privacy, plainly.

No account, no newsletter popups, no ads. Here is the little this site does collect, in plain words.

analytics

We use Google Analytics, loaded through Google Tag Manager, to see which recipes and articles people read, so we know what to cook next. It records the pages you view, roughly where you are (country and city), your device and browser, and how you found the site. It does not record your name, email or anything you type.

If you are in the European Union, the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, Google Analytics sets no cookies until you press accept on the banner. If you decline or ignore it, Google only receives anonymous pings without cookies, which are used for aggregated and estimated totals. Everywhere else, Google Analytics runs by default and you can opt out with the button on the banner or below. We also respect the Global Privacy Control signal from your browser.

We also count visits with two cookieless tools, Cloudflare Web Analytics and Ahrefs analytics. They only give us page totals and general technical data such as country and browser type. They do not use cookies, and they cannot tell us who you are.

cookies

Google Analytics sets its measurement cookies (names starting with _ga) only when it is allowed to, as described above. They last up to two years, and we keep the reporting data for 14 months. Your choice on the banner is stored in your browser's local storage, so we do not have to ask you on every visit. Those are all the cookies and stored items this site uses.

what we never do

We do not sell your data, we do not run advertising trackers, we have turned off Google's advertising features, and we cannot identify you personally from anything this site collects. Google processes analytics data for us as our service provider, and some of it is handled outside your country.

changed your mind?

You can change or withdraw your cookie choice at any time. Reset it here and the banner will ask you again on the next page you open, where you can accept, decline or opt out.
