CURIOSITY, WITH CONTEXT
Curious food.
Clear choices.

This site has no accounts, on-site payments or newsletter signup. Google analytics is optional and stays off until you allow it. Fonts and displayed images are served with the site.
Personal taste directions
The explained suggestions keep flavor, texture, format, novelty and budget answers only in the open page. Public research data loads only after an explicit request, without sending these answers. The device journal is read only when you choose “Read my device journal”; nothing is selected automatically. You then choose current exact food references rated 4 or 5, review supported tags and ask to use them. Written notes, tasting dates, personal context and goals are not used for ranking or sent to a service. Unselected entries never influence the suggestions.
Suggestions save no preference or copy of the journal. Editing a direction, forgetting feedback or clearing answers invalidates previous results without editing the device journal. A journal change in another tab clears the page’s selected feedback; returning through browser history requires a fresh deliberate read. Source links carry only public food identity and the separate optional country, not your tags, ratings, answers or notes. This page is excluded from usage counting even if it is enabled elsewhere. Historical author opinions are optional and attributed; no crowd profile, allergen suitability or current formulation match is inferred.
Creator videos
Story pages contain text and source links before any third-party player loads. Choosing “Load YouTube player” creates one YouTube privacy-enhanced iframe, without autoplay, and requests English captions. YouTube then receives your IP address and this site’s origin; its own storage, ads and privacy policy apply. No video choice is saved, and no external thumbnail, player API or preconnection loads before your choice. Removing the player or leaving the page removes the iframe; earlier third-party requests cannot be recalled. An external video link opens the provider directly. This choice is separate from optional WeirdEats usage counting.
Promotion browsing
The promotion notes are dated source statements, not automated coupon tests. Type, evidence-state, merchant and stated-country filters appear in the URL/history. Date re-evaluation runs on this device and contacts no merchant. A code is copied only after an explicit button action with current evidence/date/scope checks; denied clipboard access offers manual copying. No code is applied, signup submitted or checkout opened automatically. There is no new account, email field or device store; the separate country preference retains its existing behavior.
Gift research
The gift chooser keeps occasion, budget, payment-type, shelf-stability and timing answers only in this open page. They are excluded from URLs, browser storage and measurement. It requests only its public source packet after you ask; no recipient name, address, email or actual arrival date is collected. The separate delivery-country control keeps its existing optional device behavior. Source/budget links include only exact public identities and country; a copied plan does not include your gift answers. Reload clears the answers.
Optional Google analytics
Our analytics controls save a device-only consent and owner/testing choice under weirdeats.measurement.v1. On eligible public browsing pages, accepting analytics permits Google Tag Manager container GTM-TCG3XR3M to load. Declining, blocked storage, Global Privacy Control, Do Not Track, recognized automation, owner/testing exclusion or a URL fragment keeps it off. No Google analytics request is made before consent.
Google and tags configured in that container may receive your IP address, browser information and public page URLs, including search/filter parameters, and may use analytics cookies. Advertising consent remains denied. See Google’s privacy policy. Our private tools, journal, lists, correction forms and receipt pages do not load the container. The site does not push private notes, dietary answers, correction text or receipt secrets into its data layer. The separate first-party aggregate receiver is disabled.
Withdraw consent in the analytics controls at any time. Other open eligible pages reload to remove their running container; future visits keep it off. Previously sent data cannot be recalled, and existing cookies can be removed using browser site-data controls. Installing the container does not establish that an analytics tag has been configured or published, or that purchases or commissions are measured.
Search and browsing
Search and category filters run in your browser. Their selections appear in the URL and browser history, so a copied URL includes those choices. Shared box comparisons also include the chosen package/plan IDs and calendar window. Analytics cookies may be set after your consent; the ordinary browsing tools use the device storage described below.
Clear the search and category selection to remove them from the current URL. Use your browser’s controls to manage history, cached files and downloaded reports. Request addresses, URL paths and times may appear in ordinary server access logs. Host access logs are separate from the private report queue; the intake service does not log report bodies or receipt secrets.
Tasting-budget assumptions
The budget page calculates locally. Selected food IDs, offer IDs, package quantities and people appear in its URL and can appear in ordinary page-request logs. Typed prices and shipping amounts stay in page memory: they are not added to the URL, saved in browser storage or sent with calculator data requests. Reloading clears those typed assumptions. Changing country clears destination-specific shipping assumptions.
Your delivery country
Choosing a delivery country saves only its two-letter code on this device, under the local-storage key weirdeats.destination.v1. We do not request a street address, postal code, geolocation or IP-based location. Choose Worldwide browsing to delete the saved country. If storage is blocked, the choice still works for this visit through the URL.
A destination in a shared link overrides the saved country for that view without saving it. Choose Remember this choice to save it. The country appears in internal page links, copied URLs and browser history. No destination is added to merchant links.
