Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how PandaExpressCalorie.com (“we”, “us”) and our partners use cookies and similar technologies when you visit the Site. Read it together with our Privacy Policy.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files a website places on your device. They let a site, or a service embedded in it, recognise your browser on a later visit. “Similar technologies” include local storage, pixels and device identifiers, which work in much the same way. Cookies set by the website you are visiting are first-party cookies. Cookies set by another company, such as an ad network, are third-party cookies.
2. Why we use them
The Site's tools (the calorie calculator, the allergen table and the store locator) do not need cookies to work. Cookies on the Site are used for two things:
Advertising
Google AdSense uses cookies to show ads, stop the same ad appearing too often, detect fraud and measure results. Where you allow it, ads may also be personalised to your interests.
Analytics
Google Analytics uses cookies to count visits and show us which pages are useful, so we know what to improve and what is broken.
3. Cookies used on the Site
Google may change the exact names and lifetimes of its cookies. The table shows the ones you are most likely to see.

The Google Map shown in the store locator may set Google cookies when you open it.
4. Consent
If you visit from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, a consent message from Google asks for your choice before non-essential cookies are used. You can change your choice at any time from the privacy link in that message or by clearing cookies for this Site. In other regions, cookies may be set when the page loads, and you can use the controls below to opt out.
5. How to control and delete cookies
- Browser settings: every major browser lets you block or delete cookies. See the help pages for Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge.
- Personalised ads: turn them off in Google Ads Settings, or opt out of many ad networks at once at aboutads.info/choices or youronlinechoices.eu.
- Analytics: install the Google Analytics opt-out add-on.
Blocking cookies will not stop the calculator or the allergen table from working. You may still see ads, but they will be less relevant.
6. Changes to this policy
If we add or remove a service that uses cookies, we will update this page and the date at the top.
