Privacy Policy

Last Updated: November 21, 2025

Welcome to my corner of the internet! This Privacy Policy explains how information is collected, used, and protected when you visit my website. I’m committed to keeping your data safe and being transparent about how everything works behind the scenes.

Information I Collect

When you visit the site, a few types of information may be gathered automatically or when you choose to share it:

1. Information You Provide

  • If you sign up for emails or leave a comment, I may receive your name, email address, or anything else you choose to share.

2. Automatically Collected Information

Like most websites, certain details are collected automatically, such as:

  • IP address
  • Browser type
  • Pages you visit
  • Time spent on the site
  • General location (city/state level, not your address)
    This helps me understand what content you enjoy and how to improve the site.

3. Cookies

Cookies are small files stored on your device to help the site run smoothly (like remembering preferences).
You can turn cookies off in your browser if you prefer — the site will still work.

How Your Information Is Used

I use this information to:

  • Improve website performance and reader experience
  • Understand which recipes and stories resonate most
  • Send email updates if you’ve chosen to receive them
  • Keep the site running safely and efficiently

Your information is never sold.

Advertising & Affiliates

Affiliate Disclosure

I’m an Amazon Associates participant (currently provisional) and an Uncommon Goods affiliate.
This means I may earn a small commission — at no cost to you — if you click a link and make a purchase. These partnerships help support the recipes and stories I share.

Ads Through Mediavine Journey

This site uses Mediavine Journey, an advertising service that may collect data through cookies or similar technologies to personalize or optimize ads you see.

Third-Party Services

Some tools I use (like Google Analytics, email services, or ad partners) may collect or process data to help me understand traffic or keep the site running.

All third-party partners are required to protect your information in line with their own privacy policies.

Your Choices

You can:

  • Disable cookies in your browser
  • Unsubscribe from emails at any time
  • Use ad preferences to customize what ads you see

Children’s Privacy

This site is not directed toward children under 13, and I do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone in that age group.

Changes to This Policy

As the site grows and evolves, this Privacy Policy may be updated. The “Last Updated” date at the top reflects the most recent version.
