Welcome to cookingbymum (the “Site”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect the personal and non‑personal information that you provide when you visit https://cookingbymum.com (the “Website”). By accessing or using the Website, you consent to the practices described in this policy. If you have any questions about this policy, please contact us at contact@cookingbymum.com.
We collect two main categories of information: personal data and non‑personal data. Personal data includes any information that can directly or indirectly identify you, such as your name, email address, and any other details you voluntarily provide when you sign up for our newsletter, comment on a recipe, or submit a contact form. Non‑personal data includes information that does not identify you personally, such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, device type, and browsing behavior on the Site.
The purposes for which we collect this information are:
Our Website uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience. A cookie is a small text file stored on your device when you visit a website. Cookies help us:
Types of cookies we use include:
You can manage your cookie preferences at any time through the cookie consent banner that appears when you first visit the Site. Most browsers also allow you to block or delete cookies via the browser settings.
We use Google Analytics to measure and analyze how visitors use our Website. Google Analytics collects information such as your IP address (anonymized in most reports), device type, browser, operating system, pages visited, and time spent on each page. This data helps us understand which recipes are most popular, identify technical issues, and improve overall user experience.
Google may also use the data to provide its own analytics services to us. The information is processed in accordance with Google’s privacy policy, which you can review at https://policies.google.com/privacy. If you wish to opt out of Google Analytics tracking, you may install the Google Analytics Opt‑Out Browser Add‑on or adjust your browser settings to block the relevant cookies.
Visitors can voluntarily subscribe to our newsletter to receive new recipes, cooking tips, and promotional offers. When you sign up, we collect your email address and, optionally, your first and last name. This information is stored securely and used solely for the purpose of sending the requested communications.
You may unsubscribe at any time by clicking the “Unsubscribe” link located at the bottom of each email. Unsubscribing will remove your email address from our mailing list within a reasonable period, typically no more than 10 business days. We do not sell or share your email address with third parties for marketing purposes.
Our Site integrates with social platforms to enhance sharing and community engagement. When you click a “Pin it”, “Share on Instagram”, or “Like” button, the respective platform may set its own cookies and collect data such as your IP address, user agent, and the URL of the page you are sharing. These platforms use the data according to their own privacy policies:
We do not have direct access to the personal data collected by these platforms, and we encourage you to review each service’s privacy policy for details on how they handle your information.

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. For example, newsletter subscription data is kept until you unsubscribe, and analytics data is stored in an aggregated, anonymized form for up to 26 months in Google Analytics.
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include encryption of data in transit (HTTPS), secure storage practices, and regular security reviews. While we strive to protect your data, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100 % secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have certain rights regarding your personal data, including the right to:

These transfers are performed in accordance with applicable data‑protection regulations, and appropriate safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses) are in place to protect your information.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or technology. When we make significant changes, we will post a notice at the top of this page and update the “Last Updated” date. Continued use of the Site after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
