This Cookie Policy explains how our website (pinkyscreativerecipes.com) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our site. This policy works alongside our Privacy Policy to explain how your data is collected and used.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, improve your browsing experience, and provide information to the owners of the site.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies to enhance your experience on our recipe site. Specifically, cookies help us:
Remember your settings and preferences (such as switching between metric and imperial measurements, or adjusting recipe serving sizes).
Understand how you navigate our site so we can improve our content, layouts, and recipe categories.
Deliver relevant advertisements that match your interests.
Enable social media sharing features and video playback.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
We utilize both first-party cookies (set by us) and third-party cookies (set by other services). They fall into the following categories:
Strictly Necessary Cookies: These are essential for the website to function properly. They enable basic features like page navigation, security, and access to secure areas of the site. The website cannot function properly without these cookies.
Performance and Analytics Cookies: These cookies collect information about how visitors interact with our website. For example, we use Google Analytics to see which recipes are the most popular and to detect any broken links. All data collected is aggregated and anonymous.
Functionality Cookies: These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make. This includes saving your preferences for recipe printing, saving your comment section username, or remembering your dark mode settings.
Targeting and Advertising Cookies: We partner with third-party ad networks (such as Google AdSense or Mediavine) and social platforms (such as Pinterest and Facebook) to display ads and social sharing buttons. These third parties use cookies to track your browsing habits across different websites to deliver personalized advertisements that align with your interests.
4. Third-Party Cookies on Our Site
Because this is a recipe website, we may integrate several trusted third-party tools that may place cookies on your device:
Video Players: Embedded recipe videos (like YouTube or Vimeo) use cookies to track views and remember your playback preferences.
Social Media: Pinterest "Pin It" buttons and Facebook share features use tracking cookies to link back to your social media profiles.
Affiliate Links: If you click on an affiliate link to purchase a recommended kitchen tool or ingredient, a tracking cookie ensures we receive a small commission for the referral. [35, 36]
