Privacy Policy | Recipes By Kip

What information is collected

The site collects two kinds of information: what you share voluntarily, and what’s gathered automatically as you browse.

Information you provide:

• Newsletter sign-ups & downloads — your name and email address when you subscribe or grab a free resource.
• Comments on recipes — the name you choose to display, your email (kept private, never published), and your comment text.
• Contact messages — anything you send through the contact form, including your name and email.
• Giveaways or surveys — occasionally a mailing address for prize delivery if you participate.

Information collected automatically:

• Log data — your IP address, browser type, operating system, and the page that referred you.
• Usage data — pages you visit, time spent on recipes, and searches within the site.
• General location — derived from your IP address (city/country level only, not precise).

Cookies and tracking

This site uses cookies — small text files stored on your device — to improve your experience. They help with:

• Remembering your preferences and display settings.
• Tracking site performance through Google Analytics (anonymous, aggregated data).
• Enabling social sharing buttons (Pinterest, Facebook, etc.).
• Serving relevant ads through third-party ad networks.

You can set your browser to refuse all cookies. Some site features may not work as intended if you do, but all recipes will still be fully accessible.

How your information is used

• To send you newsletters, recipe updates, or resources you’ve signed up for.
• To respond to your messages and comments.
• To understand how the site is performing and improve the content.
• To display relevant advertisements that help keep the site running.
