Your privacy matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect from you, how we use it and your rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We are committed to being transparent about our data practices.
Information We Collect
- Information you provide: When you subscribe to our newsletter, leave a comment or contact us, we may ask for your name and email address. We will never request sensitive information such as your political beliefs, health status or other protected categories.
- Automatically collected data: Like most websites, we use cookies and similar technologies to collect information about your device, browser and browsing actions. This helps us understand how visitors use our site and improve your experience.
How We Use Your Information
We use the data we collect for the following purposes:
- To operate and maintain the website.
- To communicate with you. For example, sending newsletters you have requested or responding to comments and enquiries.
- To improve our content and user experience. Aggregated analytics help us understand which recipes are most popular and where we can make improvements.
- For advertising and affiliate partnerships. If we display advertisements (e.g., through Google AdSense) or include affiliate links, those partners may use cookies to collect data for ad targeting. We do not share personally identifiable information with third parties without your consent.
We will not sell, rent or disclose your personal information to unaffiliated third parties. We may share data with trusted service providers (such as email marketing platforms or analytics providers) who assist us in running the site. These providers are obliged to keep your information confidential.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use cookies to remember your preferences, collect anonymised analytics data and serve relevant advertisements if we use advertising partners. When you first visit our site, you will see a cookie banner requesting your consent. You can manage your cookie preferences at any time via the banner or by adjusting your browser settings.
Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this policy. For example, if you unsubscribe from our newsletter, we will remove your email from our mailing list. Some analytics data may be retained in aggregate form.
