What We Collect
HearthlyRecipes collects minimal data. When you use our site, our hosting infrastructure logs standard access data: your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and time of visit. This data is used only for performance monitoring and security purposes.
We do not require account creation to use any recipe on this site. We do not store passwords, payment information, or personal profiles.
Cookies
We use cookies only for essential site functionality (such as saving your preferences for servings or saved recipes in your browser's local storage). We do not use advertising tracking cookies. Third-party services such as Google Fonts may set their own cookies subject to Google's privacy policy.
Analytics
We use privacy-respecting analytics to understand which recipes are most useful to our readers. This data is aggregated and cannot be used to identify individual users.
Advertising
HearthlyRecipes may display advertisements through Google AdSense or similar networks. These networks may use cookies to serve relevant ads based on your browsing history. You can opt out of personalized advertising at google.com/settings/ads.
Third-Party Links
Recipes may contain links to external sites (ingredient suppliers, kitchen tools). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites.
Data Retention
Access logs are retained for up to 30 days for security purposes, then deleted. We do not sell or share your data with third parties except as required by law.
Your Rights
If you are in the EU/EEA, you have the right to access, correct, or delete any personal data we hold about you. Contact us at privacy@hearthlyrecipes.com with any requests.
