Our Commitment as a Data Controller

As the folks steering Essence Recipes, we’re the “Data Controllers” of your info. Here’s how we roll:

  • We only collect what you’re okay with, or what we need to keep things running for you.
  • We use it for legit reasons (like sharing recipes or showing ads) without stepping on your toes.
  • We stick to the law, every step of the way.
  • We hold onto your data just long enough to do the job, then let it go when it’s done.

Your Rights under GDPR

If you’re in the European Economic Area (EEA), you’ve got some solid rights:

  • See, update, or delete your personal info.
  • Fix anything we got wrong.
  • Say “no thanks” to certain uses of your data.
  • Limit what we do with it.
  • Move your info to another service.
  • Change your mind and pull consent anytime.

Data Collection, Log Files, Cookies, and Ads

We gather a bit when you visit:

  • What:
    • Personal stuff like your name or email (e.g., newsletter sign-ups, comments).
    • Tech details like IP addresses, browser type, and how you move around the site.
    • General stats, like how many folks loved our risotto post.
  • How:
    • You share it, forms, messages, that kind of thing.
    • Logs track basics automatically (timestamps, clicks, referrals).
    • Cookies and web beacons pitch in. They remember your faves and help us (and our ad pals) personalize your experience.

We use this to keep the site tasty, send updates, and show ads via Google AdSense. Those ads might track your interests with cookies (like Google’s DART cookies). Not into it? Tweak your browser settings or visit Google’s Ads Settings to opt out. Check Google’s privacy policy for more.

Third-Party Advertising

We team up with Google for ads. They use cookies and web beacons to serve stuff you might actually like, based on your browsing. We don’t control their end, so peek at their privacy policy for the full scoop. Want to dodge personalized ads? Hit that Google Ads Settings link or the NAI opt-out page.

Children’s Privacy

Kids’ safety matters to us. We don’t collect info from anyone under 13 on purpose. If a little chef slips us their data, let us know at [email protected], and we’ll scrub it fast.

Scope of This Policy

This covers what we collect online at essencerecipes.com. Offline chats or other sites we link to? That’s outside our kitchen, different rules apply there.

By hanging out on our site, you’re agreeing to this policy. For our EEA friends, we’ll ask for clear consent (like a cookie pop-up) where it counts.
