Cookies and data stored in your browser
- Necessary cookies: keeping you logged in (WordPress) and remembering your choice in the cookie banner. The site would not work without them – we use them without consent.
- Convenience data in your browser (not cookies; they never leave your device): ticked ingredients, the chosen number of servings, the ingredients entered in the “What’s in your kitchen?” search. You can delete them at any time by clearing your browser data.
- Analytics cookies (Google Analytics): to measure visits (how many visitors, which recipes are popular), only after your consent. Provider: Google Ireland Ltd. – https://policies.google.com/privacy . Retention: at most 14 months, according to the Google Analytics setting.
- You can change or withdraw your cookie settings at any time with the “Cookie settings” link in the footer.
Embedded videos: recipe videos (YouTube in privacy-enhanced “nocookie” mode, Vimeo, Facebook) load only when you click “Watch the video”; the video provider then processes data under its own rules.
Share buttons: the Facebook, Pinterest and WhatsApp share buttons are plain links – we load no tracking code; data reaches the provider only if you click.

Artificial intelligence: we use AI services (Anthropic – Claude; Google – Gemini) to write some recipes, to translate recipes and to create recipe images; for these they receive only recipe content. Comments are also sent to the AI service (Anthropic – Claude) for automatic translation – only the text of the comment, without your name or email address – and the translation is shown below the original comment. Please therefore do not write other people’s personal data in comments. AI-generated images are labelled “AI-generated image”.
We do not sell your data, and we do not pass it on to third parties for advertising.
05
Data security
The site runs over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection, passwords are stored encrypted, and security plugins monitor login attempts (for this, the IP addresses of login attempts are logged for a short time). Only the controller has access to the data.
06

- erasure (“right to be forgotten”): deletion of your account, comments, ratings and submitted recipes;
- restriction and objection to the processing;
