Privacy policy

What the site stores on your device

The site uses your browser's local storage, not cookies, to remember two things:

• Recipes you save, so they appear on your Saved page.
• Your light or dark theme choice, and your preferred measurement system.

This information stays in your browser. It is never sent to us, and clearing your browser's site data removes it.

Advertising and cookies

We show ads through Google AdSense. Google and its advertising partners, as third-party vendors, use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads on this site, including ads based on your previous visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies lets it and its partners show you ads based on those visits.

• You can turn off personalised advertising in Google's My Ad Center.
• You can opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising at aboutads.info.
• Google explains how it uses information from sites that use its services at How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

If you visit from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, you are asked for your consent before advertising cookies are used, and you can change your choice at any time from the privacy link in that message.

Email signups

If you request our Free Kitchen Starter Bundle, we collect your email address and, if you give it, your first name. We use them to send you the bundle and, only if you tick the box to ask for them, our recipe and cooking-tip emails. We also record when and from which IP address you signed up, as a record of your request. This information is stored by our email provider, MailerLite (MailerLite Limited, Ireland), which processes it on our behalf under its own privacy policy. We never sell your email address.

Every email we send has an unsubscribe link, which takes effect immediately. To have your details deleted, unsubscribe and contact us. To limit spam signups, our server keeps a scrambled (hashed) record of the IP addresses that submitted the form in the last hour; older records are deleted.

What we collect

The site has no accounts, comments or analytics. Apart from the optional email signup described above, we do not ourselves collect personal information. Advertising data is collected by Google as described above. Our hosting provider may keep standard server logs, such as IP addresses and the pages requested, for security and reliability. Our website is hosted by Bluehost, which keeps these logs under its own privacy policy.

Changes

If we add analytics or other ways of collecting information, we will update this policy first and, where the law requires it, ask for your consent before setting non-essential cookies.
