We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information such as how often users visit the site and which pages they view. You can learn how Google uses this data at How Google uses information from sites that use its services, and opt out with the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Advertising and Google AdSense
We use, or may use, Google AdSense and other third-party advertising partners to display ads on this website.
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.
- Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.

Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use them for site functionality, analytics, and advertising. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. For full details, see our Cookie Policy.
Third-Party Services
We rely on trusted service providers to run the site, including our web host (Hostinger), Google Analytics, Google AdSense, email/newsletter tools, and spam protection. These providers process data on our behalf and have their own privacy policies. Some recipe pages may also embed content (such as videos) from other websites, which behave as if you visited those sites directly.
Data Retention
Contact messages are kept only as long as needed to respond and for our records. Newsletter data is kept until you unsubscribe. Comments and their metadata are kept indefinitely so follow-up comments can be approved automatically.
Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR in Europe or the CCPA/CPRA in California), you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of your personal data, to object to or restrict processing, and to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information for targeted advertising. We do not sell your personal information. To exercise any of these rights, email us at support@recipewithchef.com.
Children’s Privacy
This website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, contact us and we will delete it.
Security
We use reasonable technical measures, including HTTPS encryption, to protect your information. No method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, but we work to protect your data.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes are posted on this page with a new “Last updated” date.
