such cookies.
You can manage cookies through the settings of your internet browser. You can have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, delete individual cookies or delete all cookies.
