Privacy policy

Information we collect

Visitors don't need an account and we don't ask for personal information such as your name or email address. Like most websites, our hosting provider may record technical data in server logs, such as IP address, browser type, pages visited and time of visit, for security and to keep the site running.

If you rate or comment on a recipe, we store the name and email address you enter, along with your approximate location (city, region and country) worked out from your IP address by our hosting provider. Only the site administrator sees your email and location; we keep a one-way hash of your IP address, never the address itself, to stop spam.

Only the site administrator signs in, to manage recipes. Their sign-in is handled by Supabase Auth.

We use Microsoft Clarity, a free analytics tool, to see where visitors click and scroll and to watch anonymised recordings of visits, so we can fix confusing pages. Clarity sets cookies and sends this usage data to Microsoft, which processes it for us. Text you type into forms is masked. If you are in the EEA, the UK or Switzerland, Clarity only runs after you accept our cookie message; you can read more in the Microsoft Privacy Statement.

The site stores your measurement units choice (metric or US) in your browser (localStorage). It never leaves your device.

Cookies and advertising

We also set one small first-party cookie (ting_interests, kept for 90 days) that remembers which recipes, categories and searches you looked at, so the “More recipes” suggestions match your interests. It stays in your browser, is sent to no one else, and you can delete it any time in your browser settings. If you are in the EEA, the UK or Switzerland, we only set it after you accept (your choice is saved in a second cookie, ting_consent, for one year).

We use Google AdSense to show ads. Google and its partners, as third-party vendors, use cookies and similar technologies, including the advertising ID, to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites.

Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our site and other sites on the internet. You can opt out of personalized advertising at Google Ads Settings, or visit aboutads.info to opt out of third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising.

Learn how Google uses data from sites that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

Where required by law, such as visitors in the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland, Google shows a consent message the first time you visit, and ads that use cookies or personal data are only shown according to your choice. You can change or withdraw it at any time with the “Privacy and cookie settings” link in the footer of every page. Our own cookie choice above is asked separately, right after Google's message.

You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Some features of the site and some ads may not work as expected if you do.
