Privacy policy
Last updated October 23, 2026. This page explains what data GetMacros.net does and doesn't collect.
In this guide
What we don't collect
GetMacros.net has no user accounts, no sign-up forms, and no server-side database. If you email us, your email provider delivers your message and address to our published contact mailbox.
What's stored in your browser
The site stores your appearance, color-theme and calm-motion preferences, saved restaurant meals, article and game bookmarks, and an unfinished meal quiz in localStorage on your device. Opening a quiz starts with no answers selected; use Resume to restore an unfinished quiz. Start fresh clears that draft, and completing the quiz removes it. These meal choices and targets are not sent to an analytics or advertising provider. Clearing site data removes these settings and saved meals. Calculator arithmetic runs in the page without submitting your entries to a GetMacros calculation server.
Game completions, the last puzzle seed and saved artwork are also stored locally. They are not an account or cross-device sync. Clearing site storage removes these records.
Reviewed comparisons retain up to two public food records, portion amounts and the comparison basis in this browser’s local storage. Clear comparison removes those selections. Shared comparison links include the public food identifiers and selected portions; they do not include diary entries or private notes. Anyone receiving a link can see its portions, and the requested URL may appear in hosting logs.
Shared meal-finder links
Meal-finder choices can appear in the page URL so you can revisit or share the same filters. Anyone receiving that link can see those choices. URLs may also appear in browser history and hosting logs when requested. Do not put sensitive personal information in a shared link.
Hosting and basic logs
Cloudflare helps deliver and protect the site. Hosting and network services may process technical details such as IP addresses, browser information and requested URLs for security and operation. These logs are separate from calculator arithmetic, which runs in your browser.
Traffic measurement
Google Analytics 4 measures visits to public GetMacros pages only after you choose Allow analytics. It uses first-party analytics cookies (configured to expire after 90 days) and sends Google a published page address, page title, referring site, and technical visit information. Query parameters and fragments are removed from page addresses. Navigation clicks record only a general destination such as Learn, Play or the meal finder, not the link text, search terms or selected meal. Google Signals and advertising personalization are disabled in this site's tag configuration. This is optional: choosing No thanks keeps the Google tag unloaded.
The Google tag is not loaded on the diary, finder, calculators, food search, comparison, saved-food or contact tools. GetMacros does not forward food logs, notes, goals, body measurements, calculator answers or search terms to Google Analytics. Consent, browser exclusion and optional diagnostic mode are saved locally until changed or browser storage is cleared. Diagnostic visits use separate analytics cookies and labeled events so they can be distinguished from standard traffic; they are not evidence of an audience. Open to change your choice or exclude your own testing browser. Withdrawing permission removes this site's Google Analytics cookies and reloads the page to stop the tag. It does not delete data already received by Google. See Google’s privacy policy and Google Analytics data safeguards.
Cloudflare’s separate Web Analytics beacon measures visits and page performance. Hosting and Cloudflare reports are different from GA4 sessions. GetMacros does not send diary entries, notes or calculator inputs to that beacon. See Cloudflare Web Analytics and Cloudflare’s privacy policy. No advertising provider is enabled by this analytics integration.
Advertising
GetMacros has applied to Google AdSense. Publisher ownership verification remains on the site, but advertising scripts are currently paused. No Google ad requests are made by the site code. Before enabling ads, we will configure the required consent controls, verify their behavior and update this notice.
If advertising is enabled later, Google and its partners may use cookies or similar technologies. See how Google uses information from sites that use its services and Google’s advertising controls.
Children's privacy
This site is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect any information from them.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the update will be reflected on this page with a new "last updated" date above.
Product events and future advertising
No analytics or advertising provider is connected to the new product-event and placement code. Product events currently stay in the browser: they contain only an action name and a version number. They contain no calculator answers, search terms, meal identifiers, account identifiers or health profiles.
Advertising remains disabled. An authorized provider adapter and affirmative consent are required before a placement can load. A future provider may introduce separate data processing; its configuration, consent requirements and this notice must be reviewed before activation. The disabled placement code does not send requests to an ad provider.
Private order notes and exports
The order notebook stores saved portions, source-check dates and optional notes in this browser’s local storage. Notes are not sent to an account, analytics or an advertising platform. You can delete entries or the whole notebook. Clearing site data can erase them. Export is a download you request; it includes private notes, so choose deliberately before sharing it.
Food diary, recipes and offline app
The food diary stores dated entries, source-value snapshots, recipes, optional daily goals and private notes in this browser’s IndexedDB. There is no cloud account or cross-device sync. Use the diary’s export, import and deletion controls; clearing browser site data can remove the local diary. Existing saved restaurant orders remain separate until you deliberately log them.
Offline caching stores public application files and food profiles. It does not store diary entries, photos, recordings or notes in the shared resource cache. Export files include your notes and any daily goals you set, and should only be shared deliberately.
Photo, text and voice features
Photo, voice and AI analysis are unavailable. The public diary does not offer recording or AI draft controls. Manual food search and logging do not require an AI provider.
The prepared service requires a separate enabled configuration and explicit submission consent. If activated, a submitted description, selected photo or recording would be sent to the configured provider to produce a draft. Provider retention settings and this notice must be reviewed before activation; GetMacros does not claim zero provider retention. Drafts require source and portion review before logging. Private notes and existing diary history are not included in analysis requests.
Food diary inputs, daily goals, descriptions, photos and notes are not included in product-event or advertising data. Public food source requests and shared order/filter links may still appear in ordinary hosting logs.
