1) Information We Collect

a) Information you provide directly

  • Contact details (e.g., name, email) if you send us a message, subscribe to a newsletter, or submit a form.
  • Any content you submit (e.g., comments, feedback, recipe suggestions).

b) Information collected automatically

  • Device and usage data (IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring/exit pages, timestamps).
  • Interaction data (pages viewed, links clicked, time on page, scroll depth).
  • Approximate location (derived from IP address).
  • Cookies, web beacons, pixels, local storage, and similar technologies (see “Cookies & Tracking” below).

c) Information from partners

  • Limited information from advertising, analytics, or email/marketing tools (e.g., aggregate audience segments, campaign performance).

2) How We Use Information

  • Operate, maintain, and improve the Site and content.
  • Personalize content and measure performance.
  • Show, measure, and optimize advertising (including interest-based ads).
  • Communicate with you (e.g., respond to messages or send newsletters, if you opted in).
  • Detect, prevent, and address technical or security issues.
  • Comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms.

3) Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Cookies and similar technologies help the Site function and allow partners to deliver and measure ads. You can adjust your browser settings to block or clear cookies (site functionality may be affected). If available on the Site, you can also manage preferences via a “Cookie Settings” or “Privacy Choices” link.

4) Advertising Partners

We use third-party ad/monetization services, including:

  • Google AdSense: May use cookies and identifiers to serve personalized or non-personalized ads and to measure performance. Users can manage Google ad personalization in their Google account Ads Settings.
  • Mediavine (Grow by Mediavine): May use cookies/pixels for features like email capture and social tools, and to support programmatic advertising/optimization where Mediavine ad products are used.
  • Ezoic: Provides site optimization, consent management, and ad mediation/serving that may use cookies and similar technologies to improve site speed, user experience, and ad performance.

These partners may collect or receive information from this Site and other sites to provide interest-based advertising and measurement. Each partner maintains its own privacy practices. Please consult their privacy documentation for details on data processing, opt-out mechanisms, and retention practices.

5) Analytics

We may use analytics tools to understand site usage and improve content and performance. These tools typically collect cookie or device information and usage statistics. Where possible, we enable IP anonymization or similar privacy controls.

6) Legal Bases for Processing (EEA/UK Visitors)

  • Consent (e.g., for non-essential cookies, interest-based ads, email marketing).
  • Legitimate interests (e.g., site security, improving content, non-personalized measurement) where not overridden by your rights.
  • Contract (e.g., providing requested services).
  • Legal obligation (e.g., tax, regulatory, compliance).

Where consent is required, we seek it via a consent banner or mechanism, where implemented.

7) “Sale”/“Sharing”/Targeted Advertising (U.S. State Laws)

Some U.S. privacy laws define “sale,” “share,” or “targeted advertising” in ways that may include certain advertising or analytics data disclosures. We may “share” or use data for targeted advertising in this sense. If applicable to your state, you may have the right to opt out of “sale,” “sharing,” or targeted advertising. Use the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” or “Privacy Choices” link if available, or contact us (see Section 14).

8) Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you.
  • Correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
  • Delete your data (subject to legal or legitimate retention).
  • Object to or restrict certain processing.
  • Withdraw consent at any time (does not affect prior processing).
  • Data portability (receive your data in a portable format).
  • Opt out of certain data uses (e.g., targeted advertising).

To exercise any rights, contact us (Section 14). We may verify your identity before responding. You may also have the right to complain to a data protection authority.

9) Data Retention

We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Policy (e.g., site operation, analytics, legal compliance), unless a longer period is required by law.

10) Children’s Privacy

This Site is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13 (or the relevant age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child provided personal data, contact us so we can delete it.

11) International Transfers

Your information may be stored and processed in countries other than your own. Where required, we implement appropriate safeguards (e.g., standard contractual clauses) to protect cross-border transfers.

12) Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal data. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.
