Privacy Policy

What Information We Collect

When you visit RecipesMade.com, we automatically collect some basic information about your visit — things like which pages you looked at, how long you spent on the site, what type of device and browser you used, and the general location your visit came from. This information is collected through analytics tools and helps us understand what content is most useful to our readers.

If you choose to subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your name and email address. If you leave a comment on the site, we collect your name, email, and the content of your comment. We do not collect this information unless you actively provide it to us.

How We Use Your Information

The usage data we collect automatically is used to improve the site, fix technical issues, and understand which types of content our readers find most valuable. It is never used to identify you personally.

If you signed up for our newsletter, we use your email address to send you new recipes and updates. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link at the bottom of any email we send. If you left a comment, your name and comment are displayed on the site as part of the conversation under that post.

Cookies

Like most websites, RecipesMade.com uses cookies. Some cookies are essential and are placed automatically to make the site work properly. Others, such as analytics cookies and advertising cookies, are only placed after you give your consent through our cookie banner. You can manage or withdraw your cookie preferences at any time through your browser settings.

Advertising

We display ads through Google AdSense to help keep this site free. Google may use cookies to show you ads based on your previous activity online. If you prefer not to receive personalized ads, you can opt out through Google's Ad Settings. The ads you see do not affect the content or opinions on this site in any way.

Affiliate Links

Some links on RecipesMade.com are affiliate links. If you click one of those links and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. We only link to products we genuinely recommend and our content is never written with affiliate income in mind. We always make it clear when a link is an affiliate link.

Third-Party Services

We use a small number of third-party services to help run this site, including Google Analytics for understanding traffic, Google AdSense for advertising, Pinterest for social sharing, and an email platform for our newsletter. Each of these services has its own privacy policy that governs how they handle data. We encourage you to read those policies if you have concerns about how any of these platforms operate.

Sharing Your Data

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to anyone. We may share data with the third-party service providers mentioned above, but only to the extent needed to operate this site. We will also share information if we are required to do so by law.

How Long We Keep Your Data

We keep newsletter subscriber data for as long as you remain subscribed. Comment data stays on the site as long as the post is published. If you want your data removed at any time, just send us a message and we will take care of it.

Children

RecipesMade.com is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted personal data through this site, please contact us and we will delete it right away.

Links to Other Sites

This site may link to external websites from time to time. Once you leave RecipesMade.com, this privacy policy no longer applies. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites and we encourage you to review their policies before sharing any personal information with them.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. When we do, the updated version will be posted here with a new date at the top. We recommend checking this page occasionally to stay up to date. Continued use of the site after any update means you accept the revised policy.
