What is stored
- Favorites, likes, the shopping list and your Amazon store choice: stored in your browser when signed out. When signed in, favorites, likes and the shopping list are also saved to your account on our server and shared across devices using the same Google account. Cooking records, pantry data and your Amazon store choice remain local to this browser
- Anonymous ID (cookie: pm_uid): a random identifier kept for one year to prevent duplicate likes and sync favorites. It does not identify you
- Region: to choose which Amazon store purchase links open, we read the country code attached by Cloudflare once and keep it in your browser. IP addresses are not stored
- Server side: likes and favorites tied to the anonymous ID, and a count of AI concierge requests (for the daily limit)
A secure HttpOnly cookie (pm_session, up to 30 days) maintains your session. Account profile information is not sent to the pasta selection AI.
AI concierge
After you pause typing in the consultation field, your request is sent to TypeSafe’s Jev API to rank candidate dishes. When you request detailed advice, your request and pantry information are sent to Anthropic’s Claude API to generate a suggestion. Do not enter identifying personal information. A hashed IP identifier is used to limit repeated requests.

Deleting your data
