This Privacy Policy explains what personal information may be collected when you use RecipesCooker, what it is used for, and the choices available to you. It applies to recipescooker.com and should be read together with our Cookie Policy.
Last updated: October 29, 2026. RecipesCooker is the website operating under this name; privacy questions can be sent through our contact form.
Information you provide
- Contact form: When you send a message, you provide your name, email address, subject, and message. We use these details to review and respond to your enquiry.
- Recipe comments: If you leave a comment, WordPress processes the details you enter, such as your name, email, optional website, and comment. Relevant technical information such as IP address and browser user-agent may be processed for spam prevention and security. Approved comments and the public name you supply may appear on the recipe page.
- Site administration: Authorized users signing in to WordPress use account information and login cookies required for administration. Ordinary visitors do not need a RecipesCooker account to browse recipes.
Information generated when using the site
Like most websites, our server or hosting providers may process technical request information such as IP address, browser type, requested pages, referral information, and timestamps for security, troubleshooting, and service operation. The exact log retention settings depend on the hosting configuration.
The Saved Recipes function stores selected recipe information in your own browser’s local storage. This list is intended to remain on your device, rather than being stored as a RecipesCooker member profile. Clearing browser data may remove the saved list.
Why we use information
- To operate, maintain, and secure the website; display requested pages and handle technical problems.
- To review enquiries and reply when appropriate.
- To display and moderate reader comments and reduce spam or abuse.
- To understand site performance when analytics services are enabled.
- To deliver advertising and measure its performance if advertising services are enabled, subject to applicable privacy choices and legal requirements.
Advertising partners: Google and HBAgency
If HBAgency advertising is enabled on RecipesCooker, HBAgency and participating advertising vendors may process device and request information and use cookies or similar technologies to select, display, and measure ads, subject to applicable privacy choices. The currently participating vendors and consent options should be checked in the HBAgency publisher dashboard. See our Cookie Policy for browser controls.
If this website displays Google ads, third-party vendors including Google may use cookies and related technologies to serve ads based on a visitor’s prior visits to this website or other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables Google and its partners to serve advertising based on visits to this site and elsewhere on the internet. Where available and lawful, visitors may opt out of personalized advertising through Google My Ad Center, and use YourAdChoices for participating vendors.
Google explains how information may be used on websites using its services at Google partner site privacy information. Any other active advertising or analytics providers may process data under their own privacy policies. This notice should be updated as actual providers and integrations change.
Cookies and local storage
WordPress may use cookies for sign-in and optionally remembering commenter details. The site uses local browser storage for saved recipes. Advertising, analytics, embedded media, or other services may use additional cookies or technologies when enabled. See the Cookie Policy for more detail about these categories and browser controls.
Consent and regional choices
Where required by law, optional cookies or other storage, and certain personal-data uses, require valid consent. If Google advertising is enabled for visitors in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, an appropriate Google-certified consent management platform may be required to collect and communicate advertising choices. A privacy notice alone does not replace a consent mechanism. When a privacy choices interface is available on the website, use it to review or update your preferences.
Who may receive information
Information may be processed by service providers involved in website hosting, email delivery, site security, spam controls, analytics, or advertising when those services are active. They may process data in different countries under their own arrangements and applicable safeguards. We do not describe such service providers as a comprehensive current vendor list, because that list should be verified against the site’s actual configuration.
We may disclose information when legally required or reasonably necessary to protect rights, users, and the website, subject to applicable law.
How long information is kept
Contact messages may be retained as needed to handle enquiries and maintain appropriate records. Comments may remain visible as part of the discussion unless removed or moderated. Server logs, cookies, and provider records follow their respective operational retention settings. We review retention needs and remove information when it is no longer required, subject to lawful obligations and technical limitations.
Your privacy rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, or other controls over personal information. To make a request, use our contact form and describe the relevant comment or message. We may need to verify that a request concerns your information. Rights and exceptions vary by jurisdiction.
You may also manage cookies in your browser and clear the locally saved recipe list. These controls do not necessarily delete information held by third-party advertising providers.
Security and third-party links
We use website and hosting controls intended to reduce unauthorized access, but no online service can guarantee perfect security. Do not send passwords, payment-card details, or highly sensitive data through the contact form or public comments. Links to other websites may lead to services with different privacy policies.
Children
RecipesCooker is a general-audience cooking website and is not designed to collect personal information from children who are below the age at which parental consent is required under applicable law. If you believe a child shared personal information through the site, please contact us so the situation can be reviewed.
Updates and contact
We may revise this notice when the website’s services, advertising configuration, or legal obligations change. The date near the top indicates the latest revision. For privacy questions or requests, please use our contact page.
