Terms of use

Effective November 4, 2026

Agreement

Cookie is developed and operated by BC Software LLC, based in Washington State, USA. By using Cookie, on the web or in the apps, you agree to these terms and to the privacy policy. You must be at least 13 to use Cookie, and if you are under the age of majority where you live, you need a parent's or guardian's consent.

Your content

Your recipes, photos, plans and lists are yours. By putting them in Cookie you give us only the licence we need to store them, show them to you and to the people you share them with, and to run the features you use on them (reading, translating, matching to a store). That licence ends when you delete the content or your account, except for copies in backups you have made.

When you share into a group, the people in that group can see, cook from and, if you allow it, edit what you shared. Removing them from the group, or leaving it, stops that going forward.

Acceptable use

Don't use Cookie to break the law or someone else's rights. Don't upload content you don't have the right to share. Don't try to get around limits, automate the service, probe it for weaknesses, or interfere with other people's use of it. Don't impersonate anyone. We can suspend or close accounts that do these things.

What's ours

Cookie's name, design, code, apps and service belong to BC Software LLC. You get a personal, non-transferable right to use them under these terms, nothing more.

Other services

Cookie depends on services we don't control: sign-in from Apple and Google, recipe reading by Anthropic, store catalogues from Kroger and Walmart, barcodes from Open Food Facts. Prices, aisles and stock come from the store's data and can be wrong or out of date; check the shelf. We are not responsible for those services, their accuracy or their availability.

Paid features

Cookie Pro is an optional subscription, sold in the iPhone app through the App Store and in the Android app through Google Play. The price, term and renewal are shown before you buy. It renews automatically until you cancel, and you manage or cancel it in the store you bought it from, which also handles refunds. Pro belongs to the Cookie account you were signed in to when you bought it, on every device and on the site.

Pro's recipe reading is unlimited for personal use. After a heavy month of reading, recipes may be read by a faster model, and we may limit automated or bulk use.

Safe cooking information

The safe-temperature tables come from public health authorities and are provided for convenience. They are not professional advice. Follow your local authority's guidance and your own judgement.

No warranty and limits on liability

Cookie is provided as is. We don't promise it will always work, be error-free, or keep your data without loss; keep backups of what matters to you. To the extent the law allows, our total liability to you for anything arising from Cookie is limited to the greater of what you paid us in the twelve months before the claim or 50 US dollars.

Ending things

You can stop using Cookie and delete your account at any time (see the privacy policy for how). We can suspend or end your access if you break these terms, or shut the service down with reasonable notice, in which case you can export your data first.

Law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Washington, USA. If we have a disagreement, email us first and we will try to sort it out. If we can't, it goes to the courts of King County, Washington.

Changes

We may update these terms. If a change matters, we will say so in the app and here, with a new effective date. Using Cookie after that means you accept the new terms.
