Last Updated: June 2026
1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how Real food. Nothing to HIDE, operated by Lean Kitchen Network ("we", "our", or "us"), uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website.
In line with our brand promise of having Nothing to HIDE, we believe in being entirely transparent about how we collect and process data relating to you.
2. What are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files containing small amounts of information which are downloaded to your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are then sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognises that cookie.
Cookies do lots of different jobs, like letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, and generally improving your browsing experience. They can also help to ensure that advertisements you see online are more relevant to you and your interests.
3. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies to monitor how our website is performing, to secure our platform, and to help us understand how visitors interact with our content.
Under UK law (PECR), we categorise the cookies we use into three main groups:
A. Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the core operation of our website. They enable basic functions like page navigation, website security, and load balancing. The website cannot function properly without these cookies. Because they are essential, UK law does not require your prior consent to drop these cookies, but we still declare them here for full transparency.
- Provider: Shopify (our website host)
- Purpose: To deliver the website securely and efficiently to your browser.
B. Performance and Analytical Cookies
These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. We will only use these cookies if you give us your explicit consent.
- Providers: Google Analytics, HubSpot
- Purpose: To analyse visitor numbers, identify popular content, and track the success of our Insiders Club signup form.
C. Targeting and Advertising Cookies
These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites (such as social media platforms). They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. We will only use these cookies if you give us your explicit consent.
- Provider: Meta (Facebook) Pixel
- Purpose: To measure the effectiveness of our social media campaigns and deliver relevant updates to you on Meta platforms.
