Privacy Policy

Last updated: 29 October 2026.

This Privacy Policy explains what information Recipes Loft (recipesloft.com) and the services it uses collect when you visit the website or contact us, how that information is used, and the choices you have.

Information you provide

We receive information you choose to submit, such as your name, email address, and message when you use the contact form. We use it only to reply to you. Please do not send sensitive personal information through the form.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, our hosting provider records technical information such as IP address, browser type, device type, referring page, requested pages, and timestamps in server logs used for security and troubleshooting.

Cookies and similar technologies

Cookies are small files stored by your browser. Recipes Loft uses cookies that are needed for the site to work and, where the law requires it only with your consent, cookies for measurement and advertising set by the services described below.

Advertising (Google AdSense)

Recipes Loft shows ads served by Google AdSense, which keeps the site free to use.

• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.
• Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
• You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalised advertising at www.aboutads.info.
• Learn more in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services and How Google uses cookies in advertising.

If you do not opt out, you may still see ads, but they will not be personalised.

Analytics (Google Analytics)

We use Google Analytics, loaded through Google Tag Manager, to understand which pages are read and how visitors find the site. It reports aggregated statistics such as page views, device types, and approximate location. You can install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on to prevent it from collecting data about your visits.

Consent in the European Economic Area, the UK, and Switzerland

Visitors from these regions see a consent message from Google’s certified consent management platform before advertising and analytics cookies are used. You can accept, refuse, or choose by purpose, and change your choice at any time through the privacy and cookie settings link shown on the page.

Sharing buttons

Our share buttons are provided by AddToAny. They load from AddToAny’s servers, which may receive technical information such as your IP address. Sharing a page sends it to the network you choose under that network’s own privacy policy.

How information is used

• To operate, secure, and improve the website.
• To reply to messages.
• To understand which recipes and guides are useful.
• To show advertising that funds the site, in line with your consent choices.
• To meet legal obligations and prevent misuse.

Retention

Contact messages are kept only as long as needed to answer them and for reasonable record-keeping. Server logs are kept for a limited period for security. Data held by Google is governed by Google’s own retention settings and policies.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, including under the GDPR and US state privacy laws such as the CCPA, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to certain uses of your personal information, and to withdraw consent at any time. We do not sell personal information in exchange for money.

Children’s privacy

Recipes Loft is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to this policy

We will update this page when the services we use change, and change the date at the top.
