About RecipeAsk.com
RecipeAsk.com shares cooking tips, home-style guides, and copycat recipes inspired by well-known restaurants. Readers visit for kitchen ideas, flavor tricks, and fun food inspiration. While doing that, the site collects a small amount of data. Nothing odd. Nothing hidden.
This policy covers how that information works from start to finish.
Information We Collect
The site collects two types of information.
Nothing more. Nothing less.
a. Information You Give Us
You may share information when you:
- Subscribe to newsletters
- Fill out forms
- Leave comments or send messages
- Join giveaways or sign up for updates
The usual things you might share include:
- Name
- Optional details you type in a form
No passwords. No sensitive health data. No secret family recipes unless you want to brag.
b. Information Collected Automatically
When you browse RecipeAsk.com, some data is gathered in the background. Most websites do this. It helps the site run better and load faster.
This includes:
- IP address
- Browser type
- Device type (phone, tablet, laptop)
- Pages visited
- Time spent on pages
- Basic cookie data
This info helps improve the site and understand what readers enjoy. For example, if everyone loves a certain burger copycat recipe, it helps guide future posts.
Cookies and Tracking Tools
Cookies are tiny files that remember small things. They help pages load faster, keep settings in place, and show useful content. Cookie data is limited and doesn’t reveal personal details like your identity, bank info, or address.
RecipeAsk.com uses:
- Essential cookies (site basics)
- Performance cookies (what pages readers like)
- Analytics cookies (Google Analytics, Search Console, and similar tools)
- Advertising cookies (Google AdSense or similar platforms if active)
You can clear cookies anytime through your browser settings. There’s also a “Private Mode” or “Incognito Mode” if you prefer to browse without leaving cookie traces.
Google Tools and Third-Party Services
RecipeAsk.com works with several tools that help keep the site organized and user-friendly.
a. Google Analytics
Google Analytics tracks site traffic, page speed, reader activity, and general usage patterns. It’s data about how the site is used, not who you are.
Google stores and processes this info using its own systems. To see how Google handles this data, check the Google Privacy Policy on their site.
b. Google AdSense
If ads appear on RecipeAsk.com, Google may use cookies to show ads related to your interests. These may be based on browsing behavior across many websites.
You can control Google ad settings at Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of personalized ads.
c. Email and Newsletter Tools
If you join the mailing list, your email will be stored by the email provider used for newsletters. This provider follows its own privacy rules and handles email delivery.
You can unsubscribe anytime with a single click.
d. Embedded Content
Some posts may include videos, maps, or content from other sites. Embedded content can behave like you visited those sites directly. These third-party sites may use cookies or tracking tools.
RecipeAsk.com cannot control those tools. Be sure to check the privacy rules of those platforms as well.