Optional label preferences
Label preferences apply in your browser and are excluded from shared URLs and analytics. If you choose Remember these choices, only the selected allergen names, statement filters and unknown-evidence choice are saved under weirdeats.labelpreferences.v1. Leaving Remember unchecked removes saved choices and applies the selection to this page visit. Clear preferences deletes it. If storage is blocked, the controls still work for this page. Preferences are not an allergy assessment.
Food comparisons
Adding a food to comparison remembers up to four stable food identities under weirdeats.comparison.v1 on this device when storage is available. On the comparison page, Remember these foods controls whether selection edits update that memory; Forget remembered foods removes it. Opening a different shared comparison leaves existing remembered choices unchanged unless you deliberately remember it.
Comparison links and browser history contain the chosen food identities, optional merchant-offer choices and selected country. Local label preferences are excluded. Merchant-offer choices travel in the link; browser memory keeps the selected food identities. If storage is blocked, the comparison still works through its URL. The site creates no account or server copy.
Named tasting lists on this device
Saving to a list stores its local name, exact food identities and complete-package quantities under weirdeats.lists.v2. No account, email, price snapshot, personal note or label preference is saved in these lists. Other people using this browser profile can read them. Remove selections, clear a list, delete it or choose Clear all device lists to remove the corresponding data. Storage failures are reported; a failed edit is not presented as saved.
The earlier weirdeats.savedfoods.v1 shelf remains readable as Try Next. Reading it does not migrate or erase it. The first explicit save/edit writes and verifies the new lists before removing the earlier shelf. A corrupt or unsupported library stays untouched until you deliberately clear it; recovery data can be downloaded locally.
Share selections creates a deliberate link with only food identities and quantities in its URL fragment. List names and dietary preferences are excluded. Opening a shared list does not save it or replace device lists; Save a copy is explicit. A selections-only file supports longer lists. Export this list instead includes its local name, which is explained at download. Importing a file creates a separate named list after review and never overwrites one.
Reopening a list reads the current recorded catalog version and selected offer packets without saving prices or stock. A changed version, missing selection or failed read is shown explicitly. These are dated source observations, not live merchant checks. Browser privacy controls and exported backup files govern recovery if local storage is cleared or blocked.
Tasting-party plans and cards
The party planner keeps this tab’s exact food/offer choices, complete-package quantities, anonymous participant/taster counts, controlled theme, sample-size assumptions and optional financial assumptions in page memory. It does not save a party library or request guest names, contact details, addresses or individual dietary profiles. Reloading clears the plan unless you deliberately exported/shared it. Copying a subset from a device tasting list reads its identities/quantities locally; the list name and original device lists stay unchanged.
Only selected public package/label/policy packets are requested. Typed sample/price/shipping/target values and private label preferences are not sent with those reads. Label preferences use the existing separate device controls and never enter plan links, files or cards. Changing country clears typed shipping estimates. Costs remain separated by merchant/currency, and tax/duty/final delivered cost stay unknown.
Print cards show selected food/package assumptions and public label/source evidence with generic common/separate labels. They exclude typed prices, shipping/target amounts and private filter results. Unknown statements do not establish absence or allergy suitability. Printing is withheld while current evidence or common-table label choices require review; a generic separate label does not verify handling or cross-contact.
A selections link/file includes exact identities, whole-package counts, anonymous counts, controlled theme and chosen portion assumptions. It excludes manual financial assumptions by default. Including finances is a separate full-file choice: preview its country, coarse region/service and typed price/shipping/target fields before downloading, and keep that file private. No guest names or health-profile fields exist in either schema.
Share links use URL fragments, which can be copied or retained by browser history/sync. Received links/files are previewed before replacing the current tab plan; opening them alone does not apply them, and current recorded evidence is read again after application. The receiver’s own label preferences remain separate. Downloaded/printed/shared copies stay under your control.
Your private pantry
The device pantry stores up to 150 self-reported foods and 20 latest idea-feedback answers under weirdeats.pantry.v1. Exact catalog snapshots or personal food names, optional purchase/opening dates, inventory notes and feedback stay in this browser profile. Other users of the profile can read them. Nothing verifies a purchase, tasting, physical package, expiry or safe keeping period. This page does not read or merge your journal, tasting lists or watches.
Choosing a catalog food or checking serving resources requests a public pantry-context packet and build version without sending pantry contents. Personal names are not matched by ingredient keywords; a changed product/package/label identity withholds the old automatic match. Food and kitchen links expose only the selected public path in ordinary host logs. This private route is excluded from optional usage counting.
