Privacy Policy

Effective date: July 8, 2026 · Last updated: October 1, 2026 · Applies to mommycooking.org

1. Who we are

MommyCooking.org ("we," "our," "us") is an independent recipe website. You can reach us anytime at hello@mommycooking.org or through our contact page.

2. What we collect (very little)

• No accounts, no sign-ups. You can use every part of this site without creating an account or giving us your name.
• Saved recipes. When you tap the ♥ save button, that choice is stored in your own browser (localStorage) on your own device. It never travels to our servers, and we cannot see it.
• Email. There is no newsletter and no contact-form service. If you email us, we receive the address you send from and use it only to reply.
• Basic technical logs. Like nearly every website, our hosting provider keeps standard server logs (IP address, browser type, pages visited) for security and performance. The hosting provider controls how long these logs are retained; we use them for site operations and security.

3. Cookies and advertising

We are preparing this site for advertising. Google AdSense code is present for site review, but we are not currently showing ads. The code may contact Google. If ads are enabled, third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites. Google's advertising cookies may allow Google and its partners to personalize those ads.

You can manage or opt out of personalized ads at Google My Ad Center, and opt out of some third-party vendors at aboutads.info/choices. Learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services. Our Cookie Policy explains the current services and browser controls.

Before personalized Google ads are served to visitors in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, we will verify the required Google-certified consent management setup and update this policy to describe the active choices.

4. Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 to see, in aggregate, which recipes are read most (page views, general region, device type). Google Analytics may use cookies and device information to measure visits. We review its reports in aggregate and do not use them to deliberately identify individual readers.

5. Your rights and choices

• Clear your saved recipes: clear your browser's site data for mommycooking.org — everything stored locally disappears instantly.
• EU/UK visitors (GDPR): you have the right to access, correct, or delete personal data we hold (such as an email you sent us, and information processed by our service providers). Email us and we will handle it promptly.
• California visitors (CCPA): we do not sell your personal information. You may request details or deletion of anything we hold by emailing us.
• Cookies: you can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time; the recipes will keep working.

6. Children's privacy

Our recipes are family-friendly, but the site is intended for adults doing the cooking. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, email us and we will delete it.

7. Links to other sites

Recipe posts may link to other websites (ingredient guides, tools we love). Once you leave mommycooking.org, that site's privacy policy applies, not ours.

8. Changes to this policy

If we change how we handle information, we will update this page and the effective date above. Big changes get a note on the homepage — no sneaky edits.
