Privacy Policy
Last Updated: October 6, 2026
Your privacy matters to us. This policy explains what information Recipely collects, how we use it, and what choices you have. It takes about three minutes to read.
Information We Collect
We collect information in three ways:
- Information you give us. This includes your name, email address, and message when you use our contact form, leave a comment, or join our newsletter.
- Information collected automatically. When you visit, we may record your IP address, browser type, device, pages viewed, and time spent on the site.
- Cookies. These are small files stored on your device that help the site work and show us how people use it.
How We Use Your Information
We use your information to:
- Reply to your messages and comments
- Send newsletters, if you subscribed
- Improve our recipes, content, and site design
- Understand which recipes readers like most
- Prevent spam, misuse, and technical problems
We don’t sell your personal information.
Cookies and Analytics
Like most websites, Recipely uses cookies to make your visit smoother. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time, though some features may not work as well without them.
We may use analytics tools such as Google Analytics to see how visitors use the site. These tools may collect data under their own privacy policies.
Advertising and Google AdSense
We may show ads on Recipely, including ads served by Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your earlier visits to this and other websites. Google’s advertising cookies let it and its partners show you ads based on your visit to our site and other sites online.
You can opt out of personalized advertising in Google’s Ads Settings at https://adssettings.google.com. To learn how Google uses data from sites that use its services, visit https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
Comments and Contact Forms
If you comment or send us a message, we store the details you provide, such as your name, email, and message, so we can reply and manage the conversation. We don’t publish your email address. Only the name and comment text you choose to post appear on the site.
Third-Party Links
Our recipes sometimes link to other websites. We aren’t responsible for their privacy practices, so we suggest reading their policies before you share any information.
Children’s Privacy
Recipely isn’t aimed at children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect their personal information. If you believe a child has shared data with us, contact us and we’ll delete it.
Your Rights and Choices
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal information, or to object to certain uses of it. To make a request, email us with “Privacy” in the subject line. We’ll respond as soon as we can.
Data Security
We take reasonable steps to protect your information, but no website or online transfer is completely secure, so we can’t guarantee absolute security.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we’ll post the new version here with a revised Last Updated date.