Exporting a private pantry includes every saved note and date. Keep the file private. Opening a file is read-only until you explicitly replace the current pantry. Raw recovery, entry removal and clearing affect this pantry only; exported copies remain. A separate feedback-counts download contains aggregate latest-answer counts from this profile, without food IDs/names, notes, purchase/opening dates, resource IDs or individual feedback timestamps. No file or feedback is uploaded automatically, and counts are not unique people, verified use or public ratings.
Your tasting passport and journal
The personal journal saves up to 300 self-reported entries and one next idea under weirdeats.journal.v1 on this browser profile. Entries contain a food/context snapshot or your own food name, optional tasting date, personal enjoyment rating, tags, written notes and device save/edit timestamps. Other users of this profile can read them; they are not encrypted or account-backed. These are your opinions and records, not public ratings, aggregate reviews or verified catalog facts.
Writing, saving, editing and counting progress happen locally. Notes, ratings, tags, tasting dates and goals are never uploaded. Choosing a current catalog snapshot reads the public names/context packet and build version without sending journal data. Editing an earlier entry can retain its original snapshot without a network read, and personal food entries work without catalog data. Food-page links can reveal selected food IDs in host logs. Clear private journal & idea removes its device data; lists, watches, shared links and downloaded files remain separate.
Export private journal deliberately downloads all entries and the next idea, including private notes and dates. Keep that file private. Opening a journal file or received link is a read-only preview; importing selected entries creates new local records and never overwrites existing entries. Adopting an imported goal is separately optional and replaces only the goal after that choice.
Sharing starts with no entries or personal fields selected. The prepared preview includes food names and catalog context for only the selected entries. Ratings, tasting dates, tags/personal context and notes require separate inclusion choices. Goals, unselected entries, record identities and save/edit timestamps never enter the shared payload. A long selection uses a complete selected-entry file instead of truncation.
Share links place the selected payload in a URL fragment, which is not sent in ordinary page requests but can be copied, screenshotted, bookmarked or retained by browser history/sync. Anyone holding the link or file can read the included fields. Opening a received link removes its fragment from that page’s current history entry; it does not recall other copies. No journal data is automatically sent to merchants, the correction queue or an analytics service.
On-visit price and stock watches
The watch page keeps a separate local library under weirdeats.watches.v1: exact food, merchant-offer and package identities, pause state, accepted dates and a dated public-source baseline with its price, currency, stock and purchase terms. It stores no personal notes, list names, contact details or dietary preferences. Anyone using this browser profile can read it. Up to 50 exact offers can be watched. Pause keeps the baseline but stops checks; remove and Clear all device watches delete watch data without changing named tasting lists.
Checks run on visits, explicit rechecks and returning to the visible page, using public catalog packets. They do not contact merchants or set a recurring schedule. Evidence requests include selected offer/capture identities in their paths, which can appear in host access logs; the saved watch library and baselines are not uploaded. Country context remains the existing separate preference, not a field in a watch or share link. There is no email, push or account delivery.
Notices compare newer supported observations to a baseline you explicitly accept. They do not automatically save a newer baseline or prove live availability, destination eligibility or food suitability. Failed reads, source holds, stale facts and corrected/removed baseline readings do not produce a price/restock alert. A recovery download is deliberately created on your device; keep it private. Clearing browser storage removes watches, but downloaded copies remain under your control.
Questions and corrections
Opening the private form reads public catalog identities and a short-lived submission check. Pressing Send for private review uploads only the fields you explicitly enter, exact catalog identities, source links, declared role and consent. We do not attach device lists, delivery country or label preferences. Merchant roles and all submitted claims remain unverified until reviewed. No email address or account is collected. Reports, operator decisions and internal notes stay in a private queue; they never automatically publish facts or change rankings.
A random private receipt lets you request only the review status, dates and a separately written reader follow-up note. It does not return the report body, source URLs or private operator notes. Status checks send the receipt in a POST body, without URL query parameters. Deliberately copied status links place the secret in a URL fragment; anyone holding that link can check its status. Opening a link fills the receipt fields and removes its fragment from the current history entry. Keep downloaded receipts private; there is no email recovery. The form does not save reports or secrets in browser storage.
For spam control, the service keeps daily keyed hashes of request addresses and hourly request counts, not raw addresses. Rate counters expire after about a day. The active queue deletes reports and their review history 90 days after submission, on subsequent requests or operator cleanup. Private recovery copies can retain older data until the operator retires them. The service never automatically retrieves submitted URLs. Ordinary host access logs can still contain request addresses, API paths and times, but not URL fragments.
The separate local draft tool only prepares text in your browser: it does not upload or save a draft. Copying and downloading are explicit. If you share a draft in your review conversation, that service’s privacy rules apply.
Merchant websites
Opening a merchant or other source link takes you to that website, which has its own privacy and shopping policies. Current merchant links are direct links. Our disclosure page explains future approved affiliate links.
