In short
The site stores on your device only what it needs to work and, if you accept, the place you are looking for. Le Plat du Jour uses no statistics or tracking tool. Google ads are only personalised with your consent. You can change your mind at any time with “Manage cookies”, here or at the bottom of every page.

Advertising: only with your consent
Google ads pay for free browsing. Your consent is requested by Google’s message, a certified consent platform. Without consent, Google only shows non-personalised ads and uses its cookies only to limit fraud and repetition. The “ad-free” subscription removes all ads; a signed-in restaurant owner sees none.

Site administration
Two cookies only concern the D.G.E. Concept Sàrl team in the back office: lpdj_admin_trust (recognise a trusted device, 30 days) and lpdj_pp (rows per page, 1 year). They are never set for visitors.
External services without cookies
When a map is shown, map tiles are loaded from OpenStreetMap, which receives your IP address to send them to you. The site passes no other data to it.
The translation offered on venue pages uses the translator built into your browser, on your device.
