Comments and Recipe Ratings
When you submit a comment or recipe rating, the information entered in the form is processed so that your contribution can be reviewed and displayed.
Approved comments may publicly display your name, comment, rating, and optional website link. Your email address is not intended to be published with your comment.
Technical information, such as your IP address and browser information, may also be processed for moderation and spam prevention.
If you select the option to remember your name, email address, and website, cookies may store those details in your browser for future comments.
Public comments can be read, copied, or indexed by other people and search engines. Please consider this before sharing personal details.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
Cookies are small files stored on your device. The site and its service providers may use cookies or similar technologies to support website features, remember choices, and measure website usage.
You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect some features, including remembered comment details.
Where a cookie-preference tool is available, you can also use it to manage the choices it provides. Nonessential technologies that require consent under applicable law must be managed through the relevant consent controls.
Google Analytics
Mama’s Secret Recipes uses Google Analytics to help understand website traffic and reader engagement.
Depending on the configuration and your consent choices, Google Analytics may process information about pages visited, interactions, browser and device characteristics, approximate location, and identifiers.
I use analytics reports to understand which content readers find useful and where the website can improve.
For information about Google’s practices, visit Google’s Privacy Policy. Google also provides a Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on for supported browsers. Google
Service Providers and Information Sharing
Information may be processed by service providers that support the website, including hosting, email delivery, analytics, and website maintenance providers.
Some website images or profile features may be delivered through third-party services, including Gravatar. Loading third-party content can disclose technical information, such as your IP address, to the provider. Gravatar is covered by Automattic’s Privacy Policy. Automattic
Information may also be disclosed where necessary to comply with legal requirements, respond to lawful requests, or protect the website and its readers.
Advertising
If advertising services are introduced, this policy will be updated or supplemented to identify the relevant providers and explain their data practices.
Advertising providers may use cookies, identifiers, or similar technologies to deliver advertisements, measure performance, or personalise advertising, subject to applicable law and consent requirements.
Any advertising-specific privacy notice displayed on this page should be read alongside this policy.
External Links
The site contains links to other websites, including social platforms. If you follow a link, the destination website’s privacy practices apply to your activity there.
Please review its privacy policy before providing personal information.
Information Retention
Information is retained according to its purpose and applicable requirements.
Comments may remain available while they are relevant to the associated article. Correspondence may be retained to handle enquiries and maintain appropriate records. Technical and analytics information is subject to the relevant website and provider settings.
Some information may need to be retained for legal obligations, security, dispute resolution, or backup recovery. A deletion request may therefore be subject to lawful exceptions.
International Processing
Website service providers may process or store information in countries other than your country of residence.
Where applicable law requires protections for international transfers, the relevant safeguards must apply to those transfers.

I may need to verify your identity before acting on a request. Please do not send identity documents unless specifically requested through an appropriate process.
Children’s Privacy
Mama’s Secret Recipes provides general cooking and recipe content and is not intended to collect personal information from children.
If you believe a child has submitted personal information, please contact admin@mamassecretrecipes.com so that the information can be reviewed and appropriate action taken.
