Recipe Recommendations is a recipe blog. This page explains, in plain words, what we collect when you visit and what we do with it.
What we collect
- Visit statistics. We count visits with Simple Site Stats, our own analytics service. When a page loads, it records the page address, the page that sent you here, your screen size, your browser and device type, and your approximate country, region and city, worked out from your IP address on our own server. Your IP address itself is stored only in a scrambled form that changes each day and isn’t sent to any other company. We keep a random visitor ID in your browser for up to 13 months after your last visit to count return visits, without storing your name or IP address. Detailed visit records are deleted after 90 days; only daily totals are kept.
- Messages you send. If you use our contact form, we receive your name, email address and message so we can reply.
- Comments. If you leave a comment, we keep the name, email address and comment you enter, and your browser may save your name and email in a cookie so you don’t have to type them again.
- Server logs. Like most websites, our host keeps standard logs, such as your IP address, browser type and the pages requested, to keep the site running and secure.
Your choices
- We don’t count your visit when your browser sends a Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signal.
- You can also keep your visits out of our statistics by blocking simplesitestats.com in your browser or with a content blocker.
Services we use
- The site is hosted by Hostinger, which runs the servers that store this information.
- Some recipe pages include videos from Vimeo. When a video player loads, Vimeo receives your IP address and browser details.
- Our visit statistics run on Simple Site Stats, our own service on our own hosting.
What we don’t do
We don’t sell or share your information, we don’t use advertising cookies, and we don’t track you across other websites.
