1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the owners of the site.
This Cookie Policy explains how Okra ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on our marketing website (okra.recipes) and how you can manage your preferences. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
2. Who We Are
Okra operates okra.recipes and the Okra recipe manager and meal planning app. For the purposes of UK data protection law, we are the data controller of your personal data when it is processed via cookies on our marketing site. You can contact us using the details in section 8.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
We use the following types of cookies:
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function properly. They enable basic features such as page navigation and access to secure areas. The website cannot function properly without these cookies, and they do not require your consent under applicable law.
Analytics cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously (or in pseudonymised form). We use this information to improve how our site works. We only set these cookies with your consent.
Preference / functional cookies
These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as cookie consent preferences) and to provide enhanced or more personal features. They may be set by us or by third parties whose services we use. Non-essential preference cookies are only set with your consent.

5. Similar Technologies
We may also use technologies similar to cookies, such as:
- Local storage – to store preferences in your browser where used
- Pixels or tags – for analytics or performance measurement, where we use them and where required by law we will do so only with your consent
Our approach to consent and disclosure for these technologies aligns with our approach to non-essential cookies.
6. Your Choices and Managing Cookies

- Google Analytics: You can opt out of Google Analytics across websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Withdrawing consent for non-essential cookies does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. Updates will be posted on this page and the "Last updated" date will be revised.
