This site measures which of its pages lead people to try Platevio. That is the whole of it — there is no account here, no form, no newsletter and nothing to sell. This page says exactly what that measurement stores, who else sees it, and how to stop it.

What this notice covers
This notice is about www.platevio.com, the site you are reading. The Platevio app at app.platevio.com is a different thing: you sign in to it, it holds a restaurant’s menu and orders, and it has its own terms and its own notice. Nothing on this page describes what happens after you create an account there.
What this site collects
Google Analytics, and nothing else. It records that a page was opened, which page it was, roughly where in the world the browser was, and what kind of device and browser it is — a phone in Monterrey on Chrome, not a person with a name. It also records a click on any link from here through to signup, which is the one measurement this site exists for: it tells us which pages are worth writing more of. There is no form on this site, so there is nothing you can type into it for us to keep.
The cookies, and what they are for
Where Google Analytics is allowed to store anything, it sets two cookies of its own, named _ga and _ga_QMX8VZK9S9. They hold a random number that lets it tell one browser from another, so two page views a minute apart are counted as one visit rather than two people. They expire after two years, they are readable only by this site, and they carry no name, no email address and nothing you have typed anywhere.
In Europe, nothing is stored at all
If your browser reports that you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland or Gibraltar, this site tells Google Analytics up front that it may not store anything on your device. No cookie is set, nothing is read back, and what reaches Google is a count with no identifier attached to it — which means our European figures are estimates rather than counts, and we would rather have that than take a cookie nobody offered. Your browser’s address still reaches Google with each count — that is how the rough location is worked out — and it is not kept either; what we refuse is the part that would sit on your device and let you be recognised on the next visit. We have not put a consent banner on this site, because we have nothing to ask you for that we are not already refusing on your behalf.
Who else sees it
Google, as the company that runs Analytics and processes this data for us. Their own handling of it is governed by their terms, and it may be processed outside the country you are reading from. We also use Google Search Console, which reports which searches led people here — that comes from Google’s own records of its search results and involves nothing stored on your device by us. Nobody else receives any of it: it is not sold, not shared with advertisers, and not passed to any other company.
What this site does not do
It runs no advertising and belongs to no ad network, so no advertising signal is ever permitted for any visitor anywhere. It builds no profile of you, does not attempt to recognise you across other websites, and does not link what it counts to any person. It runs no chat widget, no social pixel and no session recorder, and the whole page fetches nothing from anyone but Google Analytics — which is checked by an automated test on every deployment rather than left to good intentions.
How long it is kept, and how to switch it off
Event data is deleted by Google after fourteen months. To stop the measurement now, block cookies for this site in your browser settings, or install Google’s official opt-out extension, which turns Analytics off across every site you visit. Clearing your cookies removes the identifier and starts you over as a new browser. None of this changes anything you can read here: the site works identically with the measurement off, because it is a stack of documents.
Changes, and how to reach us
When this notice changes, the date above changes with it. If you want to know what we hold about a visit, or you want it removed, write to support@platevio.com — bear in mind that with no name or address attached to any of it, the honest answer to "what do you have about me" is usually nothing we could find. We answer either way.
