Cookie Policy
What cookies are, which ones this site uses, and how to switch them off — in plain English.
Effective date: August 10, 2026 · Last updated: October 1, 2026 · Applies to mommycooking.org
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website, or a service that website uses, stores on your device. Similar technologies such as local storage and tracking pixels work the same way. This page explains which ones are involved when you visit mommycooking.org, and how you can switch them off.
2. We set no cookies of our own
We have no accounts, logins, or shopping cart. The saved-recipes feature stores your choices in your browser's local storage. Google Analytics may set first-party cookies on this site's domain, and Google AdSense code may contact Google while we prepare for advertising. These technologies are described below.
3. Measurement cookies (Google Analytics)
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand, in aggregate, which recipes people read and how they found us. It sets cookies that help it tell one visit apart from another. We do not use it to identify you personally, and we never sell this data. You can opt out of Google Analytics on every site by installing Google's browser opt-out add-on.
4. Advertising cookies (Google AdSense)
We are working towards showing ads on this site through Google AdSense. When ads are running, Google and its partners may set cookies to limit how often you see the same ad, to measure whether ads work, and in some cases to show ads based on your earlier visits to this and other sites. You can review or change your ad settings at any time in Google My Ad Center, and read more at how Google uses information from sites that use its services.
5. If you are in the EEA, the UK or Switzerland
Before personalized ads are served to visitors in these regions, we will verify a Google-certified consent management platform where required. We will describe the available choices here when that setup is active. You can also control cookies in your browser as explained below.
6. How to control cookies yourself
Every major browser lets you view the cookies stored on your device, delete them, block them for one site, or block them everywhere. Look for "Cookies", "Site data" or "Privacy" in your browser settings. Blocking cookies will not stop you reading any recipe here — nothing on this site is locked behind them.
7. Changes to this policy
If we add or remove a service that uses cookies, we will update this page and change the effective date at the top.
