Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how SelfMadeCook ("we," "us") handles information when you visit selfmadecook.com (the "Site"). The Site is a simple recipe site — we do not ask you to create an account, and we do not collect your name, email, or payment details directly through these pages.

Information collected automatically

As with most websites, our hosting provider and the third-party services described below may automatically receive standard technical data when you visit — such as your IP address, browser and device type, referring page, and the pages you view. This is used to operate and secure the Site and, for advertising, to show relevant ads.

Analytics

We may use Google Analytics to understand, in aggregate, how visitors use the Site — which recipes are popular, general location, and device type. This is not used to personally identify you. You can opt out site-wide with the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Cookies and advertising

We use Google AdSense, a third-party advertising service, to display ads on the Site. Google and its partners use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.

• Google's advertising cookies enable it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to the Site and/or other sites on the internet.
• You can opt out of personalized advertising in Google Ads Settings, and opt out of many third-party vendors at aboutads.info/choices or, in the EU, youronlinechoices.eu.
• More on how Google uses data from sites that use its services: policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

Your privacy choices

If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or California, you have rights over your personal data — including to access or delete it, object to certain processing, and opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information for targeted advertising. Visitors from these regions are shown a consent prompt governing advertising cookies, and you can change your choices at any time using the links above.

Recipes, links, and the cookbook

Some pages link to our free and paid recipe books hosted on Gumroad. If you choose to download or buy, Gumroad collects and processes that information under its own privacy policy — we never see your payment details.

Children

The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time; the "last updated" date above will reflect any changes.
