Privacy Policy

Short version: your recipes never leave your browser, there are no accounts, and the only third party involved is the advertising provider that pays for the site.

Recipes and lists you save

Everything you save stays on your own device. Your recipe box, weekly plan, shopping list, and recipe notes are stored in your browser's local storage, which is a small amount of space a site can use on your own computer or phone.

This data is never sent to a server, so it isn't backed up, isn't readable by anyone else, and isn't readable by the person who runs this site. Two consequences worth understanding:

Importing a recipe from a link

When you paste a recipe URL, that URL is sent to a service run for this site, which fetches the page, reads the recipe data out of it, and sends back just the ingredients and steps. This exists because browsers can't fetch pages from other websites directly.

The URL you submitted is processed to fulfill that request. Fetched pages may be cached briefly to avoid requesting the same page repeatedly. The recipe that comes back is stored only in your browser, as described above.

Advertising

This site is funded by advertising through Google AdSense. Google and its partners use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads and measure their performance. Depending on your settings and location, ads may be personalized based on data Google has collected about you across the web, or non-personalized.

Google's own explanation of what it collects when you use sites in its advertising network is here: How Google uses information from sites that use its services.

You can control ad personalization at My Ad Center, independently of this site.

Consent in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland

Visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland are shown a consent message before personalized advertising cookies are set, and can consent, decline, or manage individual choices. Declining means you'll see non-personalized ads rather than no ads, since advertising is what funds the site.

Analytics

There is no separate analytics service on this site. No visitor tracking beyond what the advertising provider described above performs, and no profile of you is built by this site itself.

What is never collected

Hosting

The site is hosted on Cloudflare. Like essentially all web hosts, Cloudflare processes technical request data such as IP addresses in order to deliver pages and protect against abuse. That processing is described in Cloudflare's privacy policy.

Children

This site isn't directed at children under 13, and no personal information is knowingly collected from them.

Your choices

Changes to this policy

If the site starts collecting something it doesn't collect today, such as adding optional accounts for syncing between devices, this page will be updated before that goes live and the date below will change.

This policy describes how the site actually works, written in plain language rather than legal boilerplate. It isn't legal advice, and it hasn't been reviewed by a lawyer. If you operate this site in a jurisdiction with specific disclosure requirements, or you add features that collect personal data, have a professional review it.
