Do public menu visits use cookies?
No. Public menu pages do not set cookies for guests. Astolio records an anonymous scan event for analytics, but this does not rely on persistent cookie-based tracking.

Why is my menu showing as unavailable?
If your subscription is pending, paused, or expired, Astolio shows a suspended state instead of the live public menu. This protects the owner dashboard flow while clearly informing guests that the menu is temporarily unavailable.

Will I get warned before my subscription expires?
Yes. Astolio shows a dashboard warning when your subscription is close to expiry, and the backend can also send renewal reminders when email delivery is configured.

Can I delete my account and data?
