Privacy Policy
This policy explains what information Spice & Simmer collects when you visit, how it is used, and the choices you have. We keep it short and plain because that's how we'd want it explained to us.
Information we collect
Spice & Simmer is a content site. You do not need an account to read it, and we do not ask you to register or hand over personal details to browse recipes. Like most websites, our servers automatically log standard technical information such as your IP address, browser type, and the pages you request. This is used to keep the site running, diagnose problems, and understand which recipes are useful.
Cookies and similar technologies
We may use cookies and similar technologies to remember basic preferences and to measure how the site is used so we can improve it. Cookies are small text files stored by your browser. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; the site will still work, though some conveniences may not be remembered between visits.
Third-party services
Some features rely on third parties. Our recipe data and photography are sourced from TheMealDB, a free public recipe database. We may also use analytics and advertising providers that set their own cookies and collect usage data under their own privacy policies. We do not control, and are not responsible for, the practices of these third parties; we encourage you to review their policies.
How we use information
We use the limited information we collect to operate and secure the site, to understand general usage trends, and to improve the recipes and the way they're organised. We do not sell your personal information.
Data retention and security
We keep technical logs only as long as needed for the purposes above, and we take reasonable measures to protect the information we hold. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children's privacy
This site is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page, so it's worth checking back occasionally.
