What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (such as a computer, tablet, or smartphone) by your web browser when you visit a website. They are commonly used to enable websites to function or work more efficiently, as well as to provide website owners with information about how users interact with their site. Cookies help us enhance your experience by remembering details such as preferences, login details, and user behavior across sessions, so you don’t have to re-enter the same information each time you visit.
Types of Cookies We Use
We use different types of cookies to improve the functionality of our website and provide you with a better, more personalized experience. The cookies we use can be classified into the following categories:
- Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of our website. Without these cookies, certain features on our website, such as secure login and page navigation, would not function properly. For example, they allow us to authenticate users and provide access to secure areas of the site. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information. - Performance and Analytics Cookies
These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website. They help us understand which pages are the most popular, how visitors navigate our site, and how long they stay on each page. This data helps us analyze website performance, identify areas for improvement, and optimize the overall user experience.
For instance, we use Google Analytics to gather insights on website traffic and user behavior. This data allows us to fine-tune the website’s features and content to better suit your needs. These cookies may collect information in an anonymized manner, but they provide valuable information on the website’s overall performance. - Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow us to remember your preferences and settings, such as your preferred language, location, and other customized options, to provide a more personalized experience. For example, if you frequently visit certain recipe categories or save your favorite recipes, these cookies will help us remember that information so you don’t have to manually select it each time you return to our site. - Advertising Cookies
These cookies are used to display advertisements that are relevant to your interests. They can help us measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns by tracking how many people view or interact with specific ads. Additionally, these cookies help limit the number of times you see a particular ad.
For example, we may use Google AdSense to display advertisements on our site, and these cookies help us track the performance of the ads. By using these cookies, we can also tailor advertisements to better suit your preferences, improving your overall browsing experience. - Third-Party Cookies
In addition to the cookies we set, third-party organizations, such as advertising networks, social media platforms, and analytics providers, may also set cookies on your device when you visit our website.
