Privacy Policy
This policy explains how RecipesInc (https://recipesinc.com), a United States-based recipe website, handles information associated with visits, comments, correspondence, analytics, and advertising. Contact the RecipesInc team at recipesincdotcom@gmail.com.
Information we receive and why
When you email us, we receive your email address and the information you choose to include, so we can respond and handle corrections or other requests. Please do not send sensitive information in comments or email.
Comments can include your name, email, optional website, comment content, IP address, and browser information. These help display discussions and detect abuse. Published comments and names are public; email addresses are not intentionally published. WordPress may send a hashed email identifier to Gravatar to display an avatar. See Automattic’s privacy policy.
Our hosting and security services process technical information such as IP addresses, request times, browser/device data, and requested pages to deliver the website, maintain security, and troubleshoot problems.
Cookies and analytics
WordPress uses cookies for login, preferences, and optional saved comment details. RecipesInc uses Google Analytics to understand visits and page use. Depending on your settings and consent, Google Analytics may use cookies or similar identifiers and process device, usage, and approximate-location information. We do not intentionally send comment text, names, or email addresses to Analytics.

Advertising and third-party services
Advertising services used on RecipesInc may include Google AdSense and Mediavine. The disclosures below apply when the relevant service is loaded. The provider serving ads can vary by page, region, consent, and browser settings.
Google advertising
Google and other advertising vendors may store cookies and use prior browsing activity on this and other websites to select and measure ads. Google advertising cookies can support personalized ads across participating sites. Manage personalization at Google My Ad Center; additional industry choices are available through Digital Advertising Alliance. Learn more in Google’s Privacy Policy.
The following provider-supplied notice describes Mediavine advertising where enabled:
Mediavine Programmatic Advertising (Ver 1.1)
The Website works with Mediavine to manage third-party interest-based advertising appearing on the Website. Mediavine serves content and advertisements when you visit the Website, which may use first and third-party cookies. A cookie is a small text file which is sent to your computer or mobile device (referred to in this policy as a “device”) by the web server so that a website can remember some information about your browsing activity on the Website.
First party cookies are created by the website that you are visiting. A third-party cookie is frequently used in behavioral advertising and analytics and is created by a domain other than the website you are visiting. Third-party cookies, tags, pixels, beacons and other similar technologies (collectively, “Tags”) may be placed on the Website to monitor interaction with advertising content and to target and optimize advertising. Each internet browser has functionality so that you can block both first and third-party cookies and clear your browser’s cache. The “help” feature of the menu bar on most browsers will tell you how to stop accepting new cookies, how to receive notification of new cookies, how to disable existing cookies and how to clear your browser’s cache. For more information about cookies and how to disable them, you can consult the information at All About Cookies.
Without cookies you may not be able to take full advantage of the Website content and features. Please note that rejecting cookies does not mean that you will no longer see ads when you visit our Site. In the event you opt-out, you will still see non-personalized advertisements on the Website.
The Website collects the following data using a cookie when serving personalized ads:
- IP Address
- Operating System type
- Operating System version
- Device Type
- Language of the website
- Web browser type
- Email (in hashed form)
Mediavine Partners (companies listed below with whom Mediavine shares data) may also use this data to link to other end user information the partner has independently collected to deliver targeted advertisements. Mediavine Partners may also separately collect data about end users from other sources, such as advertising IDs or pixels, and link that data to data collected from Mediavine publishers in order to provide interest-based advertising across your online experience, including devices, browsers and apps. This data includes usage data, cookie information, device information, information about interactions between users and advertisements and websites, geolocation data, traffic data, and information about a visitor’s referral source to a particular website. Mediavine Partners may also create unique IDs to create audience segments, which are used to provide targeted advertising.
If you would like more information about this practice and to know your choices to opt-in or opt-out of this data collection, please visit National Advertising Initiative opt out page. You may also visit Digital Advertising Alliance website and Network Advertising Initiative website to learn more information about interest-based advertising. You may download the AppChoices app at Digital Advertising Alliance’s AppChoices app to opt out in connection with mobile apps, or use the platform controls on your mobile device to opt out.

Embedded content, images, and email services
Remote images, avatars, videos, or embedded social content can contact the provider’s servers and expose technical information such as IP address and referring page. Existing pages may load images from Unsplash; its privacy policy explains its practices. A third-party website controls its own collection when you follow a link or interact with its embedded content.
Hostinger provides website services, and its Reach integration may load on our pages. If you use a displayed subscription form, your submitted details may be processed to deliver the messages you requested. Marketing consent and unsubscribe choices are handled through that form and the messages. We do not automatically subscribe people who email us. See Hostinger’s privacy policy.
Sharing, retention, and security
We use service providers for hosting, email, analytics, security, and advertising as described above. We may disclose information to comply with applicable obligations or protect the site and its users. Advertising-related disclosures may be considered a sale or sharing under some state privacy laws.
We keep correspondence as needed to respond and maintain relevant records. Approved comments and their metadata may remain with the discussion; technical and service-provider data follow applicable settings and retention practices. We use reasonable safeguards, but no online transmission or storage is completely secure.
Your privacy requests
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, or a copy of information, or opt out of certain advertising uses. Email recipesincdotcom@gmail.com with the subject “Privacy request” or “Do not sell or share.” We may ask for information needed to verify your request and will respond as applicable law requires. Some records may need to be retained for security or legal reasons. We do not discriminate for exercising applicable privacy rights.
For device-based advertising choices, use any privacy controls displayed with ads or the links on our privacy choices page. Where consent is required, nonessential services should only operate under the applicable consent settings. Browser cookie controls are not a substitute for all statutory rights.
Children, international visitors, and updates
RecipesInc is intended for a general audience and does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Contact us if you believe a child has provided information so we can investigate. Service providers may process information in the United States and other countries. This policy may change as services and practices change; the date above indicates the latest update.
