Cookie Policy
Last updated: October 1, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how TekDot POS (“TekDot”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our websites and apps, including our website www.tekdotpos.com, restaurant-specific TekDot URLs under it, and the POS, Waiter, Kitchen Display, Reservation, QR Menu, and Boss Reports apps. For how we handle personal data in general, see our Privacy Policy.
In short
- We only use cookies and storage needed to run TekDot and remember your preferences.
- No advertising cookies. No cross-site tracking. We do not sell your data.
- We ask for your device location only if you click Accept, and only if your browser allows it.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. We also use similar technologies — localStorage, sessionStorage, and service worker caches — that store information in your browser. In this policy, “cookies” covers all of these.
2. Types of cookies we use
Strictly necessary
Required for login, security, and the POS to work. These are always on, because the Services cannot work without them.
- Session cookie that keeps you signed in and remembers which restaurant (tenant) you are using
- Security protections such as HTTP-only and SameSite cookie flags
- Device helpers for the Waiter, Kitchen, and Reservation apps (for example the restaurant link a device is set up for)
Preferences
Remember choices you make so you don’t have to repeat them.
- Language selection
- Your cookie banner choice
- Interface settings, such as a dismissed install prompt or selected report tab
Performance & offline
- Service worker / app cache so installed apps (POS, Reservation, Boss Reports) load fast and show an offline screen when the internet drops
- Fonts, icons, and maps loaded from trusted providers (see Section 4)
What we don’t use
We do not use advertising, retargeting, or social-media tracking cookies, and we do not run third-party analytics trackers on our website.
3. Cookies and storage in detail
| Name / type | Purpose | Category | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| PHP session cookie (PHPSESSID) | Keeps you logged in to TekDot POS and related apps | Strictly necessary | Session, or longer if your restaurant keeps staff signed in |
| tekdot-cookie-consent | Remembers your cookie banner choice so we don’t ask again | Strictly necessary | Until cleared (localStorage) |
| tekdot-lang / tekdot-ui-lang | Remembers your language | Preferences | Until cleared (localStorage) |
| Restaurant app storage | Restaurant link for Waiter / Kitchen devices, install-prompt dismissal, UI settings | Strictly necessary / Preferences | Until cleared |
| reserve_geofence_* (guest apps) | Random device ID and “already greeted” flags so a guest isn’t greeted twice, when the restaurant uses Geofence | Preferences | Until cleared / end of browser session |
| Service worker cache | Stores app files for fast loading and the offline screen | Performance | Until the app updates or you clear site data |
| Third-party providers | Font, icon, and map providers may receive your IP address and set their own cookies when their files load | Performance | Controlled by those providers |
4. Third-party providers
Our pages may load files from these providers, who receive your IP address and browser details under their own policies:
- Google Fonts (fonts)
- Font Awesome and cdnjs / Cloudflare (icons and libraries)
- OpenStreetMap / Leaflet map tiles (maps in Geofence settings and guest apps)
5. Cookie banner & location
Essential only
We save your choice and use only strictly necessary and preference storage. We do not ask for your location and do not send a visitor notification.
Accept
Your browser may ask for permission to share your location. If you allow it, we send a notification to our internal team containing:
- Your IP address and approximate or precise device coordinates
- Your choice, page URL, browser language, and device / browser type
We use this to understand which countries and cities our visitors come from and to follow up on sales enquiries in your area. If you deny the location prompt, we receive your IP address and choice only. You can turn location off at any time in your browser settings.
6. Location in guest apps
If a restaurant turns on Geofence, its Reservation app or QR Menu may ask the guest for location permission. The location is checked on the guest’s device to show a welcome or thank-you message, or to allow ordering only at the venue. When the guest arrives, the restaurant receives one arrival notification with the location and distance so staff can greet them. We do not build a location history. Guests can refuse location permission and still view the menu.
7. Managing your choices
- Change your banner choice using the button below — the banner will appear again on your next visit to our homepage
- Turn off location for our site in your browser or phone settings
- Clear cookies and site data in your browser settings
- Block cookies in your browser (blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent login)
8. Updates
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when we do. If we start using a new type of non-essential cookie, we will ask for your choice again.
